So basically I was thinking of a character in my free time(got a lot of that) and decided to ask you guys for help. The character will start at level 5 and the only thing that is locked in is Goliath as the species. I was thinking of playing a fighter but the theme isn’t really supported by anything so could you recommend anything I could reskin a subclass as. The theme is of a tribal warrior that will have a heavy runes and pelts theme. I don’t really like the mechanics of the rune giant so I thought I could ask you guys. I’ve considered psi warrior,champion and eldritch knight so far if you have any more recommendations I’m open to them

And you run, and you run
To catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking
And racingaround
To come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way
But you’re older
Shorter of Breath
And one day closer to death
currently in love with redesigning subclasses send me a message and I will try
Well, if you’re talking tribal warrior in pelts, that says barbarian to me more than fighter. Subclass could be anything. While there’s no barbarian rune-based subclass, you can always just use them for flavor (or even if you stick with fighter). Just say that when you use one of your powers, you’re doing to by activating a rune.
Besides runes and pelts, can you describe what you want them to be able to do? Runes and pelts— as I said above — are flavor you can put on any class or subclass, really.
What do you envision the character doing in a fight? Out of a fight?
I a fight i would like to be in melee using the runes to my advantage to activate “magic” effects. Out of a fight i would be happy doing most things but I would like some of the runes to be able to do small utility tasks to take some pressure of spellcasters. Thanks for the reply

Well, this really does sound like a rune knight fighter, save for the pelts. Though you could maybe get away with wearing plate mail and flavoring it like pelts. But if you really want pelts, I’d really look at the 24 barbarian. It would be really easy to flavor it like a rune puts you in a heightened state like rage. Primal knowledge at level 3 lets you spend a rage to help with skill checks, again, you could flavor it as activating different runes. To me, wild heart and world tree make the most sense for subclasses.
Also you should check out Bigby’s. Theres a rune carver background which unlocks a rune-based feat. And another background that’s more about giants, but could easily be rune-flavored.

Thank you for your input I will look again at barbarian and that background sounds interesting I’ll have to check it out…
