Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brazeku" data-source="post: 3562108" data-attributes="member: 48916">Okay folks, I want to do a complete class/race overhaul.  In this case, I'd limit to 6 races, 5 classes.RACES:Each race would get a bonus feat (selected from 6 racial feats), and a +2 to a different stat.  Races are as follows:Social race: +2 charismaStudious race: +2 intelligenceWild race: +2 constitutionReligious race: +2 wisdomDextrous Race: +2 dexterityWarrior Race: +2 strengthI'm not going to be following paradigms at all when making these races, they will all be different from the current standard fantasy batch.Now, 5 classes.  They'll all be loosely based around the pre-existing classes.FightersSpecialize in dealing damage, defenses, and group tacticsStrength Based: Melee PowerDexterity Based: ranged powerConstitution Based: Physical defenseIntelligence based: Tactical RunesWisdom based: Spell DefenseCharisma based: Leadership effects which improve physical combatRoguesSpecialize in subterfuge and info gatheringStrength Based: sneak attackDexterity Based: trap useConstitution Based: luck-based immunities to effectsIntelligence based: illusion runesWisdom based: senses and scout abilitiesCharisma based: trickery and quick wordsWizardsSpecialize in MagicStrength Based: damaging spellsDexterity Based: transportation and creationConstitution Based: abjurationsIntelligence based: divination runesWisdom based: necromancyCharisma based: Summons and minion creationClericStrength Based: melee buffs and melee abilityDexterity Based: ranged buffs and ranged abilityConstitution Based: healingIntelligence based: divine runesWisdom based: damage reduction/energy resistance aurasCharisma based: leadership effects which improve magical combatDruidStrength based: poisons and debilitating effectsDexterity Based: movementConstitution Based: brewing of potions and poulticesIntelligence based: runes which provide bonuses versus creature typesWisdom based: bonuses in certain environmentsCharisma based: enchantment effectsThe idea here is that each class has a list of feats as opposed to class features, and you can select one, probably every other level. (in addition to the regular bonus feats).  At the same time, there would be racial feats, each of which supports use of a different type of feature.  This is going to take some time, because the feat list would need an overhaul, although most of the useful ones would be intact.  Most spells and effects would remain mechanically the same, but the spell lists would be rearranged and probably cut down overall.Now, this is going to be a lot of work.  What I'm wondering is: does it seem worthwhile?  Would an overhaul based on this design philosophy be likely to produce good results?  And finally, would anyone like to contribute?</blockquote>
