Progression through levels 1-10 felt solid, and the PC had lots of fun using it, but felt a distinct lack of power as they progressed.

The best way to make a strong class is to playtest with a partyĮxplain with your party that your class will be as balanced as you can intend it to be, but it will not be perfect, and is open to changes if certain features are too strong or too weak. When making a class, you should consider that, and plan something that you would consider to be of a similar level of power, such as an aura of energy that increases your AC, or blinds creatures of evil alignment on a failed charisma save. For example, level 11 is a big increase in power, giving spellcasters access to level 6 spells and fighters and barbarians an extra attack. Even if you do choose to remove most, if not all features, it helps to be able to consider what traits you would add that would be of a similar strength. Having a template is always the best way to start, even if you don't plan to have your new class to be remotely close to the pre-existing class.
