Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spatzimaus" data-source="post: 3468943" data-attributes="member: 3051">CHAPTER 4: Basic ClassesThis part's short.There are six Basic Classes, one for each of the six attributes.  They're based on the d20Modern classes, with some modifications for the medieval setting.  If you wanted to use a modern or futuristic setting, just use the d20Modern classes themselves.We've removed the class-based Defense Bonuses (they don't interact well with D&D's system of stacking magical AC bonuses), there are no "medium" saves, and we removed Action Points (but are intending to put them back in soon).Every character has to take a Basic Class level sooner or later, because it's impossible to enter a Prestige or Advanced class without one.  The first Basic Class you take becomes your "Primary" class, as detailed in Chapter 1.  The most important aspect of this is that Class skills for your Primary class, and those selected for your Racial levels, are ALWAYS class skills.All characters begin with Simple Weapon Proficiency, regardless of class (or even if they've only taken racial levels), as well as proficiency with any rays (including firearms) and natural weapons (including gauntlets, clawed gloves, etc.).  In our system there are only a half-dozen Martial Weapon Proficiencies (MWPs: Bladed, Hafted, Piercing, Blunt, Projectile, Thrown), so if a class is ever given "Martial Weapon Proficiency" it means they can select one additional category.  If a class is given "Novice Weapon Proficiency" it means they can select one category, as long as they didn't already have NWP from a previous class (to prevent multiclass abuses).Class skills for each class are just all the skills that key off that stat, plus Craft and Profession.  I won't bother listing them all.Each class follows the d20Modern progression: Talent at all odd levels, Feat at all even levels.  Unless someone asks for it specifically, I'm not going to list which bonus feats each class has access to or what the talents are.  It's not that hard to whip up your own list, and it'd probably work about as well.Strong Hero (STR)BAB: +1HD: d8Saves: FortitudeSkill Points: 2+INTArmor: HeavyNWP at 1, MWP at 3,7Fast Hero (DEX)BAB: +3/4HD: d8Saves: ReflexSkill Points: 6+INTArmor: LightNWP at 1, MWP at 7Tough Hero (CON)BAB: +3/4HD: d12Saves: FortitudeSkill Points: 2+INTArmor: Medium, ShieldNWP at 1, MWP at 7Smart Hero (INT)BAB: +1/2HD: d4Saves: WillSkill Points: 8+INTArmor: noneNWP at 5Dedicated Hero (WIS)BAB: +3/4HD: d6Saves: Fortitude, WillSkill Points: 4+INTArmor: Light, ShieldNWP at 3, MWP at 9Charismatic Hero (CHA)BAB: +1/2HD: d4Saves: Fortitude, ReflexSkill Points: 4+INTArmor: noneNWP at 5I should also note that MWP is on the list of Bonus Feats for both the Strong and Tough Hero classes, Exotic Weapon Proficiency is one of the Strong bonus feats, AND one of the Talents a Strong Hero can select gives either an MWP or an exotic proficiency.  In other words, someone who plays a tank-type character can very quickly become proficient with every weapon.Next up, the Advanced (magical) Classes, which were the point of doing this whole thing.</blockquote>
