We are also going with mostly Martial characters for PCs at the start of the game. So far there will be the Fighter, Rogue, Warlord, Ranger and Barbarian classes available; including the Essentials versions/sub-classes. I have been thinking something towards a VP/WP split or perhaps a disease track sort of implementation for wound progression? I have just not come up with anything I am happy with yet.</blockquote>
