WotC Dwarven Chanter

[sckeener]

WotC did a conversion of the Dwarven Chanter Kit.

Did anyone else after reading about the kit conversion hear this?

Hi Ho Hi Ho its off to work I go?

I think I remember reading a fantasy book when I was a teenager where real world gamers got shifted to an alternate fantasy world where they were their characters...one of the players taught the local dwarves the Snow White song.

Anyway...any thoughts on the kit conversion?

These were originally ways to work around the rules they had set up, no?

Looks viable to me, although the trance ability is a bit wonky.

I hated that art in 1993 and I hate it now.

Now, let's have a good riddlemaster, thespian, and gallant!

So many cool ideas in that Complete Bards book....

The "no demihuman bards" rule, you mean? Yeah. Pseudo-bards. And there were pseudo-paladins.

Racial class restrictions and level limits...man, that seems like a loooong time ago....

Thanks for shoring up my memory. I thought it was something like that. Not that it was necessary a good rule to begin with, of course.

Excellent - I'd like to see more such kits converted!

My only quibble is that Perform (Chanting) should be Perform (Singing), shouldn't it?

Wait, two quibbles: I think these kit conversions are limited enough that they could (and maybe should) be five levels at most.

I'd still like to see the gnome bard kit converted, whatever it was called. After that, I'd love to see the Gallant and then some of the flavorful ones from other books.

Gnome Professor, or somesuch. Gnomes were going through their tinker phase at that point.

Joel Rosenberg, Guardians of the Flame series, IIRC. Classic series.

Or maybe a combination of alternate class features and a five-level prestige class?

I'm all about sage-type characters, so I'd like to see that gnome professor, too.
