[QUOTE="TrippyHippy, post: 5987155, member: 27252"] My way of thinking is slightly in line with the notion pushed with D20 Modern (remember that!?) of having broad classes (i.e. classifications of character types) associated with primary Ability scores. So, as a way of illustrating: Strength - Fighters (with a focus on martial prowess from any culture) Dexterity - Rogues (Thieves, Assassins and Treasure seekers) Constitution - Rangers (focused on the survivalist/traveller archetype) Intelligence - Mages (customisable to a variety of schools, traditions and styles) Wisdom - Clerics (a variety of pantheons and beliefs) Charisma - Bards (inspirational communicators of all cultures) Druids and Paladins could also be looked at as straight alternatives for Wisdom and Charisma respectively, as they are pretty iconic to D&D at least. There may be one or two other Classes that could be looked at, but I get bored of silly contrived 'Classes' that really aren't. Muchof the customisation could certainly be handled by Backgrounds and Themes - the Monk and Barbarian being primary examples. [/QUOTE]
