Seeing as how there would not be a "multi class option" in Elf Quest any way. [/QUOTE]No multi-classing? Really, I see multi-classing being a lot heavier... I mean, Scouter is definitely not a fighter in the sense that Strongbow is, nor is Cutter, but they'd probably be modelled as having levels in Fighter nonetheless.Making magic into a feat system might make them too easy to take, IMO... The multi-class system seems to work exceptionally well with Elfquest and magic, IMO... Try to complement one shaping class with another, and you start running into XP penalties... Even buffing up a magic class with a fighting class is difficult... Unless it's your favored class (and favored class means a lot more in Elfquest: Wolf-Riders all do seem to have the same focused set of skills, as do Go-Backs, et cetera.)Further, I'd keep the magic of spell-casting classes fairly weak, with some decent Skills to balance it out (usually a slow BAB, however)... Magic shouldn't start being really useful until around fourth level, to discourage excessive magical multi-classing... Could be difficult to balance, however.Some favored class thoughts:Wolf-Riders: Ranger (definitely need a variant... TWF, Favored Enemy, and spells don't really fit the wolfriders, but the whole "Ranger" concept is ideal).Go-Backs: Fighter (easy <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )Sun Villagers: Something akin to Expert, as best as I can tellBird-Riders: Monk variant? Really tough to say...Dart's Riders: Fighter?Mountain Trolls: Fighter? Maybe Rogue?Frost Trolls: Barbarian?It's pretty tough to fit all this into a class system... Anyway, this could become a whole conversion project well before it could be a playable game. Maybe another thread should get started?[/QUOTE]
