Over the summer I played all three Dragon Age games: Origins, II, and Inquisition. Bioware is awesome, and Dragon Age is now on my "shortlist" of favorite game series'. One of my favorite parts about the series is how freaking cool the Grey Wardens are. They're like the most awesome collection of knights, mages, and rogues that the world has to offer. Obviously playing these games has altered what I want my world to be like, and I was definitely going to work in Grey Wardens in the future, but then WoC was all, "here have a Prestige Class that can serve as a template!" So I took that and ran with it. I altered it slightly to demon slaying rather than darkspawn slaying, in part due to how awesome an order of demon slaying knights would fit into the OotA campaign if I decide to run it. Aside from that I tried to stay true to the source material, and I'd like to know what you guys think about it so far and if you have ideas on how to improve it. Also I haven't told my players yet but of the 6 of them 4 can't get enough Dragon Age so I'm probably going to reveal the possibility of becoming a Grey Warden to them through an NPC just to get the perfect reactions. 5e_Prestige Class_Grey Warden.pdf (86.61 KB) drive.google.com/file/d/0B981z0evkQV1ZlZ4UlUxYW4td1U/view?usp=sharing

I really like this idea, being a huge DA fan myself, I do like the fact that you can die or be severely injured during the joining. One risk of this is a lot of players might not want to take the risk of losing their characters. I suppose that it is nice, flavour wise, though, just like Jory at the start of origins.

I'm glad you like the class. I knew I wanted a really high death/injury rate from the Joining because thematically it fits so I tried to make all the features seem just OP enough to entice people to try it out, also that's why I gave players the option to spend Inspiration on the roll... Also I was talking to another of my friends who plays but isn't in my campaign about the class and he joked about a party of heroes who you've set these ultimate destinies for and they try the Joining and all die.

hmm, I'd add some more demon bond options since it seems you either have allure, or everything dies / goes insane :q
otherwise it seems pretty awesome:)
