My last group I was in used one - after the sole female player read Hyboria's Fallen, she realized how playable the class is. She's planning another for the group I'm running now.

Thanks for the advice, FD. I'm still not absolutely certain how I'll handle it, but your ideas are certainly reasonable. I'll probably wind up doing that. I'm surprised that this hasn't been handled elsewhere; I would imagine I'm not the only person who's asked this question.

Essentially this is going to come down to GM fiat, but I'd like to explore my basis for making a final decision. On an unrelated note, we used the D&D method for determining the...
