You asked for it, so here it comes. Announcing the sequel to Adventuring Classes: A Fistful of Denarii.
This is an open call for feedback on these class concepts. After I finish up some school stuff in the next few weeks, I'm prepping alpha versions of these classes for playtesting. I would like to know what sounds appealing, what doesn't, and what I may be missing. Particularly I want to know if there are archetypes related to adventuring in a non-dungeoncrawling context, like intrigue or exploration, that are not covered very well by existing options.
The list as it stands now:
BASE CLASSES
Assassin - Hired killer (as a base class; similar concepts have been done, is there a place for another?)
Athlete - Physical challenger, capable of astounding acts
Courtier - Expert of intrigue, wealth, and influence
Emissary - Master negotiator
Jongleur - Master of performance and feats of dexterity
Musketeer - Firearms wielder and skilled
PRESTIGE CLASSES
Sharpshooter - Expert of ranged combat with a talent for stealth
Temptress/Tempter - Uses the art of seduction to gain power over others
Trickster Adept - Fusion of roguish talents with casting talents
War Captain - Specializes in leading and directing others
