| + | ==Concept== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The spellweaver is a caster who weaves magic into some form of performance, such as a song, a dance, or a ballad. They are essentially an expanded version of the SRD's Bard character class, and retain some of the bard's flexible ability set. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In mechanical terms, different spellweavers can adopt different roles -- the concept will be presented as a family of three character classes, and effort will go into ensuring that it's possible both to single-class as one of the three classes | ||
| + | |||
| + | The three character classes, for reference, should cover the following: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * A melee-focused 'dancer' archetype. | ||
| + | * A more mystical 'lorekeeper' archetype. | ||
| + | * A 'minstrel' archetype. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Some additional archetypes that might be playable using these classes include: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Ninja/Shinobi, using a combination of the dancer and the minstrel class | ||
| + | * Samurai, using a combination of the lorekeeper and a martial class. | ||
