[QUOTE="Cactot, post: 2856205, member: 13700"] Does anyone think it would be possible to create a relatively balanced class creation system where you buy each of your abilities a'la carte, each with an attached point value? Seems like it would be a great way to let people create classes with the flavor/abilities they want without having to slam together prestige classes or play something thats not really what they imagine. Here is a small list of the things that i can think of that would need a point value: ---HP--- D4 D6 D8 D10 D12 (or in my perfect world it would be: d4 d4+2 d4+4 etc..) ---BAB--- 1/2 3/4 1/1 ---Saves--- Each Good Each Medium Each Weak ---Spellcasting (This is the hard part)--- SPELL LIST: Cleric Spell list Druid Spell list Wizard Spell list Psionicis Spell list (only for Psionics) Psi Warrior Spell list (only for Psionics) SPELL PROGRESSION: As Sorcerer As Wizard As Cleric As Druid As ranger/paladin As Psionicist (only for Psionics) As Psi Warrior (only for Psionics) SPELLS KNOWN: As wizard (no limit, but few automatic) As sorcerer (limited spells known) As Druid/Cleric (no limit, all spells known) As Psionicist (psionics only, more) As Psi Warrior (psionics only, less) CASTING: Spontaneous (as sorcerer/psoinicist) Memorize (as wizard/cleric/druid) ---Special Abilities--- (the other hard part) Rage Sneak Attack Divine Grace Animal companion (as per druid, or lesser as per ranger) Special Mount (as per paladin) Ability to use weapon specialization chain AC bonuses Alternative stat to AC (Wis/Con) DR Improved speed Turn Undead Mettle Evasion etc.. Pretty much anything you can find in a prestige or regular class ---Skill Points--- Per each point of skill points per level ---Class Skills--- Per each class skill ---Feat--- Each feat given as part of class progression Each feat given as "bonus feat" ---???--- Stuff I havent thought of So, anyone think its possible to make it, and make it balanced?
