[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 1602168, member: 14403"] WRONG WRONG WRONG... The only three classes available from the PHB are the Barbarian, Rogue, and Fighter. There are no Rangers, Monks, Bards, Druids, Paladins, Wizards, or Clerics in the game... at least in the traditional sense. The Ranger has been swapped out with the Wildlander which is basically a Non-Magical Ranger that I actually prefer to the PHB Ranger. The Monk was swapped out with the Defender, once again a martial artist without the pseudo-magical abilities of a Monk but with some really nice mundane abilities that make up for it. The Cleric was exchanged for the Legate which is a servant of the BBG. Wizards and Druids are now Prestige Classes and don't really resemble the basic classes in the PHB... the basic spell caster is the Channeller which while they have an impressive spell list you have to learn the different schools individually and with the way they are split up Magic Missile isn't even an option until 7th level. Another thing you might want to know about Midnight is that they've incorporated a system called "The Heroic Path" which is similar to the Bloodlines rules in Unearthed Arcana except you don't have to pay for your bloodline with character levels. Each person can pick a Heroic Path and every level they gain some nice little ability which most of the time isn't all that dramatic but it is supposed to represent that "extra something" that makes the PCs the heroes of the campaign. What makes me really like Midnight is that there are no Uber-NPCs around to save the day... it is all up to the PCs. There is no Elminster or Mordenkainen as all heros like that have been rounded up and slain or have gone into hiding and have no interest in making themselves a target again. [/QUOTE]
