Death Knight Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Ive always liked the classes system in Avadon, even if you dont get as much freedom as Avernum. But one thing Ive always wondered was what are the classes of the famous NPCs like Redbeard, Miranda, etc. Now I know they dont have classes but what class would they fit under if they were to correspond to one. Shadow Tarkus-Most definitely a Shadowwalker, his moves when fighting redbeard, his look. Redbeard-Really no idea, the only thing that might make some sense would be a blademaster due to his physical power. Miranda-Sorceress? Duke Griffin-? Those are just a few and this will change if Jeff ever decides to add new classes in the last or next Avadon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomizer Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Duke Griffin is nobility, which is a separate class from all the others. Just like the minor court figures aren't anything special. He doesn't have class powers., but derives everything from items. Miranda is closest to a Sorceress in her attacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dear Potato Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 As much as I like Avernum, I prefer fixed classes over the absolute freedom to build characters I wonder what class would fit in Redbeard's role... maybe a prestige class, a Blademaster with a lot of ranks (maybe..."Bladelord" or something xD), along with passive natural buffs and some minor magic. Something in the line of Epic characters and classes. By the way, I agree - Miranda is a Sorceress in my book. What I wonder is... Eye Leira? She seems the older one. Not sure if she says something about, but I'm curious. I like what Randomizer said about Duke Griffin; he is something like Hawthorne in Avernum Escape from the Pit. Extremely powerful only due to his magical artifacts and zealot followers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Knight Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Im hoping that if Jeff does any new classes or anything with classes, he goes towards making some of the other class archtypes of d and d. A monk would be cool although Im not sure what ranged weapon he would use. Another cool one would be like a barbarian/berserker type class.

A monk would be cool although Im not sure what ranged weapon he would use. given that d&d monks are basically kung fu dudes, razordisks would seem like a natural fit. on the other hand the shadowwalker already fills a lot of the niche of the d&d monk, being a highly mobile physical combatant with access to a range of debuffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Knight Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 I doubt we will see any new classes though as Jeff will probably only add classes if he ever decides to make another Avadon series (maybe a non-linear one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? I've played few SPW games..., is not usual for Jeff to add new classes on sequels? If new classes are not in the next Acadon, at least I hope to see higher level max cap. or new skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomizer Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 The level cap is supposed to be raised. There are supposed to be more graphics so you can choose the sex of your player character this time. No new classes until Avadon 3 since that will need more graphics.

The Reverend Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 A small number of new skills wouldn't surprise me - Jeff has certainly done that sort of thing in the past between games in a series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
