[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 4386995, member: 9646"] There is potential in it. I had written a long post yesterday, but then the browser crashed, and everything written was lost. I am too lazy to write it again. I will just summarize it: Idea sound interesting, but I would do that: 1) There is indeed three levels, but the 1st and 2nd are considered zero-level. So basic zero-level commoners have two such levels and that's all. These are low-powered class levels, with +1 to the good save, +0 BAB, number of skill-points (i.e.: 2, 4, 6, or 8), and 1 hit-die, either d4, d6, d8, or d10. There is something like d10 goes with 2 skill points, d8 with 4 skill points, etc. No feat, no special abilities. 2) 1st level of adventuring class (fighter, wizard, etc.) is added on top of these two, with the following changes: subtract 2 points from best save progression, skill-points are not multiplied, hit-points are rolled normally instead of maximum for the die. 3) The hit-points from the first two levels are physical/wound hit-points while the hit-points gained thereafter from the adventuring class levels, are considered vitality hit-points.
