For me, who is considering a similar breakdown, a gladiator would be a knight or skirmisher depending on what they rely on defensively. A Duelist would be a skirmisher. Much like members of the Thieves' Guild are rogues, fighters, and an odd wizard or two. One's a job (gladiator) and the other...

Well, depends. I tend to go with, depending on campaign type and expected length; Three: Fighter, Magician, Specialist Seven: Fighter, Magician, Cleric, Rogue, Druid, Spellsword, Monk Twelve: Assassin, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Magician, Monk, Ranger, Rogue, Paladin, Sorcerer, Spellsword

Part of the equation for me is a familiarity with the campaign world. For me, the neo-trad comes fully into play in the second or third adventure. I want to be a noble --> Now I'm aware of the circle of the powerful. I want to avenge my family --> This temple and guild can be my allies and...

Barbarian. Angry fighter when we already have a woodsy fighter.

OC = Original Character, in case anyone else was wondering.

Looks like it. I wonder if there is more than $15K in legal fees for the trustee and whatever creditors there are.

Very cool! The first thing that came to mind is "where is their sextant? Their compass or sunstone? Their navigational tools might be quite interesting indeed."

Looking forward to it! Are garuda going to be featured as a playable race?

I assure you, sir, if anyone can handle the crunch it is KANT!

Most of the complaints I've read are solved by not allowing the spell to be cast while wearing armor.

Many people need something physical to do to keep their hands busy and minds free. One of my players crochets or needlepoints, another rolls three d20s in their hands. I have had players read their phone to look up rules, pass the time until their turn, focus on something concrete to shut out...

Cool. I was f-t-f with some of his group at University. Not a long time, but I playtested some of his earlier works. Neat guy. Cheers!

Huh, me too. Did you know him in the North or the South?

I just listened to a podcast about the Yellow Fever epidemic of 1793 in Philadelphia. In short, the Haitian Rebellion had started and many refugees as well as expected trade vessels had landed in Philadelphia. It was also an unusually hot summer. The ships brought with them the mosquitoes that...

Well, mice have been known to roar on rare occasion. Mouse-cholered? On second thought, he is following the plotline. Just ineptly. Nevermind! :)

Delightful! Any advice on coaxing out images you want? Or is it largely trial and error?

Brownies and goblins are fae that are created from the dreams and nightmares of children, respectively. When they are killed they disappear in a puff of smoke and wake up in faerieland. It's a long walk back to the waking world, and this makes them cranky. At around 3rd level, the party...

Ah, excellent! Forgive me, I am sometimes humor impaired when not face to face. :)

Which is why I enjoy tacos? Not sure your point. I like prestige classes. Some aren't written well.

I've come to dislike subclasses, but find them doable. I greatly prefer prestige classes as a way to specialize if the generalist aspects of the base class do not satisfy. I also like feat trees, but that seems to lead to 100s of feats that say either "+1 to this" or "perform this one thing from...
