Message: <blockquote data-quote="Set" data-source="post: 3282345" data-attributes="member: 41584">The Player's Guides for the Scarred Lands setting include brief notes as to where various PrCs would fit into the setting, and these can be checked over to see where these base classes would fit as well.The Players Guide to Fighters & Barbarians, for instance, mentions that Duelists would be at home in the southern settlements of Ghelspad, such as Fangsfall, Shelzar and Rahoch, as well as the lightly-armored and graceful-weaponed nobility of Vesh, and this would make a logical set of places for a Swashbuckler to come from.I'm not fond of the Knight, Swashbuckler or Hexblade.  The OA Samurai, tweaked to fit the setting, makes a much better Knight, IMO, the Swashbuckler doesn't really progress well, and the Hexblade just stinks.  The Duskblade is many times better as a one-class Gish than the Hexblade, as is the AU Mage Blade.  Even a UA 'Battle Sorcerer' might end up being a better choice, in the long run, progressing into Abjurant Champion or something...(Blah-blah, add IMO to the end of every sentence.  I'm sure someone out there who loves the Hexblade is right now burning me in effigy for failing to recognize the greatness of the class.  I'd rather play a Bard, personally, if I wanted to suck at both melee and casting, 'cause Bards have cooler peripheral abilities and betters skills than Hexblades...)The Dread Necromancer is an amazingly awesome NPC Big Bad, although it can be a bit of a nuisance to allow as a PC (if you don't mind the player having minions, and how they can slow down the combat, then no worries).  The Warlock is the least versatile caster ever, but makes a blaster-Sorcerer cry with the sheer endurance of his never-ending supply of Eldritch Blasts.  The Dread Necromancer in particular would fit well into a Scarred Lands setting, due to the settings heavy use of Necromancy in general (between Hallowfaust, Glivid-Autel, Duhnanae, the Empire of Chains, the Mourning Marsh, Blood Bayou and any other places that have a large number of Necromancers).I know nothing about the Oathbound or Dawnforge settings, so I don't really have any advice for those areas.  As for Planescape, it's like Spelljammer.  *Anything* can fit into a Planescape setting.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
