[QUOTE="QuaziquestGM, post: 3377673, member: 22559"] keep in mind: that aristocrats get proficincy in all simple and martial weapons, all armors, and all shields, including tower shields, rogue skill points, and a social/knowledge skill suite. -This may be good for modeling the young aristocrat or noble's education before he went off to fighter tech, the institute for wizardy, or bardic College. It would also mean that from this background when the arcanist runs out of spells he can pull his armor and great sword out of the bag of holding to better defend his d4 hit die. that adepts are divine casters, with an odd spell list, that don't have to rest to be able to prepare spells at prayer time. -This may benifit an arcanist that didn't get a good night's sleep to still be able to pray to the spirts for a few spell slots so he can still get off a Burning hands or two. However, it would double the spell prep time for any wizard, archivist, spirit shaman, druid, or cleric. One hour to pray for adept spells, one hour to study spell book or pray for other devine spells. It would also enable some non standard uses for Craft Wonderous Item that a Wizard wouldn't normally be able to pull off. As you are only allowing geshalt for first level for backgound and flavor reasons, why not go whole hog? Allow the first level geshalt to be from the Generic Classes as well. You would end up with results comparible to using only the NPC classes, but with a broader set of options to allow for more customization of the PCs' backstories. [/QUOTE]
