This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Majestic Wilderlands: Demi-human level limits? Other Ideas?

Quote from: RPGPundit;387063I don't like the idea of having to turn humans into SuperHumans just so that they are balanced with the rest.

I do like the idea of XP bonuses; my original thought after level limits had been to impose XP penalties to the demihumans.

I think the solution I'll actually apply is a combination of the above:
1. Humans get a +5% bonus to XP above and beyond their prime requisite if any
2. Demi-humans get a set of preferred classes, where those classes get normal xp; any other class (except berserker) is viable for them to take, but they do so at a -10%XP penalty.

Back in my old AD&D games, I ran a 10% penalty with a demi-human race running a character class that they were suposedly prohibited from, and another 10% when they passed the level limit in the PHB.

Quote from: Rubio;387091Out of curiosity, how do you mean to implement MW ideas and classes with RC where there's no "Dwarf Fighting-man", there's just "Dwarf" (or Dwarf cleric if you're using whatever Gaz the Rockhome supplement was)

The same way MW handles it; it says that instead of using race as class, it has races, with their modifiers, and that each race picks a given class.

"Dwarves aren't wizards" is a modern invention, anyway.
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

Also, one can easily anticipate problems if one has a regular gaming group that's been going on for years.
