[QUOTE="newxpress, post: 4024141, member: 59620"] To answer in as order as I can: Id like to keep the classes per the New Argonauts pdf. Partly out of flavor" and out of simplicity so all have the same access to the same stuff ( if that makes sense.) I know this gives fewer options as a standard game but the feats can allow for some customization- (hey im used to a more "high" fantasy game too). Secondly, roll per the DMG roll 4d6, drop the lowest. As for how Americanized, I view this as a fantasy setting like any other, albeit more low powered. I am not trying to recreate the Illiad or stick to historic Greece. Im not trying to go over the top ala Xena, but I will try to appeal to the sensibility of a modern audience. No need to be a scholar or afficianado of mythic Greece, society, politics or any of all that.. The game is based on [I]mythic[/I] Greece which gives us an open, shared and somewhat familiar background in which to work. Its a place of sophisticated cities, sparsely populated countrysides-a setting (if you will allow) of a few points of light in a dark world. The Hellenes of this world probably worry more about centaurs, Amazons and the mysteries of Hyperborea than Persia, if you follow. For my part Im open to incorporating as much as your characters contribute into the "canon" of the setting, which I feel is appropriate given how many authors in ancient Greece contributed the old myths. This gives us alot of room to have fun in. [/QUOTE]
