Campaign Design - Base Classes

This page is a list of all of the playable base classes in the Three Worlds campaign setting. If a class is not listed here, then it is not playable as a player class in the setting. This means that bard, paladins, and rangers, are not playable base classes in the campaign. For the purposes of the Three Worlds campaign setting, the descriptions and game rules presented here for the listed classes supersede any other versions that might be found in any other resource. Note that some of the classes have been changed, some in subtle ways. For example, duskblades now use Charisma rather than Intelligence as their primary spell casting ability, while shugenjas use Intelligence rather than Charisma as their primary spell casting ability.

Race Restricted Base Classes: Some classes are restricted by race. Every playable character race has an exclusive base class associated with that race. Only members of that race may take levels in that class. This list contains pretty much all of the "alternate" base classes from source materials that I own, although not all of them are affiliated with a particular race or bloodline yet. In some cases, the class will not be used at all - either it is duplicative of other classes, such as the Faith Caster which is too similar to the Favored Soul to be useful, or it relies upon mechanics not used in my campaigns, like the Psychic Thief - and in those cases these classes are listed here for completeness purposes.
