Hey, I would like to start a discussion about classes in DO. While I am perfectly aware that anybody can make changes as she/he pleases, it would be good if some kind of joint effort/ consensus could be reached, because of compatibility issues.
The goal would be a modded classes.txt file that has a broad acceptance and can be used for mods.
Here are just some random thoughts/opinions:
* missile weapons: fighters should really be able to use any kind of weapons, especially bows/crossbows. Likewise I think Clerics and Druids should be able to use slings.
* hmm, I had some other point, but I forgot
LOL
* new classes: If we use a modded class file, we could introduce new classes. Dwarves and Elves come to mind without attaching any abilities, yet.
* New/tweaked abilities:...
This is just some food for thought. I'd like to hear any comments or suggestions. Just post what you think would be cool to have. We'll worry about possibilties to implement or (gasp) consensus later...
Have fun
,
Rollo
