The Mandalorians for example stick to The Way, and follow it to death. Although you could just have it be like the Soldier class except they keep to a strict creed. Paladin - You would perhaps need some sort of religious order to use this one. Monk - Jedi?

Let's call it the Beastmaster class, using your assortment of tamed alien beasts to fight for you.įighter - Soldier/Veteran/Mercenary/Bounty Hunter, he's good with guns and wears heavy armour. I guess biotechnology could be used for a class that can temporarily take on the characteristics of others? You could alternatively split the Ranger class and take the companion aspects to a new class to replace Druid. This would be your primary social class, but they can perhaps give buffs to allies in some form (maybe not by singing a tune though).Ĭleric - Doctor, every starship needs a Doc to fix them up and crackwise.ĭruid - Hard one. They lived like hunter-gatherers on their respective worlds but something happened that made them leave and become part of the galactic community.īard - Entertainer/Speaker classes are common in sci-fi. That being said it's fun to have a go at.īarbarian - There has to be some planets that technology hasn't touched yet? That's where your Barbarians are from. I mean there aren't many straight equivalents given the vast differences in genre and setting, although you have some easy ones to adapt such as Fighter, Ranger, or Rogue. r/boardgames - Boardgames that isn't TTRPGs.Hide 'Table Troubles'-threads Related Subreddits Hide promo)-threads - (Crowdfunding, Free, Product, Self Promotion)
