[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 1328002, member: 463"] I've never been happy with 3e's ultra-crappy Commoner class. I've decided to replace it with a Tradesman class that also subsumes the Expert class. It's based on the 1e DMG's division of 0-level NPCs into sedentary, active & labouring, with inspiration from Masque of the Red Death's Tradesman class and d20 Call of Cthulu's Offensive/Defensive character split. TRADESMAN & EXPERT The Tradesman class replaces the Commoner for most purposes. The Expert is a subset of Tradesman. TRADESMAN Hit Die: d4 (sedentary), d6 (active), or d8 (labouring). Skill Points at 1st Level: x4 standard per-level. Skill Points at Each Level: d4 hit die (Sedentary): 8 + Int modifier. The Tradesman can choose any twelve skills to be class skills. d6 hit die (Active): 6 + Int modifier. The Tradesman can choose any ten skills to be class skills. d8 hit die (Labouring): 4 + Int modifier. The Tradesman can choose any eight skills to be class skills. Saving Throws & Base Attack Bonus The Tradesman can choose any one Save to be his good save, based on his profession - eg Fortitude for a miner, Reflex for a thief, Will for a priest. In this case they use the good (3/4) Base Attack Bonus. The Tradesman may alternatively opt to have two good saves, in which case they use the poor Base Attack Bonus (1/2).
