Another simple thread, is there a really cool RPG class in your head that you would like to see?

Personally I think Bards are incredibly underpowered and unfashionable! I want to see a futuristic RPG with a Electro techno bard class! He aids his allies with his trusty Synthesizer and Yamaha keyboard, creating funky beats to fuel his allies and battle enemies! (Coincidentally I happen to be listening to Electro Gypsy right now)

I also want to see a Arctic Summoner! He summons Polar bears, Narwhals, and Sharks to his aid! Definitely not enough RPG games with Sharks and Polar bears.

I say screw the norm of RPG classes like Warrior, Rogue, Mage, and Priest. Kick reason to the curb and make something totally awesome and badass! When you are a bandit killed by a level 99 Fish warrior and his Goomancer buddy, you will regret being a stupid ol' Bandit >:o

Share some cool/funny/awesome/badass ideas, skies the limit.

Feng Shui Master

Manipulate Furniture
???
Profit

How about the whore class?
The one that intentionally sleeps with everyone as a means of helping/getting information/giving deadly stds that she can control who she gives to as a means of totally fucking someone over for life.

That would be an interesting class to play as

You see the evil arch duke Northaque, you need to seduce him.
You have rolled an 8, looks like those turkeys are done.

a fireball class. You become a fireball. if lvl 10 is the max, at lvl 3 you get a face and can breath fire, at lvl 5 you can self-destruct, at lvl 7 you can freeze stuff (you know, because cold is just the absence of heat and you can absorb heat) and at lvl 10 you can eat people and blow up like a nuke.

A thief... but not the regular kind. 'Steal someones TV and throw it at someone' kinda thief.

I've always wanted to be an electrician in horror games, fix those darn lights.

Magician, pull a rocket launcher out from under your hat.

Mathematician, use maths problems to confuse the enemy.

stole this idea from a comic I read but.. KUNG SHOE! the art of masterfully wielding shoes in Kung fu! Screams boot to the head attack, Put shoe on head buff! THROW SHOE! THROW SHOE! Critical heel!

Scientist, you get guns and other futeristic things and chemicals to kill enemies with.

Or how about an everyday kinda guy class, you dont have any special powers or huge weapons, you just have a regular job and normal sized sword.

Gangster

Weapon: Machine guns
Starter weapon: Tommy gun
Powers: Recruit another member, make offers people can not refuse, steal
Starter armor: Suit (Adds +2 to armor and +9 to charisma), Fedora (adds +1 to armor and +10 to bad ass)

Student

Weapon: Everyday school materials
Starter weapon: Number 2 pencil
Powers: Erase, learn, fake sickness
starter armor: Shirt (+3 to armor) You forgot your pants (-3 to armor +22 to social outcast)

Sterotypical homosexual dance clubber

Weapon: Disco moves
Starter weapon: The stomp
Powers: funk, groove, flame
Starter armor: Ripped short shorts (no effect)

I can't think of a cool name for it, so just call it a Shielder. He would wear the thickest and heaviest armour and have the highest defense out of all characters, but lowest agility. Instead of traditional weapons he attacks with shields, using them to slam into his enemies. Sort of like a Spartan shield, but maybe with spikes around the edges, or razor-blade edges. Spells would be mostly defensive and stuns, so very good in a party as a tank, but has no ranged or healing spells.

Gravity Mage.

You can affect the gravitational pull of objects, making them heavier or lighter at your whim, and even causing centripetal pull on objects so you can sling them towards the distant horizon.

I've never had anyone let me do it, and it seems so cool! ;_;

Game critic class. Destroy enemies with cutting jibs about their AI, their polygon count, and overall worthlessness. Distinctive hat and british accent upgrades available.

You should definitely investigate Cyberpunk 2020. It was an innovative tabletop rpg that happened to predict a lot of technological innovations, though many of them were first observed by William Gibson. One of the classes in Cyberpunk was the Rockerboy and as they leveled their main skill they could draw and command larger and larger crowds of fanboys.

As far as my own preferred classes I wouldn't mind seeing despot/tyrant as a class- order guards to kill random civilians as you pass by serving their entrails to other civilians for the sheer amusement of the despot.

Probing Tentacle Master would be a fun class as well. Being able to summon and manipulate Lovecraftian/hentai appendages could be quite amusing and useful.

I'd like to interpret this another way for fun and laughs.

An RPG class, to keep people informed as to the rights and wrongs of how to handle RPGs. Trust me when I say that not everyone's good at this and it doesn't always come easy.

So.. you want an RPG class that basically plays the game for you? because people suck at RPGs?

Brilliant

The O'Reily class, you defeat all your enemies by yelling at them very loudly until their heads explode.

