Alright, everybody! This is a thread where you throw out your ideas that you think will benefit the game, then the people who know more than you tell you why they're unbalancing, or too much work, or that they're already in the game. I'll go first. Why can't all races have access to all classes (with the expections of paladin/hellion/necro for race/alignment reasons). Why, for instance, is an elf not allowed to be a barabarian? |

Good point. How about an elf barbarian. |

The first thought that comes to mind is this. Barbarians are all muscle no brain -usually-. So an elf, being one of the smarter races, doesn't have the natural all muscle no brain ability required to be a good barbarian. A sprite barbarian would be a more extreme example, as a sprite barbarian would probably be the most worthless race/class combo ever, second only to a giant warlock. |

Sprite barbarian or mercenary would be broken because they'd be able to tank like mofos. |

Oh, right. Forgot the tank aspect. You're right. They would make excellent tanks. Think of the M1A1HA without any weapons and that's a sprite merc or barb. They would probably take a long time to level though. Lowest strength, and same max charisma as a human merc. The two main ways of gaining experience, damage done and bonuses from charisma, are effectively disabled. |

Best (not easiest) solution to this? Make heavy armor give dex penalties like it does in that tabletop game that shall not be named. |
