I'm looking to run my own game, and I'll go into the changes to the system that I'll be making use of.I'm inclined to take a much more extreme approach than you seem to be in the class department.  Since I don't see Monks and Rangers and Barbarians and the like as fitting into the setting very well, I was going to use the Generic Classes option from Unearthed Arcana.To get the right feeling to the setting, and combat in particular, I've decided to use Ken Hood's 3.3 Grim and Gritty Hit Point system to bring combat away from the DnD paradigm and make it a more abrupt, scairy experience.  Hammerites should be fearsome, the Undead terrifying, and Pagan Creatures horrific, and to represent these ideas the GnG system is ideal. (Reduced HP, Class Bonus to AC, Armor = DR, Wound Penalties, Slowed Healing.)I don't think Magic should be (at least at the start of the game) within the capabilities of the PC's. To this end, I'm looking into making spellcasting classes into PrC's with different spell lists. I intend to use the Elements of Magic (revised) system in my game, but I have yet to make the PrC's game-ready....I call it Thief d20 for a reason- it's a far cry from standard DnD. However, I think the setting, themes and mood of the game are so different than DnD that you almost have to change the system to get a game that doesn't have mechanics that hamper the feel of the game. Hope I'm not coming on too strong, eheheh... Could you tell me what kind of Thief game you intend to run? I would love to see what your take of the setting is, and see how you'd work with the factions. If you'd like, I could email you a 5 level Keeper PrC I've been working on. If you want to talk about something specific, please ask- it's thrilling to see someone else take the initiative and talk about Thief.Have you played through Deadly Shadows yet?- Kemrian the Keeper Novice.</blockquote>
