One-shots can be customized for a single player if need be. Just requires time and prep work to make sure it is balanced.

@@Kdmud im actually doing that very thing as a personal practice. I got into solo playing when i had to seperate from my group. It does take some time and a practice, but it is possible.

The art is taken from MCDM, it does have a lot of aoe lock downs and close distances because it was made to siege player strongholds and defenses, armys, & security, also MCDM. It is a downloadable class pdf found on their site, it's concept was Hellish anti-paladin debuffer. The subclasses are rouge tanks, warlocks, and Hellish infantry. MCDM has been a prevalent youtuber and relevant GM teaching many 5e DMs for the past 10 years.

@ I see where you’re coming from now with that. I am actually currently running an evil campaign for some players and this would be an ideal for class to throw into it. Evil trying to outdo each other while also dealing with heroes. But the simpler evil vs good players would be counterproductive to include this class for sure.
