[edit] Single Class Progression
[edit] Introduction
Single Class Progression is a replacer for the base 3.5E class system. In fact it bear a lot of likeness with the system of the 2nd and 1st editions. You can only progress in the class (or set of class) you chosen in the beginning. Goodbye optimization!
[edit] Rule
You can only advance in the class or set of class you established in the beginning. Except for prestige class see below.
[edit] Multiclassing
Despite it name, single class progression don't disallow multiclassing. It work a bit like Gestalt but with few difference.
[edit] Multiclassing Rule
- Hit Point Dice is a medium of both (or three) class and round up or down to the closest dice. (by example a Fighter/Wizard, (10 + 4) / 2 = 7 round up so 8) the final dice cannot exceed the double the lowest dice in the multiclass combo (someone with a wizard multiclass cannot exceed d8).
- 30% XP penalty for any multiclass, you must pursue two path after all.
- Retain most the penalties (such as Wizard lack of armor).
- Alway use best saves.
- Skills same for hit points.
[edit] Triple Multiclassing
Same as base multiclassing but:
- XP penalty increase to 50%, making level up twice longer.
[edit] Class Limitation
Some class have difficulties multiclassing, due to focus or other factor.
Those class are from LoD Campaign Setting.
- Assassin: (weak)
- Adept: (weak)
- Arcanist: (weak)
- Barbarian: (strong)
- Monk: (none)
- Ranger: (weak)
- Rogue: (strong)
- Theurgist: (weak)
- Warlock: (strong)
- Warrior (strong)
Strong multiclassing: can multi class with strong and weak. Weak multiclassing: can only multiclass with strong. None: can't multiclass.
[edit] Prestige Class
Prestige class are the only exception to the rule. Prestige classes uses a special set of rules:
- Prestige class can only be taken at level 10
- Prestige Class take the place of the base class and you can never return to the base class (but you still retain your former class level, by example: lvl 10 Warrior, lvl 1 Paladin).
- You can only have one prestige class.
- In multiclass, the prestige class replace one class, but this class must be associated with the prestige class (warrior → paladin but no arcanist → paladin).
