What setting and subclass should come next? (Patreon)
Content
Hey heroes!
With the release of the Upheaval setting, now is the time to look forward and decide what new setting and subclass pair should come next. Each time a new setting is released in this way, you can expect to see another poll just like this.
Each poll includes three options. The runner-up of the previous poll will stay, while the other two options will be different. There are a total of 12 setting/subclass pairs, so if your favored option doesn't come up now, you can expect to see it later!
1) A subversive Order and set of illustrated Warlock Patrons, The Many
Setting — Classic Thieves Guilds and even the Circle of Dragons are relatively tame in their ambitions compared to this dark collective. These people seek to capitalize on chaos, spreading it to unsuspecting towns and regions as new splinter sects find footholds. Without a central power structure, this group can easily take on the form best suited to subtly disrupt the area, often making their existence difficult to identify. And, because chaos can't be killed, eradicating the Order from somewhere doesn't destroy it, but merely delays its return.
Warlock Patron: The Many — A warlock whose patron has multiple heads or entities, such as the legendary hydra Grihoo, powerful ettins, manipulative medusae, or hellish cerberi. These patrons grant warlocks the power to manifest ghostly heads, which can be sacrificed to save themselves, destroy their enemies, or remain ever-watchful and alert.
2) Legendary food, taverns, and the Cleric Festus Domain
Setting — A series of legendary and unique taverns, as well as a lengthy array of rollable food and drink tables, designed to encourage your players to spend time around the (dinner) table with one another in character and bond as an adventuring party! Includes delightful encounters for scavenging racoons or other more sickly monsters like Food Refuse Golems and Ale Elementals!
Cleric Subclass: Festus Domain — A cleric that specializes in food and drink, using their Channel Divinity to create delicious healing drafts for their friends or use magic to produce sumptuous feasts. These clerics of food and drink can just as easily turn the stomachs of enemies when hit, or coat their weapons with poison or acid with their strikes!
3) A spectacular hanging cliffside domain and the Steel Hawk guards
Setting — A city composed of multiple hanging, ringed tiers attached to the side of a perilous mountainside, separating classes and workers by their elevation. Ravaged by rocs and other high-flying creatures, this realm is a spectacle in its structure and its defenses. Using classic dwarven architecture, these rings support thousands of citizens, fields, homes, and other marks of civilization while being protected by powerful warriors who use gravity to their advantage to quickly reach other tiers and dispatch of their flying adversaries.
Fighter Subclass: Steel Hawk — These powerful warriors are able to supernaturally leap into the air, despite the burdensome armor they may wear, and use the forces of gravity to enhance the deadly force they pack into their weapons' strikes. Using techniques learned from their relentless flying enemies, such as dragons or rocs, these fighters take to the skies and strike fear into their enemies below.
Remember, each setting and subclass will be made at some point! It's up to you to decide which ones you're most excited for and should be made first!
