When my young adventurer enters the campaign he has specific goals and life plans that he wants to accomplish. But at each level increase I look back at what skills he's used the most, what kind of adventures he's been on, and make a descision based on those as to where I'll go from there.Example: In the world of Arcanis there is a romanesque empire and instead of the NPC class Aristocrat, there is a Patrician PC base class that focuses on skills and influence. My Patrician PC is also a former member of the Legion of the Triumphant Rays of the Invincible Sun. When his adventuring career began he found himself relying on marital prowess far more than anything else, so he ended up with only 2 levels of Patrician and then 3 levels of Fighter.Then came the Battle at Empebyn. Here he faced a foe of psionic might and was near death while many comrades left for Beltine's Couldren. He vowed to never be so vulnerable to powers of the mind again, and since he didn't have the ability to weild psionics himself, he dove into the field of arcane wizardry, looking for a magical edge to stand against such foes in the future.He currently has 3 levels in Wizard and is working towards a PrC, Via Proeliatoris (Path of the Warrior). Since beginning his arcane studies he's found himself in conflict with Unbound Infernal for the most part. Will he look for a way to specialize in defeating this imminent threat of evil and abandon plans for entering Via Proeliatoris? It could very well happen.I choose skills, feats and classes as organically as possible, depending on what has transpired over the last few adventures. I've met people who have planned out every skill, feat, stat-bump and PrC from levels 1-20. They enjoy what they play, and it must make leveling up easier than it is for me.</blockquote>
