Class Design Template

Design Note :

  • Hit Die / HP : [d4 / 8] - [d6 / 10] - [d8 / 13] - [d10 / 17] - [d12 / 22] (Ref: Mage d6, Druid d8, Fighter/Paladin d10).
  • Non-casters : Swap spell tiers for other features. Remove Upgraded Cantrip at LVL 5, 10, 15, and 20 without replacement.
  • Half-casters : Grant new spell tiers every 3+ levels, OR every 2/.../3/4 levels (scaling down) to restrict high-tier access.

Player Progression :

  • Upon spell tier unlock : May replace the spells with custom one or Utility spell.
  • Learning extra spells : May learn via in-game roleplay effort, up to INT score.
