[QUOTE="malladin, post: 1654308, member: 8230"] I suppose I kind of feel obliged to chip in here, for two reasons. Firstly, I'm the moderator for the ENWorld Middle earth conversion site ([url="http://www.enworld.org/med20/"]http://www.enworld.org/med20/[/url]) there's lots of notes on different approaches to a middle earth campaign on teh site, and I'd be glad to put up anything you wanted to contribute. Email me at [email="middle_earth@redmondsonline.org.uk"][color=#0000ff]middle_earth@redmondsonline.org.uk[/color][/email] with anything you've got for it. Secondly, I also happen to be the designer and writer (or at least one of two) of DarkLore. I never actually got to run it, but I did throw together a few ideas for a 4th age campaign set a good few hundred years after the war of the ring based on DarkLore, but it didn't run to classes. If you want to get some more details, or simply to have a look at the six basic classes you can download the free preview, which includes these six classes, from the following page: [url="http://www.malladinsgate.com/downloads/previews/DarkLorePreview.zip"]http://www.malladinsgate.com/downloads/previews/DarkLorePreview.zip[/url] Whilst these classes are not necessarily spellcasting classes, three of them can gain spellcasting powers, whether you decide to use that or not. Personally I don't mind a bit of fairly minor divination type magic which gives the knowledge type character a bit more to do. Another thought on a 3rd age game - magic seems quite prevalent in the power of names (Frodo invokes the names of elven kings and queens on a number of occasions to ward off an enemy). This could work quite nicely with a limited turning power, with different names of legendary characters being able to turn different types of creature (for a 4th age campaign I could use Frodo, Elessar and Gandalf for repelling Orcs and the like) but I would avoid the destroy ability for higher level characters.
