In modern, the classes are based on what skill set
best represents the overall character. That is then modified by Starting
Occupation, which represents the job that the character had before
starting their adventuring carreer. The key difference is that instead of
class defining the character, the character defines the classes that are
selected. -------------------- |

I like both approaches, myself. The problem is,
without adding a new Basic Class, you won't have anyone channeling till
4th level. -------------------- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this rant's

lol but that assumes that you have to have a 7th
ability, which messes with point-buy systems and throws balance to the
highlands, granting you a dump stat if you never wish to channel. it's
useless without channeling ability. What's a fighter gonna do with a POW
score of 18 if he never wishes to channel, but that's what the dice say?

Well, it was written with a 7th stat in mind, but can
be altered to reflect the standard 6 stat as well. It really doesn't affect point buy as much as most people think. All that needs to be done is add 8 points to the standard for PB and require a minimum score of 8 in each ability As for rolling...well, that's just the way it goes. I did include checks and balances for characters who don't take channeling classes, so it is actually fairly well balanced. If a fighter type rolls an 18 for his Power score and takes no channeling classes, then all channeling that would occur because of being born with the spark would be the under GM's control, which provides an excelent RP device. -------------------- |

What I like about this system is that class
represents solely occupation. A Warrior can make his primary stat charisma
if he wants, provided he can have a good reason for it (he's a born
leader) or wisdom or intelligence (a strategist) The only class that has a
key stat is Caster, who needs Int. and/or Wis. to cast, even there is
substantial leeway as to which is preferred. (Int allowing a small no. of
strong spells, Wis a large number of weaker) I think this allows the
player to determine exactly how his character will develop and define his
own class, instead of the class defining him.

Actually, Expert really needs mental stats and
Dexterity to get by, due to the emphasis on skills the class has. but
yeah, I'm actually agreeing with Axel here, and implementing generic
classes in my game. Prestige Classes are left alone, of course.
