Address the following issues:- Create a unique shtick (or find a unique niche).- A base class must be able to do something besides its unique shtick.- Remember: Fighter is about melee, Rogues excel at sneaking, traps and skill use, Rangers do Roguey stuff in woods and get nature-related supernatural abilities (and companions), Assassins kill bypassing hitpoints while making resurrection harder.- This is d20. Worry about magical protections, raise dead and divinations. Oh, and you need to bypass hitpoints.- This is d20, however spells do not solve all problems (i.e. adding spell levels won't resolve current issues).Two important thingies:- Unless it's NPC class, a player should enjoy playing it.- In case you achieve the above, make sure you haven't created Mary Sue.Regards,Ruemere</blockquote>
