[QUOTE="Insight, post: 5322238, member: 11437"] I thought it might be kinda fun to match up the WFRP starting careers with possible 4E classes. If we're going to run this as a "WFRP to 4E conversion", it might be interesting to pick a WFRP career that most closely models your 4E character. [sblock=WFRP Careers to 4E Classes] Note: These are just suggestions. Let me know if I've missed something obvious or if you have an alternate take on one of these. I've based the 4E class selections on what we [i]know[/i] is prohibited (Psionic and Shadow at this point). I'm not listing PHB3 classes, except the Runepriest (which has been discussed already). Agitator: Bard, Rogue (Cha), or Warlord (Cha) Apprentice Wizard: Sorcerer, Warlock, or Wizard Bailiff: Fighter or Warlord (any) (Paladin, maybe?) Barber-Surgeon: This one is kinda tough. Rogue (Cha) maybe? Warlord (Cha)? Boatman: Fighter or Rogue (any) Bodyguard: Fighter (any) (Paladin, maybe?) Bone Picker: Barbarian or Warden Bounty Hunter: Ranger or Rogue Burgher: Bard? Warlord (Int)?

There are places where you could certainly make an argument for these classes, but for the most part, I've left them out of the above. These are just the starting careers from the main WFRP book. There are quite a few more starting careers in other WFRP books. [/sblock] [ooc].... yes, I was bored[/ooc] [/QUOTE]
