[QUOTE="The Shadow, post: 5893030, member: 16760"] Drat, I forgot about the warlord. It kind of depends on how many unique abilities he ends up with - could be a theme, could be a class. [MENTION=6670763]Yora[/MENTION]: Which 8? True, but that cuts both ways. It advises against too many classes (option overload) as well as too few. Thinking it over some more, here's a list I think might work: Fighter (themed to ranger or barbarian) Rogue (themed to assassin) Priest (themed to cleric as well as lots of pantheon and domain options) Wizard (themed to specialties, though hopefully not advanced themes. And I do hope they get unique spells.) Paladin/Champion (I think the LG version should be the only 'paladin', but that other divine champions should be possible.) Druid Bard (though I'd prefer to see them more 'druidic' than 'sorcerer') Sorcerer (themed to warlock) Monk Possibly the Warlord. That's 10 classes, of which the bard and the warlord maybe aren't necessary. [/QUOTE]
