Poll: The Next (and Final) Alternate Class
Added 2025-03-03 02:03:59 +0000 UTCTime for another Patron Poll and this is a BIG ONE!
As I shared in my 2025 Look Ahead, my goal is to have both the Alternate Cleric and the Alternate Druid playable by the end of Sumer 2025. However, I'm stuck as to which I should work on first, so I'm putting it up to you all! You only get one vote - make it count!
Which Alternate Class Should I Develop First?

I really wanna see a druid that plays with the nature/environment aspect more. Creating and spreading your personal environmental domain to gain benefits feels like it fills the controller druid fantasy that seems to be completely ignored in the current 5e druid.

2025-03-04 18:17:42 +0000 UTCRegardless of who wins, I'd really like to see some version of the 2024 Cleric/Druid's 1st level Divine/Primal Order feature that allows you to choose an emphasis on martial or casting. It's a really interesting feature.

2025-03-03 17:56:21 +0000 UTCPersonally, I like the whole Channel Energy feature which gives the cleric a passive heal or passive inflict spell - something I think the cleric lacks even though it IS the healer class. 5e has unique but niche channel divinity features. But pathfinder gives users both. Also access to 2 domains instead of 1 and the subclasses/alt classes are very good too.

2025-03-03 16:54:46 +0000 UTCI need a new Cleric that can compete with the Pathfinders Cleric which is SO MUCH better. Cleric please!

2025-03-03 14:46:11 +0000 UTCI really hope that druid wins! Desperately hoping to see wild shape used for a bunch of unique druid stuff rather than just animal transformations. And also hopefully flesh out their class features a bit since they're so boringgg on level up and I want them to be cool and exciting...

2025-03-03 12:35:14 +0000 UTCAfter 223 total votes, with 8 days to go, I am extremely surprised how close it actually is. Super interesting!! Make sure you vote for the one you really want to see, it could be the tipping point!

2025-03-03 07:52:27 +0000 UTCIm pretty excited to see how both Classes turn out to be 😃😃😃 Quick question, have you considered making the Cleric a Charisma Caster ? Just a tiny change i use in my games, Wich i think suits the Cleric better than Wisdom 🙈

2025-03-03 02:51:12 +0000 UTCLadies and gentlemen, adventurers and dungeon masters, welcome to the main event! Two D&D 5E titans enter the arena… but only ONE will leave victorious! In the red corner, clad in holy vestments, wielding the divine power of the gods themselves, the masters of healing, divine channeling, and celestial wrath… THE CLERICS! And in the blue corner, shrouded in the primal forces of nature, shapeshifting into beasts, commanding the elements, and bending the wilds to their will… THE DRUIDS! Will the Clerics call upon their deities to smite their foes and stand triumphant, or will they be left at the altar, praying for a second chance? Will the Druids unleash the fury of the wild, shifting into monstrous forms and overwhelming their foes, or will they be forced back into the woods to hibernate in shame? The dice are rolling, the spells are flying, and the battlefield is set… LET’S GET READY TO RUUUUUUMBLE!!! ROLL FOR INITIATIVE!

2025-03-03 02:24:39 +0000 UTCI’m sorry but Druid REALLY needs to be simplified and easier to get into. I struggle to figure out its full identity sometimes. Work your magic laserllama!
