On the one hand it could be a lot of fun to include some of the weirder creatures as classes, but on the other I was hoping for a 'humanity against the world' sort of motif.

But I wouldn't want to spoil everything too much. ;) DEX is definitely the most difficult prime requisite to create a class for, because 'thieves' as we understand them just didn't exist in that kind of society. I was actually fooling around with the idea of a 'child' class for DEX, but I'm not sure how to make it worth playing.noismshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933436762608669966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-78530176742535121442008-07-09T23:03:00.000+08:002008-07-09T23:03:00.000+08:00This is really excellent stuff!

Quick clarification: rolling against WIS is on d20, yes? <BR/><BR/>I'm trying to guess how you'll round it out to six classes...hmmm, speculating that you'll use each ability as a prime requisite I come up with: <BR/>tribal champion (STR; warriors who contest with other bands for status and territory); <BR/>astronomer (INT based spellcaster; am I remembering rightly that some aboriginal peoples had fairly detailed knowledge of star movements?); <BR/>shaman (CHA based spellcaster/trickster. One thing that fascinates me about shamans in many societies is the fact that they fulfill a religious role that requires them to use trickery or performance in their ritual; they are "behind the curtain" in a sense).<BR/><BR/>I don't know what to do with DEX.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to future installments.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615194097431562045noreply@blogger.com
