Re: Classes

[Peter Mardahl <peterm@soda.berkeley.edu>]

In regards to classes, I guess now is the time to bring up again
a proposal I made a long time ago.

What 'class' you are, and what bitmap you use, should be determined
by how you behave, not by how you start out.  (Except for extreme things
like wraiths, fireborns, and quetzalcoatl's.)

If you mostly kill things with magic, you're a spellcaster of some sort.
If with the sword, then you are a warrior.

Under present rules, this would eliminate clerics and thieves!

ninjas and some other classess could be regarded as mixes of spellcaster/
fighter, but.....


The game needs things for thieves to do, and clerics.  Hmm.  I'm
working on that...
