Fantasy AGE Class Creation

[Eubani]

Could anyone point to a site that provides help for Class design for FA2 or provide pointers, I am looking at designing a Cleric and Ranger Class.

Fantasy AGE doesn't work like that. There are only 4 classes: Warrior, Mage, Rogue and Envoy.

Step one: Define the concept for the character.
Step two: Select the class that fits your character concept best.
Step three: Create the level 1 character by choosing skills, talents and one specialization that go with your character concept.

The ranger is a Warrior or a Rogue with the Hunter Specialization.

For the cleric, you can start with the Mage, the miracle worker specialization with Healing Arcana.

In Fantasy AGE, when you cast spells in armour you have to pay the Strain magic point extra cost - see page 114, Spell and Armour sidebar. Concepts like a cleric, a paladin or a ranger wearing armour must pay the Magic Point Strain cost every time they cast a spell. Mages can wear armour, like Gandalf, but have to pay the Strain cost.

This looks like what you want:

Pretty much what The Soloist said. Don't really think that there is need for a Ranger or a Cleric. However, there are optional rules for divine magic in the FA2 book: pg. 116-118.

Yeah, you can set up things so some Mages function similar to D&D clerics if you want, and I'm suspecting anything you wanted to do with a Ranger could be managed with at worst a custom Specialization for rogues and/or warriors.

As others have said, you just make variations on the 4 core classes to arive at what you want. F-Age (all AGE for that matter) inherits some of True20's DNA, with core classes being few and variable via player choices. Specializations and Talents are the way you tune a F-Age class. Talents in particular are fairly straight forward and it's not difficult to create your own, if necessary. New, custom Specializations are doable too, if you follow the format of existing ones as a template.
