The approach I'm going for is perhaps closer to Capes, where you can mix two classes, then change one of the non-mechanical elements to customize. That is, admittedly, a little more freeform than some people can stomach, but it's open-ended, and it avoids the pitfall of thinking of new classes in terms of mechanics.Talysmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162328521343832412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-47020034373664813112012-10-04T08:09:25.660-07:002012-10-04T08:09:25.660-07:00I try to avoid promotion on blogs these days but I...I try to avoid promotion on blogs these days but I think the "Pie Piece" system from NGR might be a good set of ideas to look at for building mixed and even (if desired) random classes.Zzarchovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07714805545939725730noreply@blogger.com
