We're in the middle of playtesting the new classes right now but I intend to put all the rules up on a webpage when we're through. I think I'm going to tap another poster (who also liked the rules) to help me out with the web design as his own website is very nice indeed.  I don't want to throw the whole kit and caboodle at you until I feel pretty solid about the total package. Give us a chance to finesse this stuff first and it'll be that much easier on you. Plus you'll have new and converted monsters, NPCs and items to play with as well. <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=":)" /> Right now everyone in our group is trying to get their two bits in on how how the revised classes should look - some want classes have specific core abilities as they do now while others want very open-ended classes with lists of class-specific feats/abilities in lieu of static abilities (more like Modern d20). We also want to have a look at the Conan RPG as well as Unearthed Arcana before we make any final design decisions. I showed the group Andy Collins' low magic fighter (which I'll repost here for those interested) and some like it's groove as well...  Andy Collins' Low Magic Fighter... "I'll share the full results next month in my campaign handout, but here it is in a nutshell: Fighters don't get (many) bonus feats; instead, they get a combat-related class feature at every even-numbered levels.1st, 8th, 16th: Weapon Focus with a group of related weapons.2nd: +2 initiative, +2 Will saves vs. fear ("Battle Hardened").3rd: Heavy Armor Proficiency (nobody gets it for free).4th, 12th, 20th: Weapon Specialization with a group of related weapons with which the fighter is focused.6th: Improved Critical with all weapons.10th, 14th, 18th: Bonus fighter feat as normal.The WF, WS, and IC abilities may not seem very exciting as class features until you realize that these feats *aren't available* in my game--thus, only fighters can become true "weapon masters."Eliminating WF from the game in particular makes low-level feat choices much more interesting."Thanks again! Our campaign will also go up on the website along with it's bestiary (which I'm working on now as a matter o' fact) but I've got reams of information to edit before it's ready for prime-time. Right now it's all about getting it into the computer and putting language to it that doesn't look like it was written by a 6 year old... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Cheers! A'koss.</blockquote>
