8.4

Integrates ideas from that other wiki into this system:

• Class-specific feats like Green Thumb, Barkskin, etc

Eliminates 2 powers learned per level, in favor of System 6 style "know everything". Specifically:

• Base class spell lists trimmed down to the essentials
• Path allows deeper mastery of schools

Ability structure:

• If multiclassing exists, then classes must grant abilities at least once/level, if not more often.
  • Alternatively, multiclassing could be limited to blocks of more than one level at a time, but that's kinda weird
• One/level is fine at low level, but leads to bloat
• One solution: higher-rank abilities cost more than 1 ability slot (which are class-specific btw)

Example: the Paladin

• Fighters gain 1 manuever/level, which are general martial abilities like Power Attack and Cleave
• They also gain 1 talent/level, which can be purely martial (like +crit, +hpow, Second Wind, Action Surge, etc), but can also be supernatural
• Paladin talents:
  • Smite: recharge 33%, melee augment, bonus holy damage.
  • Detect Evil
  • Lay on Hands: enc, swift, touch, heavy healing.
  • Judgment: ?
  • Divine Shield (2): enc, reaction; invincible for 1 rd.
  • Divine Steed (2): summon a cool horse
  • Consecration (2): aoe
  • Holy Light (2): build up charges of holy light, which can heal or damage enemies

Example: Death Knight

• Death Grip: r33 sw; pull
• Contagion
• Runeforge: inscribe runes on your sword that can heal you on strike, freeze your enemies, or cause necrotic damage
• Revenant (2): undead servant (corpse of enemy or ally, or even self)
• Relentless (2): resist fear, forced movement, etc
• Summon Deathcharger (2): evil horse
• Harvest Soul (2)
• Army of the Dead (3)
