[QUOTE="Jerrid Al-Kundo, post: 210510, member: 3321"] Nope. The PClasses in my campaign are world-specific; The majority of them are unknown to the Players to begin with, and the qualifications are learned in game when such come up (generally, when it's a good time in-game to allow it). After that, the PCs pursue them as they wish. These, of course, have different measures. Example: Sisterhood of Shadow This PClass is part of an exclusive order. The members are trained from childhood, thus any PCs that are candidates begin Level 0 [i]as[/i] candidates or must work extensively to gain the Sisterhood's trust and confidence. The PClass itself is high level (5 Levels, minimum 12th Level Arcane Caster requirements), and the PC is considered an apprentice of the Sisterhood (or a "Daughter") with a mentor (or "Mother") until finally qualifying. The Mother will suggest proper courses of study, although that these are more than simple recommendations isn't stated. In game, one PC is currently a Daughter of Shadow, being a 5th Level Wizard. She is aware that she holds Apprentice status and will continue to do so until somewhere around 12th-15th Level. Example: Madoni Legionaire This PClass is the foundation of the mercenary companies that operate out of the nation Ma'don. The prereqs are all based on infantry/military training, most of which is only obtainable by enlisting in the Legions. Once the character enlists, they receive the required training. In game, two PCs are currently ranked within the Madoni Legions, although their enlistment is recent. One is a Fighter4/Rogue2, the other a PsychicWarrior4. They have some of the Skills but none of the Feats, and will likely not qualify until almost 10th Level, if not later. Example: Death Master This PClass is the result of years of studious research of the Necromantic Arts. Most of the knowledge required is forbidden, and the fact that the PClass exists is unknown to most people. Learning of this PClass is gained through serendipity; By researching the Black Arts, a character may learn of the possibility of becoming one. When the character actually gains the prereqs, which includes Skills, Feats and a minimum number of created undead, the secrets of this class are revealed and the character may begin taking levels in the Class. In game, the Necromantic Arts are believed to have been trimmed down to near-elimination. That this PClass is possible would surprise my Players, who think I simply dislike Necromancy and chose to reduce its impact in my campaign. They have confused the term [i]Forbidden[/i] with [i]Removed[/i], which is fine by me. Example: Daelori Hero This PClass has been heard of by the characters; However, that it is a PClass and not just a title of honor is unknown. This has been done to be purposefully misleading. Anyone that has proven themselves heroic can gain the title Clan Hero, while the title Daelori Hero is given to those that have done great deads to impress all of the Daelori Clans.
