Well, not "my" players! ;-)

I second that! And it is all the more pertinent in a much more RP-oriented campaign such as mine.

Yeah, but the "If you want..." question seems to be applicable only up to a point. What if I start out with (in my campaign, these are base classes) a Knight who gets to 2nd level, and completely and utterly abandons his liege lord, doesn't wish to crusade anymore, etc. etc. and decides to...

Wow I didn't expect this much of a reaction. Well, I haven't read most of your replies (in fact, only two or three), but please let me amend a few initial comments: I have been using an alternative class system based loosely on the "Legends of Excalibur" rule system. My system uses a Knight...

I have not yet elected to plunge off of the cliff of 3.5 into 4E, and one of the reasons is what I hear of the "multi-classing," if you can call it that, that goes on in 4E. I understand that the system will not actually allow you to pick up levels in another class? That you take a feat in...

Hi, avr! My first instinct in responding is less rational than I would normally divulge, and it would be to say, "fun." It's more fun that the regular commoner class. I have adopted Jim Davies's "Bloke" NPC class to fill the role of more town-oriented commoner. The yokel is intended to...

Below, I've detailed my version of the country commoner devised be Jim Davies (what he called "Yeoman" but what I've devised as separate class): http://users.powernet.co.uk/aaargh/DandD/HouseRules.htm I'm open to suggestions about the class, though not really interested in the "What's wrong...

Hi, Winding Road. Nice pic. As with the barbarian, there is a progression here that sort of "assumes" prior possession of the ability (a barbarian with Uncanny Dodge from a previous class automatically gains Improved Uncanny Dodge). I tried to balance out the number of Skill Points with the...

You make a good point. How about Disease Immunity and Venom Immunity (as per the druid ability), with a higher level prerequisite? Actually...I'm beginning to like that idea the more that I think about it! Good point and worth considering! I would not recommend the above Yeoman class in a...

Thank you! Of course, I didn't put up my other core classes, but I am trying to keep the yeomen (and the rest) rooughly parallel to the basic 3.5 classes. Yes, but do keep in mind that in my campaign, paladins and rangers (as the classes detailed in D&D) don't exist. The paladin and fighter...

I didn't have to get through two sentences of your post to come to an agreement with you, my friend. I have always hated the XP cost associated with Item Creation. That aspect of the fabrication of magical items in 3.0/3.5 is actually the one thing I've always felt was inferior to previous...

Thanks. I just edited it above (and also in my own files; revision is ongoing). Yes, part of my design philosophy was to make every base class in my campaign more customizable than the standard D&D classes while keeping them culturally specific (i.e. to my Arthurian/medieval setting). Hence...

I've essentially replaced the standard alignment system with one based on a honor (a measure of loyalty, integrity, and courage) score and a piety score (a measure of faithfulness and willingness to perform religious duties); both operate on a 1-100 scale, with an associated penalty (for low...

In my camaign, I've utterly discarded the original classes and devised a class system of my own of an Arthurian/"Legends of Excalibur" flavor (for example, my Knight replaces the Fighter and Paladin and my Priest and Magus replace the Cleric and Sorcerer/Wizard, respectively), all of which use a...
