Classes
The Lankhmar setting accomidates many diverse professions among adventurers. Unfortunately, many do not survive for very long besides the rogue and warrior. The following classes
are appropriate for a nehwon campaign:
Warriors
-
BARBARIAN – No changes.
-
FIGHTER – No changes.
-
HUNTER – The Hunter
is a specialist in locating, chasing, capturing, and slaying creatures, wherever they go.
-
MARSHAL – The Marshal
is the embodiment of order and tradition in Nehwon.
Arcanists
-
MAGE – A Wizard whose knowledge of supernatural phenomenon
leads to unique spellcasting abilities. The mage is most commonly refered to as a black wizard along with sorcerers (the primary difference is
that the MAGE remains an intelligence based class).
-
PRIEST – A nehwonian divine spellcaster.
Recomended for NPCs only.
-
SORCERER - Lose Knowledge: Arcana and Spellcraft as class skills. Gain Gather Information, Knowledge: the planes, and Use Magic Device as
class skills. Often refered to as a black wizard, though this label is incorrect.

of natural phenomenon leads to unique spellcasting abilities. It is recomended over the MONK class for ascetics and natural philosphers, though
monks still exist on Nehwon.

the world of Nehwon (and possible others) in search of knowledge, experience, adventure, and the unknown.

In addition, every class has a new class ablity for combat called DEFENSE. This is to reflect a more tactically
oriented combat system. See the COMBAT section for details.

Through the mazy avenues and alleys of the great
city of Lankhmar, Night was a-slink, though not yet
grown tall enough to whirl her black star-studded
cloak across the sky, which still showed pale,
towering wraiths of sunset. The hawkers of drugs and
strong drinks forbidden by day had not yet taken up
their bell-tinklings and thin, enticing cries. The
pleasure girls had not lit their red lanterns and s
auntered insolently forth. Bravos, desperadoes, procurers,
spies, pimps, conmen, and other malfeasors yawned and
rubbed drowsy sleep from eyes yet thick-lidded.
-- Fritz Leiber,
