[QUOTE="Daniel Runge, post: 6275144, member: 6775372"] Our initial idea was actually very close to that, we did not however know that it was called a racial paragon class, this might still be relevant to us. I like it, and we might just return to that idea now that we have some reference material, but I feel like it doesn't quite capture the spirit of my character. My whole background and work so far would have to be redone. Cenceptual struggles: 1. Can't really be a paragon of your race as a half-sen'garak can you? Then again, looking at the Half-elf spell Paragon Surge this might just be possible, maybe even the right way to do it. 2. If my character has received training to be an assassin or spy, that translates sort of into experience in a class (rogue), and repurposing his old training on his new path is the same, but experience as a monk. Mechanical struggles: 3. While it is obvious that there is only 1 class to be balanced as a racial paragon, balancing a progression of 20 levels seems to be a more daunting task than most other aspects of the game I can think of at the time of writing. 4. Say we went ahead and created one such paragon race. While it is technically possible, is there any prevalence for archtypes amogst them? A relevant example could be: Standard Sen'garak, and an archtype(lack of better word) called Jumping Sen'garak? Standard has poison and webs, while jumping has jumping power or some sort fx. Or would this be strange? I mean, a racial paragon by the definition seems to be what we might call a Super-human - embracing all that is human and being better at it than all others. Also, I can't seem to find anything related to Spiderwalk, only Spiderclimb, but the way you wrote it made it seem quite different. Going to work on a basis for a racial paragon class nonetheless, might still be relevant someday for his world. Thank you. Pinqh [/QUOTE]
