This replaces FIghter Bonus feats and normal feats. Feats cost various amounts of Excellency Points.10) Fighter Mastery Points become available eventually to allow the purchase of supernatural abilities. A sign that the campaign is going Epic.I'll probably do more work on this once I figure out the best way to shut down D&D's linear progression and replace it with a 'diminishing returns' progression.Anyway, Barbarians are created by taking a 'strong' Fighter package and combining it with a particular 'weak' Green(Instinctive) package. Rangers are created by combining a Strong Fighter package and a different Weak Green(Instinctive) package or a Weak Green(Studied) package, depending on the flavor of Ranger. Paladins combine a Strong Fighter package with a Weak Divine(Instinctive) package.-Albert</blockquote>
