EMO Class Skills Cleric & Fighter


































Working on Elfmaids and Octopi home rules (EMO Rules) Starter Book
Going back to revising my home brew. Renames in progress.
Metric 1"=3m, default 20mm mini battlemap scale with cm=1m measurements
Weapon Proficients, armour and fighting feats all come under Arms category
Non Weapon Proficiency skills are now Arts category
Each class has common variants with pre chosen arms and arts for a quick character
There are also suggestions for what to spend INT bonus extra arts and arms slots on
Its a kit to use for own homebrew really and not a complete game
More like mod ideas for BX or 1st ed era games

sorta BX like but with skills more significant

3d6 In order bonus as per older games

3 -3
4-5 -2
6-8 -1
9-12 Average
13-15 +1
16-17 +2
18-19 +3
20-21 +4
-any more than one stat below 9 becomes 9 (only one stat below average possible)
-any stat used as class prime requisite is raised to a minimum of 12

Might = strength, brawn, muscle, breaking or lifting saves
-bonus helps damage on any muscle powered weapon
Agility = dexterity, manipulation, swiftness, dodging saves

Class Changing

You can change class once per Talent bonus (1-3 probably)
Non human classes require a wish or poly morph to change class but possible
Elves, Bards, Gnomes can choose any one spell list type, divine, nature, arcane or mental

Prime Requisite Attribute for classes
Extra bonuses abilities for class for high ability scores
Fighters get extra Arms skills Thieves get extra arts
Wizards and priests get extra spells
Max level you can ever gain in the class equals that stat
20th level is as high as anyone can go in a class

Level Benefits

For each level gain HD+Vigor Bonus in HP for their first ten levels
Then a set number of HP 
+Vigor Bonus in HP per level
Average is the minimum starting HP you can have at first level only
4th Level (and again 8,12,16,20) gain +1 attribute point you can spend as desired
At 5th Leval and every level after gain a d3 level apprentice or a d4 zero level apprentices
-Animal followers can be taken instead but they don't improve the same way
Gain extra arts, arms, languages and class specific benefits
Spell lists imply 18 Will Prerequisite Bonus so select from these for quick start
