Message: <blockquote data-quote="DarkKestral" data-source="post: 3249185" data-attributes="member: 40100">Champion is more of a paladin type... and I'd say it's about equal or slightly better than the Pally, but where it appeals is the options it has and the way you can play an evil champion just as easily as a good one. Warmains (the equivalent of a D&D fighter) would far outclass the fighter, because they are what the fighter should have been. Totem Warriors and Barbarians I would think would be about equal, depending on the totem chosen. Magisters are like halfway between a wizard and a sorceror... so if you allow them access to D&D spells that aren't on the list of AU/AE spells, beware of a large power increase, as I feel that would make them much, much more powerful than either a wizard OR a sorceror. Greenbonds are kinda like cleric/druid mixes in feel, but they play slightly differently. I don't know how they would compare, but I think the CoDzillas come out on top, as they get better BAB, armor proficiencies, and weapons.I'd say Monks and Oathsworn are similar. They both have similar 'fluff' and abilities, though Oathsworn eventually get some nice immunities that can occasionally be nice in 'gritty' campaigns.Runethanes, Mageblades, Unfettered, and Ritual Warriors have no real comparison w/in the Core D&D rules, however, there is a reason Unfettered and Mageblades are considered the best 'light armored fighter' and 'mage/fighter hybrid' classes out there: they actually do what they say they do well without overpowering other classes. Akashics are somewhere between a rogue and a bard.. they're interesting, but don't do much damage, and only limited to a max of +3d6 SA damage even at 20th level, so they're not the best in combat-focused campaigns, where rogues will excel more.Another thing to note is that since there's no alignment in AE, none of the classes have alignment-based abilities like the Monk and Cleric have.</blockquote>
