![]() ![]() To emulate the cloth-wearing caster priest of the games, I felt the Adamant Entertainment 3PP Priest class does an excellent job. I created a Wizard archetype for the Warlock class using the abilities presented in the core rules for the WoW RPG that I felt could serve as a good alternative to the Summoner or Conjuration focused Wizard. That world will surely be populated with bards, sorcerers and witches and more that have never been played in the video games. How I justified it to myself was: I don't want to feel like I'm playing World of Warcraft, but that I'm playing in the world of Warcraft. ![]() In the books, comics and else-where, you see characters that do not necessary fit the eight base classes of the games. Plus it seemed more fun to have greater class freedom. Originally, I was going try to translate the more unique classes (Shaman, Warlock, Priest) to Pathfinder equivalents, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt like sticking to the MMO's pre-defined classes wasn't a critical step in capturing the essence of Warcraft. I tried to flat-line everything at 12 RPs for the sake of balance since I'm new with creating races. It seemed more-or-less like a pre-defined Alternate Racial type for each one. When doing this, I realized I could basically do this for all races to better represent the Warcraft setting. I decided to do up my own custom built races since some of them simply had no obvious sibling in the Pathfinder World (take Warcraft's Gnome for example). This is my first attempt at something like this, so don't expect it to be great or without error. Instead, I figured I'd do something much more manageable and reskin it with Pathfinder. Originally, I tried converting it to D&D4e to make it feel more familiar to the video game players, but I quickly realized it was more work than I wanted and slowly seemed like a bad idea. I have been working on a conversion of the World of Warcraft RPG rules to Pathfinder rules and thought I'd share it with the community to get some (inevitable) critiques. ![]()
