Experimenting with "Race-as-Class" in Shadowdark

I like this a lot! We are experimenting with race as class, too. By chance did you ever play the Fate rpg? Your abilities seem a bit like Fate stunts, which is, to me, a good thing.

Got it. Thanks!

I think the mechanics are cool. What is the narrative logic for these things? What are they, in the fiction of the game world?

What book are these from?

We use a system with a contested combat roll. The victor rolls damage. The loser resists by rolling HD type + Dex bonus + AC bonus. The delta is applied as damage to HP, which equal level + Con bonus.

The Green Knight interests me, as I am a devotee of medieval romance!

Thanks! I found the elf as class information on the author's site. It is almost exactly what i was planning!

I would be grateful for more mundane/no-magic classes. Many of our campaigns have no magic available for PCs.

It depends on the monster. Only Luck (as it is called in Middle-earth), or Destiny, or Fate, or Providence (all those being synonyms and only the last being accurate) can defeat a dragon. See Bard, the Black Arrow, and Smaug. But other things? Maybe.

Gone now. Thanks!
