Re: Maj Space: Maj - Roma

The only reason I put in the Warpriest was because there are AD&D books out
there that can and should be used as reference material to make the game go
smoother with less "stress" of making up stuff.  With just a bit of changing
things around you can easily add the prestige classes into any campaign
setting, or even add some new character classes that are in the existing
handbooks.

example:  in the Complete Arcane, there is a character class called the
Warmage .. it is simple a sorcerer that has been trained to only cast damage
spells but is a viable character class. 
(and I understand you do not wish arcane spell casters to be in Roma unless
they have some form of divine casting abilities, which is fine)

Complete Adventure:  Scout character class
Complete Warrior: Swashbuckler character class

etc.. etc.. 

handbooks are references' and guides that should be used to the fullest
extent that can be.

and Warpriest .. you don't have to be a 7th level cleric .. you could be a
2nd lvl cleric and a 4th lvl fighter which makes more sense in the long run 
as "Olander" has stated in his posting.

but if you want Roma to have their Adeptus Mil that is your choice as well,
all I'm saying is there are alot of reference materials out there for AD&D3E
that can and should be used.


Thank you,

Of interest!  Thanks.

I've not read the "Complete Divine", and that is part of the
issue with trying to do something as a SJ Campaign Setting - it
should not depend on anything except the PHB/DMG/MM or SRD, and
the SJ rules.

The other problem is the usual one with prestige classes - what
does the character do until they are actually good enough to
qualify for the class?

-- The idea of Adeptus Mil is that the Roma army disrupts its
existing structure as little as possible while providing support
against enemy spellcasters.  A starting AM would be 1st, and be a
sort of auxiliary, like a chaplin or medic.

-- There is no room for clerics who will try and push their own
agendas (i.e. those of their religions) rather than the interests
of the army.  The army wouldn't want to appear to be pushing one
religion.

--  The army is probably made from 3rd-5th level soldiers
(veterans), less than 7th, and with no clerics; what would the
potential Warpriests do until they reached say 7th level Cleric?


It would be nice to use an existing class or maybe prestige
class, but it looks as though I'd have to do the (hopefully
minimal) work.

Thanks for looking!
