SR
40krpg
Though being fast and wearing armor aren't mutually exclusive in those systems.
>>43969867
Mutants and Masterminds.
Go do whatever the fuck you want.
>>43969867
Avenger in 4e is bretty good.
>>43969913
>anything 4e
>good
I know you can't really mean that anon anon can you?
>>43969867
You can do that in FATE.
Or GURPS.
Or Champions.
Or BASH.
Or Savage Worlds.
Or Big Eyes Small Mouth.
Or RISUS.
Or World of Darkness.
Or basically any game that has open character creation instead of classes.

Anon, I don't particularly like 4e (though, like any system, it can be fun in a good group), but the Avenger is a pretty neat class. It's built entirely around chasing down and slaughtering enemies as they flee from just how god damn scary you are, by doing things like teleporting right next to them, causing them to trip and fall, that kinda shit.
Basically, it's a divine powered slasher movie villain.

Fast naked guy with big sword isn't exactly an uncommon thing, OP.
Hell, even fuckin' DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS 5TH EDITION has support for a fast naked Barbarian.
Once you get out into the classless games the possibilities are endless.
Now, if you wanted a fast acrobatic guy IN ARMOR...
>>43970203
Cloth or leather armor would be nice.
>>43969867
You play 3e or Pathfinder?

I actually modeled this around Dante from DMC. Since it's only 5 levels you can dip into Monk for AC Bonus without hurting yourself too badly.
>>43969867
5th ed Barbarian, kinda. 60 feet movement, three attacks, advantage on all of those, no need for armour.
>>43969867
>SPEEDSTER GLASS CANNON ACROBAT WITH NO ARMOR AND A GREATSWORD
Dnd 5th barbarian, totem warrior subclass(eagle), entertainer background. You can take a different totem animal if you don't mind dipping into Rogue
>unarmored defense
>pick a greatsword (one of the best weapon options for them)
>move speed buff, advantage on dex saves
>Dash as a bonus action to go even fucking faster
>Opportunity attacks against you take disadvantage because you're so fast
>leap up to your strength score in feet (about 15-20 feet in a single bound)
>entertainer background -> performance and acrobatics proficiency
>Literally faster than a Rogue
>barbarians aren't glass cannons! They're tanky!
Then use reckless attack all the time and only rage after a 5-minute transformation sequence or a lengthy speech about defiance and friendship.

I'm going to play this now.
Thanks.
>>43969867
I'm getting TF2 Scout vibes.

It's not particularly effective compared to just wearing medium armor though.
>>43970431
Your AC is going to be shit.
>>43972217
Pretty sure that was the point of the thread.
>>43972255
In D&D 4e, avengers of all builds have one of the highest possible ACs with a single feat (Unarmored Agility), in a game with 18 feats spread out over 30 levels and free feats as a house rule so common that it was previously endorsed by the game's errata-writers on their blogs (before those blogs went to the wayside).
Avengers use no armor whatsoever, the largest weapon possible (usually a fullblade or an execution axe), and have no need for Strength at all, relying purely on Wisdom as their primary score and either Dexterity or Intelligence for their secondary score.
Avengers are high-accuracy, high-damage, high-AC, high-mobility strikers. They do not excel in any of these fields especially well compared to other strikers, but they are very well-rounded overall.
It is a fairly effective way to play a JRPG protagonist.

>It is a fairly effective way to play a JRPG protagonist.
Actually I had a friend who once joked that the Avenger is the class you use if your thought process during character creation is "I wanna play as Ichigo Kurosaki!"
And he's pretty much completely right.
Massive sword.
Robes.
Teleportation/flash step.
A fly speed if you take the right Epic Destiny.

I should have mentioned this about the rules for jumping: The jump distance I mentioned is for horizontal jumps after a 10ft running start. High jump is still [3+strength modifier] after running start. Both distances are halved without the running start. So if you have 16 strength, you can jump 16 feet (3 squares) horizontally or 6 feet (one square) vertically. Also, you can roll Athletics to jump higher, although the rules are ambiguous on that. Also, high level eagle totem lets you do that limited flight thing.
But yeah, good luck. I hope it works well for you.
>>43972217
>AC is going to be shit.
Pretty much, it's going to start around 14-15 unless anon gets great stats, but would otherwise start at 16 in medium armor. But then, OP did ask for a glass cannon, and I suppose that qualifies in a way.
>>43969977
4e isnt that bad, people just like to bash on it. its alright, just not as well made compared to other versions
>>43969867
Came here to say >>43969977
The class is an unarmored greatsword user that chases people down to murder them with extreme prejudice. Fits the concept perfectly.
Play Godlike. The idea of a really fast dude that cuts Nazis in half with a greatsword but would still die with one smg burst is hilarious to me.

you start a little low (14-15) but the barbarian has a d12 hit die anyway, which boosts hit points along with one of the skills that increases your armor, and since getting two 20s with a 14 in a third skill is entirely possible, you'll eventually have 17 AC which is the most you can get with medium armor anyway
not to mention the barbarian gets resistance to physical damage while ragingassuming you start with a variant human you can get 16 STR, 13 DEX, 16 CON at first level, giving you 14 AC; take Mobile to get the increase in speed and ability to disengage and attack in the same action; by 8th level you have the same AC as any medium armor wearer assuming you put two points in CON and one in DEX; by 20th level you can have 20s in STR and CON, giving you better AC than medium armor
>>43974118
alternatively, take athlete at first level and save mobile for later, since you can absolutely afford two feats as a variant human and athlete both rounds out your dex and lets you jump gooder
>>43972590
But does it have a Generic Blade Beam attack/
>>43969867
BECAUSE YOU DON'T PLAY YOU FUCKING UNZIPPED PANTS-ON-HEAD RETARD!
>>43974118
Or you could wear medium armor and raise Strength.
>>43969867
1. Play Anima
2. Choose Acrobatic Warrior
3. Buy Greatsword, ignore armor
Aaand done.
