Message: <blockquote data-quote="gamerprinter" data-source="post: 5259414" data-attributes="member: 50895">Scout (rogue) classSince I want to stay Core as much as possible, the Rogue conversion has been the easiest so far. First I'm calling her the 'scout', as she is less a rogue or thief so much as a wilderness stealth martial class. Flavor-wise its notable that she does not serve a rogues guild, rather her clan. Urban settings are mostly missing from the setting, except perhaps the Etruscan city-states region. Trapfinding and Trapsense, one available talent to be replaced, and one bonus skill focus, that's the only differences. Trapfinding and trapsense are replaced with snarefinding and snaresense, as well as any talent with the word trap is changed to snare (ie: trap spotter). Mechanical traps are simply unheard of yet in the settings cultures, while pit traps, pully weighted ropes for deadfall traps, shutting cages, pendulum of barbs all constructed from rope, rocks, logs, covering in debris, etc. exist. Since trapfinding is probably a more complex talent than snarefinding, as well as disabling trap/snares - the snare finding skill is useful in setting snares, taking the same amount of time to disable a snare as setting one. 1st level Bonus skill focus: Craft (snare) - allows you to quickly hew logs, cut notches, place roped triggers, or prepare pit traps and other wilderness snares. Once pieces of the snare are in place, the time it takes to set a snare is the same as disabling a snare with the Scout's snarefinding ability (using the same rules for trapfinding.) Ledgewalker is pretty much useless as most buildings are single story roundhouses with thatched or beehive fitted stone roofs. Some broch towers exist at 40' to 60', and some halls are two or three stories tall, but these are one per community at the most. Climbing buildings is not an issue in the setting. Trees on the otherhand are everywhere, can be used to hide from pursuers, as an observation platform, a defensive position, a place to prepare an ambush or a missle platform. Ledgewalker should be replaced with Brachiation, allowing you to grasp branches above you and swing by your arms from branch to branch. With a successful Acrobatics check you can throw yourself to more distant branches or branches above those you currently hang from, or you can swing yourself onto your feet above the branch you hang from. Comments? GP</blockquote>
