[QUOTE="Byrons_Ghost, post: 2394117, member: 7396"] I'd thought about this too, actually. My take on it was that the Experts would be more of the "doers", those that use applied knowledge, and the last class would be more intellectual. I'd also thought of keeping Expert as is, and having a third class called "The Talent", which would basically be someone who excels at a single thing instead of the Expert, which would be more of a Jack of all Trades type. Really, in a way, the Warrior and the Adept are both already classes who excel at a single thing- combat or magic. I never really thought of a way to implement the class, though. The main thing is that the technologist or talent, or whatever, will presumably be the class with the lowest BAB, and will have to get some pretty cool stuff to compensate. I don't like the idea of giving a class a low BAB "just because it makes sense." I'll be the first to agree that scientists probably shouldn't be sharpshooters, but they have to be able to do something. Wizards get magic in place of BAB, so their modern counterparts should get something similar. Before D20 modern, there were a lot of Modern-ish games that had intellectual classes with low BAB and no real abilities to compensate, and I can't see how these classes were thought to be remotely playable...
