In the Dungeon series[edit]

This is a set of redone existing classes from official material. Generally I take the WoTC version of the class and build upon it, simplifying descriptions and the way features work, if I find them too convoluted. Next I try to heighten their power-level with various sources: my imagination alone (usually the less used), other variations of the class made by someone else (I try not to copy, but to innovate on the concept giving my own spin to it, but this is not in any way always well done), or generally themes and mechanics I found around. I'm not an expert on balance or power levels, as I have played for a short time and not so often, so I lack a lot of knowledge and experience, especially of high levels. Despite this I have come to understand the profound imbalances the official material bring along, and I intend to reduce it, as much as I can. Having said this I prefer to think to campaigns not solely based on fighting, combat or contrapposition as ways to resolve conflict and solve issues. So I don't mind a bit of underpowered features or abilities, as I just think that different classes are made for different campaigns and groups and not all must be compared to wizard's level of power, as balancing is a skill that goes beyond formal rules.

Project is to make this in a sort of sourcebook
