Women would have been at the most commoners with a few skills thrown in (craft sewing, ettiquette, and the like)... disclaimer: not meant to be any sort of commentary on women rights or lack there of historically.In japanese culture the samurai makes a good base to start from, although there were also non-military officials who had significant power. I would probably just base them off of bards or rogues with different class skill sets, focusing mainly on communication skills, ettiquette, languages, calligraphy, and the like instead of Open locks & trap skills.Greek style nobility would be either military based or the 'enlightened thinker' type.Viking nobility might very well be a barbarian warrior type.Middle-eastern based cultures would have very different models to work from, but I am lacking insight in that area.IMO it may be better suited to have nobles be simply a leveled class in whatever the setting/culture is normal, with a template that adds or modifies class skills and/or special abilties in subtle ways to reflect the additional powers and backgrounds that the noble may have access to.I don't guess that helps much with your class posted above, and it really all depends on your campaign setting and the cultures there.</blockquote>
