[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8959481, member: 63508"] Typically, when people name the traditional D&D or fantasy classes, there are 4: The Fighter The Rogue/Thief The Cleric/Priest The Wizard/Mage/MagicUser But D&D the game historical and currently uses 6 Ability scores. But it doesn't line up. 6 scores but 4 types of characters. And every D&D edition and most D&D adjacent games does this this. 6 but 4. Te Not many games have 6 classe,each wih a different primary or prime ability score. So just for fun. If you were going to make your own D&Dspace game for sale and were forced to not only have 6 classes and each tied to a different ability score: [B]What's your Six?[/B] You can choose for flavor or setting reasons for just that game. You can choose for mechanical reasons for a type of play. You can choose for combat role, exploration role, or social role reasons because that's your thing You can choose for personal reason because you hate bards. [B] What is your Six Classes?[/B] STRENGTH: DEXTERITY: CONSTITUTION: INTELLIGENCE: WISDOM: CHARISMA: Then discuss each other's choices. How you would change them from traditional or current interpretations? Your difficulty in choosing your six. How you fill the one you cant narrow down. Whichedition or game would be your base? Have Fun. As usual, I wont taint your thoughts with my picks until you've got a chance ta ponder. [/QUOTE]
