#dnd variant class

[ncat]

Here she is! A new Variant Class, the sha'ir! The sha'ir is my second favourite class in older dnd (first place going to the binder) because of the interesting gameplay in its design.

In gameplay, it's a Variant wizard with vancian-esque casting with you calling upon individual spells throughout the day, while also being aided by your gen Familiar.

And in flavour, it's a fun mix of the elemental planes alongside some historical influences from Arabia

I'm a big fan of how it turned out. I think I got a good mix of taking what I liked from 3.5, while making it work in 5e, while adding a whole new layer of gameplay.

A fun developer note was turning the historically classic "tech" of the sha'ir shuffle into a true and proper game mechanic.

And yeah, the gens are a good bit stronger in this, turning the class into a companion/summoner archetype of sorts.

I hope you enjoy reading (and hopefully playing) this as much I did writing it (:

Just a small homebrew to get back into the swing of things. This here is a conversion of the Inqusitor from pathfinder into 5e, built as a variant cleric. I'd been considering a half caster cleric for a bit but couldn't find a way to make it feel distinct enough from the paladin, and this ended up working out for that.

General flavor is supposed to be in between a cleric and a ranger or fighter, and mechanically its also that (though, another friend compared its features to a barbarian a little, which I can see)

Yeah, that's about it. Not really my own class since it its pretty much 1:1 with pathfinders, but that's sort of the point, since I made it for a friend who likes pathfinder
