[QUOTE="DreamChaser, post: 5037097, member: 1190"] This is a place where RP penalties come in handy. They don't gimp the character / player system-wise but they create a sense of story. Ideas that link in with the feel include: Wizard / Warlock = must have familiar and this familiar is not an ally but a servant / spy of a demonic / otherworldly master. Much fun can be had attempting to distract / bribe / etc. the familiar when the caster works at cross purposes with the patron. Also, a page out of Dragon Age could work here. In a world where magic comes from demons, society would censure its practice. Divine = allow multiclassing into the divine classes to reflect that there is a divine presence and they gain some mysterious powers that may be training and may be divine inspiration. No full divine classes. Shaman = Make the spirit companion a physical creature instead of a spirit. This both strengthens and weakens it. Treat it as a summoned creature with all the positives / negatives. If it is killed, it is incapacitated by not actually dead unless the bad guy makes a coup d' grace. Thoughts? DC [/QUOTE]
