Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aldarc" data-source="post: 9768458" data-attributes="member: 5142">[USER=467]@Reynard[/USER], one of the fun things IMHO about Fabula Ultima is that joy of building your character. It's a bit like 3e/PF2 mulitclassing, though I would say that it's multiclassing done well. Characters have "classes," but these classes are more like thematic packages of abilities. You grab these abilities as you level, and not necessarily in a particular order. You master your class after 10 levels, and gain a heroic skill, but you can't progress any further in those classes after that point. You can have a max of three non-mastered classes.So let's create a party of starting characters. Starting characters start at 5th level and must take 2-3 classes.Markus, the Generic Game Hero Guardian (2 levels): Defensive Mastery 1, ProtectSpiritist (1 level): Spiritual Magic (Spell: Soul Weapon)Weaponmaster (2 levels): Breach, CounterattackOphelia, the Priestess of Light Orator (2 levels): Encourage, My Trust in YouSpiritist (3 levels): Spiritual Magic (Spells: Cleanse, Heal, Lux)Vera, the Gambling Gunslinger Entropist (2 levels): Entropic Magic (Spell: Gamble), Lucky SevenRogue (1 level): High SpeedSharpshooter (2 levels): Barrage, Ranged Weapon Mastery 1Garik, the Leaping Lancer Elementalist (2 levels): Elemental Magic (Spells: Soaring Strike, Elemental Weapon)Guardian (1 level): FortressWeapon Master (2 levels): Bladestorm, Melee Weapon Mastery 1Aldarus, the Black Mage Elementalist (3 levels): Elemental Magic (Spells: Fulgur, Glacies, Ignis)Entropist (1 level): Entropic Magic (Spell: Drain Spirit)Loremaster (1 level): InsightNotice that we definitely have overlap between characters. Several characters have levels in Spiritist, Elementalist, Guardian, Weaponmaster, and Entropist but with basically no overlap of abilities. But we have also created fairly different characters in terms of the sorts of things that they do.Classes in Fabula Ultima Core Rulebook (15): Arcanist (Summoner), Chimerist, Darkblade, Elementalist, Fury, Guardian, Loremaster, Orator, Rogue, Sharpshooter, Spiritist, Tinkerer, Wayfarer, WeaponmasterHigh Fantasy Atlas (4): Chanter, Commander, Dancer, SymbolistTechno Fantasy Atlas (3): Esper, Mutant, PilotNatural Fantasy Atlas (4): Floralist, Gourmet, Invoker, MerchantBonus Content (2): Ace of Cards, NecromancerYou do have to be careful about mixing content, especially across the Atlas materials, because they represent different genres and/or sub-genres.</blockquote>
