| − | This is the list of classes used in Trinity.
| + | #REDIRECT [[d20_Mechanic: Classes]] |
| − | | + | |
| − | Keep in mind that many of the classes used in Trinity were written specifically for this setting. In addition, while some classes have the same name as classes from core d20 or Pathfinder, these classes are going to almost assuredly be different from them in some regard, to take into account the conceits of the setting. As such, ensure that - when creating a character - you read the class description thoroughly, and that it is what you want.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The class list here is significantly larger than in d20 or Pathfinder, primarily to accommodate the nine Forces and their differentiations. I've attempted to compile a reasonable categorization system that sorts the classes into broad groups. I have tried to be as accommodating as possible in terms of allowing a wide variety of class concepts, so long as they fall within the conceits of the setting, and I'm fairly certain it's possible to create pretty much anything reasonable.

| − | '''Up for Review'''
| + | |
| − | : The following classes are currently up for review in Trinity. A class that is up for review is either an existing class whose purpose is going to be reviewed, and possibly modified or removed in favor of a new class that is more fitting to the setting, or a class that is not written yet (either partially or not at all) that is next in line for creation.

| − | None at this time.

| − | '''Removed Classes'''

| − | : Some classes have been specifically removed from the standard d20 system in regards to Trinity. The following list is a list of classes that are not used in Trinity.

| − | The classes here will eventually have short descriptions, as well as being categorized to make it easier for a beginning player to understand the class's role in a party.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Class Categories==
| + | |
| − | * '''Warrior:''' Warriors are trained in the arts martial, wielding common weaponry and invoking nothing more than training and their own personal skill to win the day. Able to turn the tides of battle, warriors come in a variety of forms, but all can hold their own in a fight and are usually capable of protecting their allies in some form. An [[Class:_Einhander|einhander]] is a warrior.
| + | |
| − | * '''Spark:''' A "spark" is Trinity slang for a Force-user, someone who is able to manipulate the energy of a Force and channel it to their ends. Whether it be tapping into leylines to produce magic, accessing the world memory to discern new things, or invoking the wrath of a Primal, sparks are capable of a wide variety of effects. A [[Class:_Mage|mage]] is a spark.
| + | |
| − | * '''Adept:''' Between warriors and sparks are the adepts, individuals whose chosen profession is a combination of the arts martial and the training necessary to wield a Force. Adepts specialize in synergizing their two chosen paths, resulting in a skill set that is greater than the sum of its parts. A [[Class:_Jedi|jedi]] is an adept.
| + | |
| − | * '''Expert:''' Experts focus on specific skills and occupational niches. The result is a more tightly-defined party member whose usefulness peaks in select situations and whose forte lies in support. While able to hold their own in a fight, Experts are always at their strongest in conjunction with a well-rounded group. Some experts are Force-aligned, but access their Force in an unusual way. An [[Class:_Explorer|explorer]] is an expert.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Adepts and Combat Style===
| + | |
| − | Adepts require some special attention. Every adept class is tied to a specific Force, but then - usually - gets to choose a particular style of combat, in essence gaining some of the abilities of a particular warrior class. Not all adepts can access all warrior classes, however; some Forces are more easily adapted to the fighting styles of certain classes. For each adept class, you will find a table on their page that indicates the nine warrior classes and if the adept can take the class: a [[File:Check.png|13px]] indicates that the adept can choose that style, while a [[File:Nah.png|13px]] indicates that they cannot. A [[File:Maybe.png|13px]] indicates that the adept may be able to choose that style, but is subject to certain restrictions or has other requirements that will be further explained within the class description.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Once selected, an adept cannot change their choice of combat style later.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | An adept does not gain all the class features of the class from which they derive their combat style. The adept gains access to that class's maneuver list, as well as the necessary components from the parent class to make it function (e.g., adepts who choose the "archer" combat style gain an aim token pool, and can spend actions aiming), but nothing beyond that.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | : '''''Example:''' Troi is a [[Class:_Learner|learner]], and decides to take the [[Class:_Defender|defender]] combat style. He gains an armor token pool, and it functions in exactly the same manner as it would for a defender - whenever his DR negates at least 5 points of damage, or an attack misses with a result lower than his flat-footed AC, he gains an armor token. However, he does not gain any other defender abilities, even those that improve the armor token pool.''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you are using a racial paragon or prestige class that gives you progression in a Force, such as "+1 caster level," and choose to imitate an adept class, you do not gain access to the class's combat style: you are focusing on the Force-aligned aspect of the class, not the class as a whole. Likewise, if you have a racial paragon or prestige class that gives you an initiator progression, and you choose to imitate an adept class, you only gain access to the martial part of the class, not the Force-using aspects. While it may seem that this is not worth doing, as adept classes often have significantly slower progressions on their two halves, but most adept classes also gain access to unique abilities that other classes cannot gain access to.
