[QUOTE="Lily Inverse, post: 239175, member: 4594"] Rather than, or possibly in addition to, basing Favored Class on race, why not base it on previous class. It would work something like this. At first level, you can pick any class as normal. After that, you can advance in your original class, or in a "related" class without penalty. If you wish to branch outside of your related classes, you pay the XP penalty. Favored Classes are always based on the class you advanced in previously. Favored Classes are as follows: Barbarian: Bard, Fighter, Druid, Ranger. Bard: Fighter, Rogue, Sorcerer, Wizard. Cleric: Any (if approved by patron diety), Paladin, Monk Druid: Cleric (Of related diety), Ranger Fighter: Barbarian, Bard, Monk, Paladin, Ranger Monk: Cleric, Fighter, Paladin, Rogue. Paladin: Cleric, Fighter, Ranger (If follower of a nature diety) Ranger: Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Rogue Rogue: Bard, Fighter, Wizard Sorcerer: Any Wizard: Sorcerer, Bard. (The above selections are based on what I think make sense, not necessarily any game-balance issues) [/QUOTE]
