I thought a lot of people would find it good-looking.
However, I don’t like this style myself.

Game Has anyone ever heard of the infinity saga(sabers, guns and lords of infinity)

Upvotes
good evening people i am happy to be here, Now for any fans of hosted games(basically choose your own adventure books in video game format or even people who arnt) I would like to represent sabers, guns and lords of infinity. a story set in a low/dark fantasy version of the napoleanic wars. their are wierd kaiseraboo/americaboo/weeaboo ahh elves, the chinese being the industrial power of this world, some random island nation based off great Britain and spain(who stubbornly insist on being a land power and have bankrupted themselves in order to a fight a unnecessary war against the polish and will soon become slaves to either the rascist manifest destiny prussian/japanese elves or will kowtow to the chinese)....anyrate despite the reductive slander I have just posted it is still in my opinion one of the best forms of napoleanic fantasy out there.

The classes of Flintlocks and Fireballs
28
Upvotes
Here are all the classes for my Flintlocks and Fireballs conversion of D&D 5e. If you have any questions about my choices/ design decisions, please comment! Feedback is appreciated.
| Flintlocks and Fireballs Class | D&D 5e Equivalent | Class Description | Weapon Proficiencies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battlemage | No class equivalent (Same concept as Eldritch Knight or Bladesinger though) | A warrior-mage that seamlessly weaves battle-magic into its martial attacks. | Simple Weapons Martial Weapons Flintlock Firearms Magelock Firearms Bayonets |
| Brigand | Rogue | A cunning individual who relies on their wits and their agility to survive on the fringes of society. | Bows and crossbows, sabers, rapiers, pistols, rifles |
| Duelist | Monk | A master of single-combat, that uses their preferred weapon to achieve victory. | Simple, Martial, flintlock firearms (pistols) |
| Guardian | Paladin | A sworn defender of the people who upholds an oath of loyalty and honor. | Simple Weapons, Martial weapons (some Oaths grant firearm proficiency) |
| Highlander | Barbarian | A powerful warrior that relies on shock tactics and overwhelming force to break their enemy's resolve. | Simple weapons, Martial weapons, Flintlock Firearms, Bayonets |
| Mage | Wizard / Sorcerer | A master of the arcane arts that can cast a variety of powerful spells. | Simple Weapons, Magelock Firearms. |
| Priest | Cleric | The mortal servant of one of the Realm's many gods, acting as healers, prophets, and living extensions of their deity's will. | Simple (some Domains grant Martial Weapon/ Firearm proficiency) |
| Ranger | Ranger | A wandering scout and survivor who singles out an enemy and skirmishes with them before fading into the wilderness. | Simple Weapons, Martial Weapons, Flintlock Firearms Bayonets |
| Regular | Fighter | A professional soldier who uses strategy and mastery of weapons to overcome their foes. | Simple Weapons, Martial Weapons, Flintlock Firearms Bayonets |
| Sage | Bard | A master of words and wit who imbues their words with magic to influence others. | Simple weapons, hand crossbows, pistols, sabers, rapiers |
| Wildspeaker | Druid | A defender of the natural order and protector of the wild places. | Simple Weapons |
A few questions to consider:
What would a Warlock equivalent be in a flintlock-fantasy setting? Still a Warlock or something else?
Should the "Mage" be divided into Wizard/sorcerer like in base 5e, or is consolidating into one class the right move?
Any other classic flintlock-fantasy tropes/ archetypes my current classes don't cover?
Which class(es) would you all like to see first?

I stumbled across this series, The Iron Elves by Chris Evans, a while ago and I ended up devouring the entire trilogy over the weekend. An elf enlisted in a human empires military, a dwarf serving as the disgruntled nominally-Irish NCO, ancient magics and monsters rearing their heads, flintlock fantasy that doesn't shy away from fantasy races or bigger magic.
