[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 1372196, member: 892"] Well, as written, the idea is that there are no "Base classes" other than the generic ones (so no other npc or pc base classes). That is sort of the point. It is for DM's who want to simplify. That said, provision is made for prestige classes on a "do it yourself" basis, since you may have to tweak some prerequisites. I suppose you could make regular classes into prestige classes, as this was done with the bard, paladin and ranger in a different section of UA. Also, there is a section on flaws that follows your line of argument (each flaw you take gives you an extra feat slot). But the particular flaws you want are not written up. Similarly, while some class abilities of other classes are made into feats the the generics can take, others are not, but the DM can make extra feats if she so chooses. So the short answer is, you can do what you want, but ya gotta roll up your sleeves and get into the engine yourself for a lot of it. Sadly, there are no names for the featured iconic expert, spellcaster and warrior. I suggest the "generic" names Bob, Sarah and Dave. (In honor of the Knights of the Dinner Table). {Edit} The spelling for the spellcaster should be Sara, not Sarah. Can't believe I missed that one. :) [/QUOTE]
