But, will your weapon of choice be a foil, sword, pistol, musket, or bit ol' rusty tanker rig?

I wish the original image I'd gotten was larger or better quality. Use the "larger image" link to see it a little better

I just rolled a 73: Techno-mancer! Now we can play Traveler

are for "urban adventuring." People that would spend their whole lives in cities, doing research (such as with an Arcanist or Channeler) while others would go more for the intrigue methods, such as a Diplomat, Spy, Stalker, Philanderer, and Poisoner.

Imagine an adventure that takes place in a setting where you don't expect danger around every dungeon corner, yet is just as dangerous in an insidious way

passive fighter, low defense, inflicts massive amounts of damage with a variety of traps and mines, usually high agility allowing them to kite enemies into those traps.

Basically, you plant traps that will kill your enemies, then you razz them until they chase you into the trap and die. But you suck in actual combat.

But would think a Shadowmancer could be pretty cool. Kill with shadows, use them like portals, hide a whole party in daylight, so long as there's something to cast a shadow (otherwise a big shadow on open ground would be conspicuous)

I wouldn't equate a cleric with a mage. Two different fields, even if both use a power of some sort. I guess that's how the maker of this triangle thought of them. So, make it a square or a diamond with mage and cleric at opposite points and rogue and fighter on opposite points, too. That would be a better blending.

Now I was wondering earlier if a cleric can still successfully heal an atheist adventurer (not the person playing, but their character.) Because now you've got disbelief and belief fighting against each other. Does the non-believer have to make a dis-believe roll on whether they get healed or not?

My favorite ad&d character I played was a dual wield 'swashbuckler rogue'. Cyric Swiftsabre. Good times.

But the last time I did was in some other system where I got to play a centaur-fighter, and she was married to my other character, a shape-shifting Arabic druid. Fun times!

Roll a couple of d20s and add them up. That way, you'll remain clear of most choices for Mage and Rogue. Anything that's a desk-job (like Strategist) just ignore and roll again. Double-aughts can be either a forty (Ninja), or 00 which is Warrior. Either one is a winner!
