Here, we can post homebrew classes for others to use

Here is one I have been working on recently: The Paragon

Started from wanting to try and make a "superhuman" character work in a high fantasy setting. One could argue that high level adventurers of any class are basically superhuman, but I really wanted to try and push the idea. Also had a mix of other mechanics I had been playing with that I tried shoving together.

Noteable Features

• Amplified Ability - Player chooses one ability score (other than CON) to define what makes them special. Grants saving throw prof, a unique way to use a B.A., and defines which ability score will interplay with other class features. With the right choices for other features, can make a character that is largely SAD
• Fortification - Meant to represent innately tough exteriors or force fields. Plays with the Damage Threshold mechanic to allow the character to stave off weaker attacks
• Mighty Boons - Similar to Eldritch Invocations for warlocks. Allows player to customize their abilities and power set to fit their fantasy. Some allow for limited spellcasting without V,S,M components, representing innate magical abilities or physical feats that mimic the effects of spells. Others interact with enhancing more mundane rules for carrying/lifting, Hit Die, and more.
• Explosive Strikes - Draws inspiration from the "explosive dice" mechanic from other TTRPG systems and allows certain types of attacks to have devastating potential.
• Elevated / Superior / Ascendant Ability - Increases the maximum possible score for the chosen Amplified Ability (although does not increase the score itself) and gives new ways that score interacts with other mechanics
• Unique Hit Die - Player gets two d4 every level (as opposed to 1d8 or 1d10). This means more hit dice to use, but less impact from each individual die. There are also some mechanics that are fueled by Hit Die for the class
