I remember you could categorize cliques by popularity and achievement orientation, so you got high status, high achievement (preppies, rich kids, etc.), low status, high achievement (nerds, geeks, etc.), high status, low achievement (cool kids), low status, low achievement (burnouts, druggies), and you can probably map that to clerics, mages, fighters, and thieves. (Of course who's high status is going to differ from high school to high school...) But the ecosystem's probably changed so much it's hard to say. Know any teenagers?In the absence of that you could load on mental traits (INT, WIS, CHA) to determine the cliques--status would of course primarily be determined by CHA and to a lesser extent WIS. Jocks would have high STR and CON, nerds high INT. I think they would all be low level given their youth, but even that offers a lot of possibilities. You're going to have to decide what to do about enchantments--it seems hard to believe a high schooler with access to Charm Person isn't going to try to use it, and Sleep or Hideous Laughter or even cantrips like Vicious Mockery or Minor Illusion could be useful. Similarly Disguise Self takes care of a lot of your personal presentation needs.</blockquote>
