So... no takers, huh? <huff> Fine. 10 no-magic classes of combat and skill... ummmmm.... General/Base Expert: --Warrior/Combat: Fighter. --Rogue/Skill: Thief. Wilderness Expert: --Warrior/Combat: Barbarian. --Rogue/Skill: Ranger. Maritime Expert: --Warrior/Combat: Corsair...

You know me too well/read me like a book. I do not. Not in the slightest.

Rogue's/Thief's Niche is the Skill-Expert Support Class, non-magical by default. Specialists of the Exploration pillar. Default/First class of the Dexterity ability. They can help with Combat, but will never deal as much as a Fighter can (support). They can potentially be good/useful in...

I've got a lot going on. Spite is basically oxygen for getting through the day, at this point. My responses are only half serious. Of course I don't want the franchise to die over a bs class concept. My loathing of Pokemon, however, is 100% real/sincere.

Rather than include a Pokemon class? Yes. A thousand times, yes!

Thank you! I've worked really hard on the polish and buffing.

I was just making a "funny." But since it's been volleyed... I'm well aware. And the inclusion of what video -or other genres- have as characters shoehorned into Dungeons & Dragons classes pretty much never works. If one "wants" a Pokemon...go play Pokemon. If you want a character that is like...

It is, indeed ,tripe. Why people would want it is beyond me. ;P

I loved ye olde AD&D illusionist. I played two. Well, one straight up illusionist, the first one and one of my earliest AD&D characters, a "sorceress" styled human female. She was particularly fond of Wall of Fog and Mirror Image, as I recall. Any chance to make things appear as something else...

They were pegusi (and the dragon), actually. ;)

Or ability dependent/defined classes in the major D&D archetypes...which would bring us to...24? Too many for an initial manual, really. But could be good (if I can come up with enough flavors of things to fill the slots...) The Fighters - Weapons-/Combat-focused classes. Access to any/all...

Swordmage class w/ psychic powers subclass (Psi-warrior). Limited list of "use in combat" style powers. Monk subclass for your shaolin/wuxia monks with amazing "mind-over-body" powers. Psychic class w/ various discipline subclasses for the straight up "telepath/mind blasters" and...

Soooo... Have we decided 12 or 13? Seems like consensus average is 12-13.

<squints to make sure he read this right> Uhhhhhmmmm....because we're humans. In the real world. It is what we know. It is the obvious place to begin. <eyebrow raise> It's not "author bias." Humans are, quite literally, basic to reality. I don't think "every species in the multiverse" should...

Sucker for a personal challenge? shrug* Interesting character concept/idea/personality you just really want to explore/bring to life? I have no idea. I haven't played humans since 2e (and even in 2e, I was firmly in a Elves and/or Half-elves for just about any character.)

Humans are the baseline. Which is why it makes sense that every other species has some bonus to something they are, genetically and culturally, by their creation and/or culture and/or magic, superior to humans in whichever attribute or feature of their -non-human, non-real world, not actual...

I will thank you, sir/madame/they, not to speak for me! Love me some sweaty....glistenin'...pumped up...."pectorials." "Hot....sweaty men....with muscles...BULgin'..." "BLANCHE! Get a hold of yourself!" My Rangers want/need Dex and CON ...with INT (knowing/have learned things) instead of...

First, I thought "Beholder!" Then, I thought, "Mindflayer!" Which I then thought/realized was really kinda a Lovecraft ripoff/"homage." Then I thought, "Flumph!" Too whacky to belong to anyone else, right? Then, I thought, "Bullywugs?" Were they borrowed from someone or was that just Gygax...

Mages - Arcane Magic Full Caster. Limitless Cantrips. Limitless Rituals. Leveled Spell Progression to top tier of 9. Arcane Magic Spell list. Swordmage (better name needed) - Arcane Magic Half-caster. Limitless Cantrips. Limited Rituals known/progression. Leveled Spell Progression, slower than...

hahaha. Nuh-no. That's not how this works. I am not the one asserting the magic system needs "a better core design" so as to include psionics within some single unified system. So, I am not the one who has to define what is meant by what you (and others) have said.
