Byronic
First Post
I was wondering something, I have a setting idea which is heavily inspired by medieval Japan + Fantasy. I was wondering if the classes could be directly converted to more oriental styles just by changing their names and the descriptions of their powers or if they would require more work.
Paladin = Samurai
Cleric = Priest (basically the same except with new deities)
Rogue = Ninja
Ranger = Not sure. Perhaps split them into two classes (but only fluffwise), Archer and something else
Warlord = Strike Leader.
Warlock = A special kind of priest who's task it is to punish divine crimes. Probably "Inquisitor"
Fighter: Soldier/mercenary/something else
Wizard: Sage?
The names themselves aren't as important (although I would be grateful for suggestions), but can the classes simply be translated like that or do the powers need to be retooled?
