[QUOTE="Cwheeler, post: 5052859, member: 72242"] Well explained, Garth! The idea isn't to have each character covering all roles, but for each [I]class[/I] to allow for benders of different roles to be made. Perhaps rather than trying to make each bending role work as a single class with variable options, we should construct a separate class writeup for each option, and allow the player to choose from the appropriate bending list (with warlock-esque modifications to powers, as hobbit was suggesting.) The multiclass system is too limited in scope and flavor, and, while it is good for specializations in a character (such as the chain fighter), it would not capture the feel of bending. It takes just as much training and dedication to become a master bender as it does a master swordsman. Well, I definitely agree with you there :). A few extra ideas that might work: [LIST] [*]Rather than using power-source - 'elemental', use the different elements [I]as[/I] the different power sources. [*]Allow Shamans to be played, if a player wishes (or if you are running a spirit-based campaign [*]Use the Ki-Focus rules for benders. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
