I hear that the Stornlands supplements will contain character classes - can anyone confirm this, and maybe post a list of the classes?
Also, previews?

Character classes in Stornlands
- Thread starter Zager Krahl
- Start date
The first Stornlands supplement will contain the Stornlands Assassin, a class that addresses all the Assassins Guilds of the Stornlands including the Assassins Guild of Rhem but also two other ones uncovered by Joe Dever.
Stornlands 2 will contain the Stornlands Mercenary, a complex class that will address all the Mercenary companies of the Stornlands. The disciplines of a Mercenary will vary according the nationality of the Mercenary (Lyrisian, Salonese...), but also his speciality and his race. For each type of Mercenary, one of the companies of the Stornlands active in MS 5000 will be detailed.

I'd be interested to see how they compare to my own classes, the Stornlands Mercenary and the Guild Assassin of Rhem. A nationality-based Discipline set is quite neat... *ponders*

Excellent! I hope these Stornlands books are as good as the Darklands is... unique character classes are one of LWM's strengths!
Hello everyone, I hope you will like Stornlands.
I can give you information about the character classes as I created them.
The Mercenaries share a set of 6 basic Disciplines. That's their common fighting background.
They also have a set of 4 basic Company's Disciplines to reflect the specialty of each group.
The Assassin is part creation, part adaptation from a d20 version made by one of my fellow.
Lastly, all classes can raise to Rank 20.

A 'Sage of Varetta' Character class will be appearing neither in Stornlands 1 nor in Stornlands 2, however the history of this order will be exhaustively detailed in Stornlands 2 (when was the order created, when were the Halls of Learning built, how did they learn to read the stars, who were their greatest enemies during history, the goals and the most important figures of the order, the youth of Gwynian...) as well as the Halls of Learning.

Sounds like if we get that kind of detail it could be easy(ish) to put together a fanmade character class. Will have to read about them and decide what disciplines they have, etc.

At last, we finally get a more generic warrior type. I am really looking forward to both the Mercenary and the Assassin classes. Races eh? If there is not an Ogron Mercenary variant, I will certainly make one...

I always loved the stornlands setting - it has a lot of grit and political nastyness, and I am a huge fan of city based adventures, so I am looking forward to this.
