Found in "Magic of Faerun" not sure if it works with your system but my players love it.DukeofOrangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260658048434275236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-46161839315770463852010-06-20T08:57:37.420-07:002010-06-20T08:57:37.420-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.DukeofOrangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260658048434275236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-65043674813295526472010-02-08T08:47:27.293-08:002010-02-08T08:47:27.293-08:00Cool.

It features the inclusion of a 'talent' system I first developed long ago and have adjusted to my liking over the years.<br /><br />Characters can have Major, Medium and Minor talents. Spellcasting, for example, is a Major Talent of the Wizard Class. Turning Undead is a Major Talent of the Cleric Class. Weapon Expertise (very different in my game) is a Major Talent of the Fighter Class, etc.<br /><br />The talents are half way between a special ability, a feat and a power as seen in superhero rpgs. Player Characters can gain the Major Talents of classes other then their own as Medium or Minor talents. A Fighter, for example, can never have Spellcasting as a Major Talent but I certainly have Spellcasting Fighters. As time went on in the campaign, combinations have arisen such as...<br /><br />My ex-wife's Fighter/Magic User who can track like a Ranger (though not as good as our Ranger PCs).<br /><br />My buddy's pirate Bard who has the talent 'Swashbuckling' (as long as he does things in a flamboyant and overly dramatic fashion he recieves bonuses for the activity).<br /><br />Another friend's War Priest (what he calls his being a Fighter/Cleric) who focuses his Soul and Spiritual energy into his sword a la the 'Sword Saints' of Japanese myth, folklore and anime.<br /><br />Generally I am not a fan of classes for Fantasy gaming. Give me either a list of skills and abilities I can pick and choose to make my character or class-like packages I can adjust and customize. Again, stuff you find more often in supers games.Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-67564696565962034582010-02-07T21:28:27.220-08:002010-02-07T21:28:27.220-08:00Check out the Hexblade the whole cursing thing is ...Check out the Hexblade the whole cursing thing is in there and you can add a little dash of Bard because we all know witches and fairies can whip up a song or verse on the spot.<br /><br />They should also have an animal companion instead of a familiar (or if you are using that system combine both bonuses).<br /><br />Other than that i like the concept.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01948376221505302111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-67582710046675327712010-02-07T20:40:57.623-08:002010-02-07T20:40:57.623-08:00Oh, you're trying to HELP them.....Oh, you're trying to HELP them.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-78264645676694867292010-02-07T20:39:17.168-08:002010-02-07T20:39:17.168-08:00Re: Alchemist.
