Message: <blockquote data-quote="gamerprinter" data-source="post: 5072557" data-attributes="member: 50895">Iron Age Picto-Celts settingMy latest project with intentions of publication is an Iron Age Picto-Celtic setting. While much of the flavor and historical reference is Celtic, I'm really trying to develop a setting for Picts - those tattooed barbarian-ish fighters from Scotland.The setting is different from standard PF settings in one particular way - no written language, so no spell books, no magical tomes, etc.I am looking at creating several new classes, some just slight alterations from existing Pathfinder classes, but mostly the standard ones, including a Myrddin (tattoo wizard - spells cast through tattoos on Myrddin' body, otherwise standard wizard), Barbarian, Bard, Cavalier (maybe), Fighter, Oracle, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, Witch, possibly an Inquistor too.Why no Druid? IMHO, both 3.5 and Pathfinder Druids are shifters, not divine casters, and nothing like a Celtic Druid, so I am flavoring the Oracle to fit this role. Also no clerics, monks, nor paladins - as they don't really fit in a Pictish/Celtic setting.One thought on the Cavalier - Celts had charioteers as noted by the Romans in Britain, so a Cavalier class might fit as a Charioteer, though Celts were otherwise not known for cavalry (riding horses, yes, but not fighting on them.)Plus the PF Bestiary is woefully thin in Fey: only five types listed. So I plan to upgrade 3.5 Fey and add several new ones. Shooting for 25 to 50 Fey to include in the setting book.Also thinking of using Myrddin placed tattoos onto PC/NPCs to serves as magic armor and wondrous items - since the setting lacks a large number of magic items, compared to a standard PF setting.Another member at Paizo, Tejon, one of the top 32 Superstar contestants is possibly porting over an Iron Mage he is working on (something like a Hex Blade) into the project if it goes to publication.I've already got a complete campaign storyline idea planned. The Winter Hag is the goddess/queen of Fomorians, giants, ogres and hags and is mustering a winter host to invade the land of the Pictish clans, meanwhile she is preparing to invoke an ancient ritual to usher in a new Ice Age - when she was the dominating deity of the northlands and her worshippers ruled them, not humans.Anyway, only a week into development - it should be a fun project!GP</blockquote>
