[QUOTE="mellored, post: 7378865, member: 6801209"] That's more or less had, though in a different order. 1: Race + background + non-combat abilities. Levels separately from the other options, though may have some prerequisites. (i.e. finding food might require a level of ranger. Or charm person require arcane spell slots). 2: How do you do stuff (power source). Gives simple abilities useful abilities and baseline proficiencies for the other options. Can be taken multiple times to make a simple generalist character. (level 1 spells and manuvers) Martial -> You gain +X to fighting. Divine -> You can channel divinity Y times, which you recover during a short rest. Arcane -> You gain X arcane slots which you fill during a long rest. Psion -> You gain X psi points, and recharge some other way. 3: What you do with that power (base class). More focuses than the general option above. Modestly complex features (level 2 spells and maneuvers). Fighter (Marital): +offense. Defender (Martial): +defense. Sorcerer (Divine): +offense. Cleric (Divine): +defense. Evoker (Arcane): +offense. Aburation (Arcane): +defense. Bonus: Advanced options (paragon class) = Combos or further specializations of different base classes. With more complex and finicky features (level 3+ spells and maneuvers). Pyromancer (Evoker): +Fireball and firewall. Artificer (Transmutation, Abjuration, Enchantment): +enchanting items. Beastmaster (Ranger, Druid): +fight with animals. Paladin (Fighter, Cleric): +aura's Warlord (Bard, Fighter): +grant attacks [/QUOTE]
