Potestas: a D&D3E supplement

Chapter Three: Classes

Alignment: there are no alignments in Arda: however, some classes require that characters follow a code of conduct.

Hit Points: Characters begin at 1st level with double the listed hit points for their starting class plus their Con modifier, then get a set number of hit points plus their Con modifier each time they increase in level.

Classes: Characters may belong to any of the following classes, subject to the DM's final approval. The description of each class lists only those things that are different to the standard PHB or DMG class. There are no prestige classes.

Base Attack, Defence, and Save Bonus: Multiclassed characters stack class levels with the same Base Attack, Defence, and Save Bonus when determining their total bonus. For example, a mystic 3/rogue 3 character has 6 levels of average BAB, not 2 sets of 3 levels; a berserker 2/hunter 4 has 6 levels of good Fortitude save, 4 levels of good and 2 levels of poor Reflex save, and 6 levels of poor Will save.
