Creating a Class
Posted: Thu Apr 25, 2002 7:08 pm
I'm trying to create my own class just for fun, but I'm having some problems.
1) Teambg has blocked me for some reason and i cannot access the webpage.
2) I have no friggin clue how to do any of this stuff
Could someone give me a few rough pointers as to how to do this?
I've always loved the Dragoon class. I have a 3rd edition PnP write up for him, but I'm not too sure how to turn it into a BG kit/class. everything here is based on my personal character, who is part Gold Dragon, so he has to do with the fire element as opposed to any other (acid for green/bronze, air for silver, etc...)
Anyway, here's my class. It is being converted as I type from 3rd edition, so bare with me... I've never played PnP 2nd ed rules, so the THAC0 thing is still sorta strange to me, even after over a year of BG2
Class Name: Dragoon
(I'm actually writing a short story about my Dragoon character, but basically he's an elite warrior with a trace of dragon blood running through his veins, who befriends something akind to a psuedo-dragon) and later pledges his services to a full grown dragon)
Race: Mostly human, but around 5-10% dragon.. Effectively, a lengthened lifespan, heightened senses, infravison and some small draconic physical distinction (i.e. "strange" colored eyes, nothing like scales, teeth or wings)
Uses Fighter Hit Points, THAC0 (Has same to hit bonuses as a normal 3rd ed fighter, so I assume THAC0 would be same )
I'm not sure how to do saves for 2nd ed.. so I won't bother with that. Let's assume fighter or paladin)
Stats:
As for being partly draconic, the Dragoon gains +1 str, +1 con, +1 int (The dragon blood in my character is of a gold dragon..)
May Grand Master in Spears, only allowed to be ** in any other weapon. Starts with one * in Spear and Two Weapon Style.
Cannot use slings, bows or crossbows.
Gains +1 to hit and +1 damage for spears every 4 levels
Level 2 Gains Lay On Hands.
Level 8 May cast Improved Haste once per day. Add one casting per 4 levels.
Level 9 Gains resist fire as an always active ability.
Level 10 Gains ability to cast Sunfire once per day.
Special Item:
Dragon Blessed Ring:
The Dragoon can only get this ring from his patron dragon, and since the way to obtain it doesn't really matter in BG2.. I'll just list the effects.
Only usable by Dragoons (Stupid UAI... that really messes this up, thieves should NOT be able to use a Dragon's gift to a Dragoon!)
Permanent "Luck" when worn
User may cast Flame Arrow Once per day per level
User may cast Fireball once per day per every 4 levels
(Anyone know how to imbue a weapon with elemental damage? One ability my 3rd ed guy has is to have his spear imbued with + fire damage (since he is a golden..) )
