KyoDaz's Class Suggestion Masterthread

I LOVE making classes. Mostly all of these (except Tapstress & Waitress) were made in a span of around ~2 hours. They will have huge balancing mistakes and probably just normal mistakes in general. That’s why I appreciate feedback and suggestions on changing certain class abilities, passives ect.

I apologize for any similarities between classes. Inform me and I’ll try to change it if it’s possible.

The most difficult classes I made were the BD and Unseen Support & Killers. I found trouble finding a support action that’s unique that isn’t too similar to what a social would have but unfortunately it’s more social leaned than support. I feel as though the Killer could be abused a bit however I think it’s relatively balanced. Definitely on the stronger conversion side.

Europe (home to the setting and lore which composes ToL) did NOT have coffee in medieval times.
“From China tea spread to other parts of Asia, especially Japan and Korea. But it did not first reach Europe until the sixteenth century, when Portuguese explorers brought some back. In the seventeenth century the Dutch East India Company started importing tea, which became popular as a luxury drink in Europe. Not until the nineteenth century, when the British began having India (then part of its Empire) start growing tea in order to break the Chinese monopoly, did tea become the all-purpose British drink it still is today. (Tea has also become very popular in India in the last 200 years.)”

The IRL lore of ToL is definitely from the 15th century at the absolute earliest, and likely a good deal earlier.
E.g. no coffee.

Changed to mead. However I don’t think it would have posed much of a problem; there is magic staffs and things in the game.

Also, the word barista was invented in the 1980’s in France.

With mead, it can work, but I do suggest changing the name of the BD class at least.

It is a portmanteau directly from French which originally translated to “Bartender in a coffee shop”.

Magic staffs and things are directly canon to medieval times involving the round table and merlinology. More modern technology and foods are not.

Wow.
Needs to be unique just for sheer confirmability.

Actually…
This isn’t very supportive.
It’s more social than anything else.

I’m not sure how to rekit this to work other than either an overhaul or just making it another BD unique social.

Yep. That’s the problem I had.

I’ll try to draft something up.
I’m pretty sure there’s a way to make it work.

Pulling from a long time ago, but this works.

There’s also the idea of a death immunity giver that would work better against reaper, but probably needed to add more on top to make it effective

@KyoDaz
I recommend “Tapstress”.

That could work. Thank you.

It’s probably the only thing that works. I could find no other synonym of bartender that is both feminine and actually exists.

Alice’s Hand of Byzantium game.

Limited use ability giver

The DI giver also could work (although probably necessary to tone it down)

change that to “water” and you should be good on this front.

I first intended for it to be an alcoholic drink to fit the theme of medieval times however I also could not find a suitable word for a female who serves drinks. A male name would be too similar to butler. I dislike the word ‘Barista’ but Tapstress is pretty neat.
As you can tell I’m very into the theme of things. I quite enjoy unused words such as Cordwainer.

From waitress’s Scald

Ye, thank you. I don’t think mead should be hot so I’ll change it to water (which also fits scald) like boiling water.
