[QUOTE="malladin, post: 3449682, member: 8230"] Hi folks, I've just started sorting out an Iron Heroes game. I've done some pre-gen characters and I'm pretty happy with how its working out so far, apart from a social character I fancied doing. Initially I thought the thief would be the obvious choice for a social style character, but on looking at the class there's a number of things I don't think particularly fit with what I was trying to achieve, so I made the character using the Man-at-Arms class instead, which worked out much better. My only problem is that he's just a bit too tough and doesn't quite have enough skill points for what I was wanting, so I got to thinking about a minor tweak to the class to make it even more versatile and enable me to get the extra skills I needed. The end result was an extra feature at first level: [B]Focus:[/B] At first level the Man-at-Arms chooses a focus for his character which alters some of his class features.
