“Ray, when someone asks if you’re a god, you say YES.” Ghostbusters (1984)
I backed the BCK&HFH Kickstarter as a “Patron Deity”. However, I have four ideas for one class selection to be included in one of the books – two ideas for BCK, and two ideas for HFH. Help me make my selection through your comments and/or propose an alternative to my four ideas. My goals for a new class, and its supporting mechanics, are to expand the reach and applicability of ACKS to areas that might not otherwise be covered well. Also, I look for topics that might best be officially addressed by the Autarchs.
BCK
(Human) Offworlder
A “two-fisted” human warrior, physically gifted by having been born on a higher gravity world. On the surface, this likely requires an alternative human race-as-class, which would be out of scope of a class, but I have an idea … Maybe you have ideas as well?
Bugman “Noble”
A four-armed warrior bugman, desired by me in part to enable homebrewed Thri-kreen or Greenmen of Mars classes to be built by the community.
HFH
“Heroic Gnome” (name to be determined)
A class inspired by legendary fey, both wonderful and dangerous. Perhaps using spell-like powers which cause corruption, i.e. temporary invisibility for a corruption point. As a matter of life and death, such fey would prefer to remain isolated from mortals, avoid using their spell-like abilities and remove any accumulated corruption.
Halfling Scholar
My homage to Bilbo, who was neither an adventurer nor a burglar, but was considered noteworthy for his knowledge of language and history. Indirectly, an homage to Professor Tolkien himself.
