Complete Adventurer: Which classes are you allowing?

[Robert Ranting]

Of all the complete books, Adventurer is certainly my favorite, and should I ever go back to running D&D, would probably see the most use. In my current Arcana Evolved game, however, I've found use for quite a bit of the content.

Scout- I've always disliked the execution of the Ranger class, so Scout is a neat alternative. While the Rogue, Akashic, Unfettered, and Totem Warrior may overlap some aspects of the class, the Scout is uniquely suited to the Woodsman/Guerilla tactics fighter, and thus earned it's place in my game. I've made extensive use of it for NPCs, and have had two players take levels in it.

Bloodhound- Gotta have bounty hunters.

Dread Pirate- My setting consists of countries on the edges of an inland sea, who do almost all their trading by sea. Obviously, this has to be there.

Exemplar- Now the Rogue can stop complaining about his friend's abysmal sneak checks and do something about it ;-)

Highland Stalker- Once skirmish is in the system, I may as well run with it.

Streetfighter- My setting has large Urban Areas, and this seemed a natural fit.

Thief-Acrobat - see comments on Streetfighter.

Virtuoso- Grants Bardic Music without the need to convert the spellcasting.

Wild-Plains Outrider- seemed very cool and flavorful for those Totem Warriors who want to ride their companions.

[Psion]

Everything but the core classes.

Legends of the Samurai ninja is a better take.
Scout - feh, I don't need another ranger, I just fix the ranger (with FFG's Wildscape)
Spelltheif. I allowed this. In a certain type of campaign it would work. More generally it's too weak to stand up to standard adventuring rigors and too situation reliant.

 

[Gold Roger]

All of them, with some flavor changes. Also I'm thinking of making the Ninja's abilities Int instead of Wis based (though I'd certainly allow both for players).

 

[Sejs]

All of 'em. The Ninja in my games is just like the Spellthief - a rogue/mage hybrid, but one that focuses their magic on stealth rather than stealing. No oriental flavor required.

Ghost-Faced Killer, as noted above, just another cabal of assassins.

 

[el-remmen]

None.
