[QUOTE="Cynlas, post: 2732404, member: 34699"] Kewl Beans. I also like the ability for this class to attact magic away from other targets that you mentioned, really makes it the defender class it is in the vgs. Sounds like this class will actually pull off what certian 3e PrCs were trying to accomplish. Also, the "reduced" HP isn't really so bad when you consider its the equivalent of a 1/2 level figther. in the long run, the "converted" hp will end up being a lot higher than a rolled HP of a 3e fighter, assuming that the Knight will earn 5 HP per level... Are you using a similar mechanic for all the classes, so that, for example, a Black Mage would earn 2 HP per level (1/2 static down of D4), or is it less strictly based on 3E than a true cross corelation? Given the sheer number of classes, and your "heavy HP" class is set at "5", then there doesn't seem to be much "room" for a wide variety of HP. Is this one of the class features, then, that will not be earned at each level-up? Another "side" question regarding thoughts on BAB; in the FF VGs, White Mages fought (pysically) about as well as their Black counterparts, which is quite unlike the DnD assumption of warrior-preists who are better than scholastics (mages), but not quite up to par with warriors, giving them a mid-range attack ability. Are you going to follow the D20 assumption, or stick to the more appropriate (imho anyway) "poor" bab system for the White Mages (or like UA's variant cloistered cleric)? Well, thats all for the moment, have other stuff to accomplish before wife gets home. [/QUOTE]
