[DT] Pools of Radiance (for now)

[Oedipussy Rex]

Race and Class

I'm going to go with a fantasy setting here, although I think the system could easily port to other genres like post-apocalyptic dystopias, space opera, or teen romance.

So, six Races:

Code:

Race   Health        Restrictions
Human     2
Dwarf     2     Brawn>18, Finesse<30
Elf       1     Brawn<26, Finesse>20
Gnome     1     Brawn<19, Fortune>25,
Orc       3     Brawn>25, Knowledge<25
Radiant   3     Brawn, Intellect, Finesse>26

And Eight Classes:

Code:

Class    Health      Minimums             %
Schmuck     0                            100%
Sorcerer    1   Intellect>22             50%
Warrior     3   Brawn>22                 50%
Adventurer  2   Finesse>22               50%
Mystic      1   Intellect, Finesse>24    13%
Crusader    3   Brawn, Intellect>24      13%
Scout       2   Brawn, Finesse>24        13%
Radiant     3   All>26                    1%

Schmuck - Cannot cast spells, the costs for Talents and weapons is increased by 1
Sorcerer - Can only use 1st and 2nd Rank weapons, cost for Weapons/Talents is increased by 1 and pools are limited to 6/9 dice
Warrior - Cannot cast spells, cost for purchasing Talents is increased by 1
Adventurer - Can know only two spells, which cost double to purchase, and can use only 1st through 3rd Rank weapons
Mystic - Limited to 1st and 2nd Rank weapons, weapon pools limited to 6 dice and cost double to purchase
Crusader - Costs for Talents increased by 1
Scout - Can know only two spells which cost double to purchase
Radiant - No limitations

Health: In this situation, Character Points are used to purchase Health, the amount received for each CP is dependent upon the character's Race and Class. A Human Warrior will receive 5 Health/CP, a Gnome Sorcerer gets 2, and an Elf Schmuck (redundant) gets only 1.

Radiants: Radiants are a separate Race/Class unto themselves. Many stories and rumors exist as to what they are and from where they come. They are all wrong and the Radiants aren't sharing.