Oblivion Standards:

Heavy Armor
Block
Marksman
Restortation
Destruction
Sword

pancake flipper, cuz god knows they have every other worthless class in Free Realms

The class every one of my d&d paladins become: the Crash Dummy. (Every pally I've made has died multiples times. And was the only character to die.)

Lots of health, no real powers, great saves, and is really cheap to ressurect. Also can be used as a disposable meat shield. X3

Leroy Jenkins.

All they do is run in really quickly and die. but it'd be awsome None the less :)

I always liked the idea of some form of Scavenger Class
It's like you suck for the first fight, because really you have maybe a stick or something
but then when you loot the kill
you can not only wear the armour and use the weapons
you can also start to fashion new armour and weapons out of these drops
mix and match from the first few kills
start making crazy things
it'd be totally badass

The NPC!

You walk around in endless paterns, and say the same thing over and over again when people talk to you.

The class of choice for me? Le Chef.

Armed with a mithril rolling pin and an apron capable of deflection MAD COWS at point blank range, Le Chef seeks to undo the evils of indigestion and a bland palate.

Class features:

Toxic: Hold la onion and hold le garlic? Not in this lifetime, Le Chef can make an attack similar to death fog.

Ginsu: Le Chef's blade can cut through armour and still cut a tomato!

Animal companions: Le Chef has a veritable farm of animal companions ready to do his bidding whether that be trample his/her enemies or marinate for six hours and then be lightly roasted.

underpants gnomes.

Stealth-class, that steals underpants and does profit with that.

Awesomegasmic: By following the teachings of Souplex you have managed to achieve pure awesome. Your very blood has become awesomesauce and you now live your life in dedication to awesome.

Prestige class: Achieve sufficient chutzpa and intuition to unlock this class.
Main class stats: Chutzpa, Intuition. Dump stats: Agility, Charisma, Luck.
Special class feature: An awesomegasmic may apply their Chutzpa (Anything is possible with the will and hard work) and/or intuition (Don't work hard, work smart) stat to any situation where they could reasonably be applied. Since everything in the end comes down to chutzpa or intuition, one of them will apply to any situation.
Class stat bonuses: (Working with percentages to be adaptable to any RPG system, if a modifier would raise something above 100% it will act as if it were 100% but the surplus would counteract debuffs) Chutzpa + 20% Intuition + 20%

Rocket Propelled Grenades are hard to use in combat? I thought it was just point and click.

Manbearpigs.

(for list of attributes please refer to South Park)

Batman!!!!

enough said.

I also want to see a Arctic Summoner! He summons Polar bears, Narwhals, and Sharks to his aid! Definitely not enough RPG games with Sharks and Polar bears.

I'll give you polar bears, I'm playing in a tabletop RPG atm with a guy who's basically playing a Were-Polar Bear, but narwhals? sharks? sounds like a horrendous cross between Chilly Willy and Aqua Man. Utterly useless, and very very cold.

In that vein, I'd want to make the quintessential earth elementalist. Can raise walls of stone out of the ground, open fissures and dirt geysers under his enemies, incase himself in stoneskin and even sink into and travel through the earth itself.

More games need a Bard class.
I really miss Dragon Warrior 4. One of the best ever.
Not to mention that in Dragon Warrior 4 you could make all of your characters the amazing scantily dressed Jesters.

The IT guy, he accesses the games command prompt to defeat his enemies, his skills in binary are unmatched.

I've never had anyone let me do it, and it seems so cool! ;_;

the special ability, increase the gravitational pull inside you enemies hearts, causing a fatal heart attack. (a bit overpowered but still)

Summoner Of Ancient Horrors. Basically, call in a Shoggoth and go mad along with your enemies.

Heliomancer, a kind of firemage that uses the hellfire from within the very sun.

Clockborg, a steampunk-cyborg with a speciality for building stuff, disarming traps and whatnot.

These are my ideas, right off the top of my head.

See, that's the kind of stuff I was thinking of. I would like to be able to make enemies turn into dead weight they can't pick up or make their arms too heavy to lift. I'm willing to take restrictions like not being able to manipulate something I can't myself lift, or not being able to impose more weight than I myself could physically handle, but they still say its too overpowered..

Haha, reading your post I was like "sounds like electro gypsy" and then you mentioned it and i was like "oh... ok then"

I would like to see a class with very low health and defense, but absurdly high stats in everything else, and skills relating to movement, avoidance, countering, crits, ect. as well as bing able to master the skills of other classes.

Basically something that is a jack of all trades so to speak, but with the balancing factor of being easily killed if played wrong. And I want it to have a skill that makes it go fast. Like, from one side of the map to the other in two minutes fast. Movement makes stuff fun to play for me.

Joker class. Attacks with pranks.
