I'd prefer only 1 genre for this please, this is confusing enough for me. XD I do have all week to figure this out though.

...what 'classes' do we have right now?

[kj1225]

I was intending to try and get the most ridiculous combination of Bowman and Beserker possible. So... something to spend those ninety points on.

The ones published in the DF books. Wizard, Knight, Thief, Barbarian, Cleric, Swashbuckler, Scout, Holy Warrior, Martial Artist, Bard, Druid, plus a few more from later books. And of course, you don't have to follow these templates, you can mix and match if you like.

Alright, you probably want to make a barbarian, except make sure to spend 50 points on the scout lens suggested for barbarians in DF3: Power-Ups, page 19.

What specialties would fall in line with the description of "Coffee Wizard"?

[RangerCado]

I mean what have people made so far? And how many points do we have to work with? 300?

[kj1225]

Could you describe the scout lens? I don't want to download that book to the computer I'm on right now. And I did add five points to strenghth and want to know whether I want to remove them or not.

Depends on what you mean by coffee. Does that mean buffs that help get people on their feet? If so, GURPS can do that, but first I need to tell you about the magic system- or rather, magic systems. GURPS has a plethora of systems to choose from, of which I am recommending you pick one of these two:

The default system has you take a number of levels of magery, which represents your innate magical ability, and then learn each spell as a skill. There are elaborate requirement trees, E.G. you need to learn "Create Fire" before you can learn "Fireball". You are limited to the lists of pre-written spells, unless we invent new ones which is a somewhat difficult process. This system also has a few balance issues with which I am well familair and can work around. This system is the easiest to use.

The other is Ritual Path Magic, which has you again take a number of levels of magery, which represents your innate magical ability, but then you learn nine Path Skills, and use these to cast magic. It has detailed instructions for turning anything you think of into a spell, so you can invent a new spell at the drop of a hat. It's spellcasting takes a while though, unless you either prepare your spells ahead of time or take advantages specifically to work around that. I like this system, personally, but it's not for everyone.

We have a Barbarian/ Archer, a thief, and perhaps a coffee wizard. You have 250 points to work with.

So... is it like an advantage and I add it to the list before adding the relevant skills or is it like a template I add?

Well, change of plans. I love hardcore magic systems like that .

[Angle]

That's a template. You can go over it and add each item, or just pick over and add only the ones you want.

Also- Both immaterial and kj1225 have their skills slightly wrong. the R. lvl field is where you want to put the Relative Level of your skill. so if you have IQ 13 and traps 14, your R. lvl for traps is +1.

[kj1225]

Okay, this will take a while.

[Angle]

Also- Did you pay for that appearance? That doesn't come free, you know.

[kj1225]

Now I did, what the heroic archer advantage give?

[Remuthra]

Mad bow skills.

It lets you shoot faster. You can find the details on DF 1: Adventurers, page 14.
