Seiken Densetsu d20 Collab Thread (Help Welcome!)

[Lotus]

Yeah, I know that feeling.

[Duran]

From the looks of your screens, it doesnt look too hard...

[Duran]

I really need to bump this thread, if its okay...

I havent been able to add much due to school work, but Im still working on it...

[Sheexy]

Glad to hear you are still working on this, I was wondering about it.
We need to get Deques working on the fan stuff section for Seikens.

[Duran]

I still need to bug a friend of mine for his character sheet tempkale...

Either that, or make my own...

[Duran]

Quick question:

Im still toying with the idea of a class change/upgrade system similar to SwoM...I know how I can make it work, but it would be a bit limiting for characters. Im not sure what to do, so I'll see if I can get you guys' feedback on it.

[Lotus]

Well, what is your idea?

[Duran]

If you've ever played SwoM, then you'll know what Im talking about:

Basically, the player only gets one of 6 basic classes to start with. From then on, they're free to level up any of those six classes. They're free to multi-class and combine different ones together. If they reach a certain requirement, they get a class upgrade.

Ex. Player levels up Warrior to X level. Warrior then levels up Sage to X level. Player becomes a Paladin. etc.

[Lotus]

That is how I would do it. Basically they meet the prerequisites for a Prestige Class, the only thing I would change is make it voluntary. So if they meet the requirements for the Paladin, but want to become a Cleric, let them bypass Paladin and become a Cleric when the meet the requirements.

[Duran]

Keep in mind Cleric is a basic class (Sage). Im going by SwoM classes. I know some players won't like it very much, seeing as it'll limit what they want to do. Thats pretty much my dillema...

[Lotus]

Sorry, just picked a class off the top of my head, didn't reference anything.

I fail to understand how this is limiting though? I mean D&D was far more limited.

[Duran]

Put it this way:

D&D, you're given up to 11 base classes and entire books of prestige classes...I don't see how that is limiting.

With my game, it would be 6 classes with 2 prestige classes for each base class...

[Lotus]

Eh, I suppose that's true, but with all the limitations you get in D&D you can rarely get anywhere with your character. You spend all your characters stuff aiming towards one goal, and usually when you get there, you realize that the Prestige you were working for isn't worth it anymore. At least with this you can simply start taking new classes and probably easily reach a different goal.

[Duran]

Well not in this case...like with Mana's class system, theres no reverting back, plus you only get two real choices for your presieges. I know Im adding a couple race-specific presteige classes to add a bit more variety.

[Duran]

Right now, Im currently working on a a template for a character sheet...
