[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 2093465, member: 7635"] I'm still a fan of the Generic -> Advanced -> Prestige Route. Generic Classes: based on the UA model, but probably seperate the spellcaster into arcane/divine so we have four classes. You can customize Skill List, Good Saves, and scores of bonus feats/class abilities. Advanced Classes: 10 levels. These are your more refined ideas (monk, swashbuckler, beserker, bard, ranger, assassin.) These represent a focus in your particular area. Prestige Classes: 5 levels. Creme de le Creme. Requires usually some special initiation or unique training (archmage, purple dragon knight, Citadel Agent). For example; a character who wants to be a knight could start as a warrior and choose heavy armor prof, knightly weapons, and a mix of courtly and survival skills. At 5th level or so, he could become a cavalier and become adept at horsemanship, a paladin to gain divine power, or even stay a warrior and gain lots of combat feats. At 10th or more, he is invited to join the Knight Protectors, an elite order whom he admires. He now gains access to the elite secrets of the order. You could have expert/assassin/shadowdancers, mystic/druid/heirophants, sorcerer/necromancers/lords of the dead, warrior/sorcerer/spellsword/eldrich knight or mystic/sorcerer/mystic theurges to define your PC as you wish. even a level 20 warrior would be different from the others because of skill lists, saves and feats. Best of Both Worlds. [/QUOTE]
