And yet another base class. Please take a look at it. I'd appreciate it if you would please give it a review and FOCUS on the MECHANICS of the class FIRSTLY. Any questions regarding its " on " Fluff or Flavor, please SAVE IT FOR LAST when the mechanics have been fixed. Then afterward I will gladly answer any questions but my primary concern is to make this class FUNCTION. Not making it palatable for people with certain mindsets or opinions about how they THINK the class or abilities should be NAMED. Thank You. That being said, here they are the Charlemagnes. I hope you like them and I can't wait for your technical reviews. :smallbiggrin:
Charlemagnes
Charlemagnes are born leaders granted sacred powers from their deity. They are gifted with divine abilities that both on and off the battlefield can be used to change the course of their state. Most are of noble birth though not restricted to such status. They are of great variety and are revered for their divine blessings. In battle they are often seen at the head of armies, leading warriors into the thicket of war. Others have been seen as Kings, and Queens. Some choose to play more reserved roles as advisors or ambassadors of kings or lords. There are those who act as governors of regions or mayors of cities. For those with no interest in politics, some act as priests or local healer for their city or town’s churches. And then there are some who are just local heroes of their towns; whatever the case Charlemagnes are respected and feared persons, honored for their goodness or hated for their wicked ways, To be a Charlemagne is to possess great power and with it, great responsibility.
Alignments: As Charlemagnes require a deity’s blessings, they can be of any religion. Those of good tend to follow the ways of Heironeous and Kord as both embody the ideals of honor and valor in combat. Those of Neutral good alignment often favor Pelor for he embodies healing and enlightenment. Purely neutral Charlemagnes often follow St. Cuthbert as he represents justice and since most Charlemagnes believe in the protection of their allies and people, he tends to be their ideal god. Evil Charlemagnes usually follow either Hextor for his pride of tyranny as many Charlemagnes with evil intent seek to dominate and rule their foes. Those that seek only to kill their enemies are quite often found to be followers of Nerull.
Backgrounds and Races: The most common of Charlemagnes are Half-Elves or Humans. Since both are quite the social type and predominant species in most locations, they tend to be the local heroes, priests, and leaders of their nations. Second to them are Elves, although many are strictly followers of Corellon or Ehlonna and for that reason rarely venture past their boundaries as they believe in protecting their own. Halfling Charlemanges are often blessed by Yondolla, and like Elves, remain amongst their people. Reason being, most Halflings find the responsibility of being a Charlemagne tedious and labor some and since most are quite lazy or distracted by quests for gold, there are very few such leaders. Gnomes are rarely if at all Charlemagnes mainly because they stick to their alchemy and prefer the endeavors of arcane magic to those of war. Dwarves are ideal Charlemagnes but due to their natural dullness, many are not at all respected. They are often overlooked by the Fighters of their clans. Lastly Half Orc’s natural homeliness and mental handicap prevent them from ever fully being a great Charlemagne, although there are some who have been proven to be wondrous leaders. However those have been few and far between.
Classes: Charlemagnes are not particularly prejudice about what classes they venture with but more so, with the alignments of their companions. Many will not venture with those entirely opposing their alignment for instance good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Some will, mainly to use said individuals to meet their ends but for the most part Charlemagnes prefer being surrounded by individuals they can trust and who in some form or manner hold the same beliefs as they.
