OSR Let's make Shadowdark classes!

This is using the Seer's spell casting progression. The Elven Champion talents are weighted slightly toward wizards over fighters, which I will have to think about.

Is it though? Looking at the odds your landing on a 'mundane' choice most often right?

2d6 Effect
2 Learn one additional wizard spell of any tier you know - Wizard
3-6 +2 to Strength, Dexterity, or Intelligence stat - Both
7-9 Gain an additional level of Farsight - Mundane
10-11 Gain advantage on casting one spell you know - Wizard
12 Choose a talent or +2 points to distribute to stats - Both

Yeah. 8 of 12 results are or could be seen as 'Fighter' depending on the Stat chosen. Looks fine to me.

I was thinking it would be nice to have a talent roll be definitively fighter in nature, although I feel like awarding weapon mastery might be too good, along with overlapping with Farsight.

Weapon Mastery is what I'm leaving to the Fighter, specifically the level checking of course. Maybe add in +1 damage to melee/range in there some where, since Farsight has the +1 to attack.

That's probably the way to go, replacing getting advantage on a spell. An Elven Champion shouldn't be better at wizardry than a "single-classed" wizard is.

Or elf flavor it. +1 to swords and bows for example.

Also a good choice!
