09-03-07, 11:33 AM I know there was one somewhere, but if you're looking for something to go off of you could browse the forum for a class that has a template that you like. Quote it and copy into a word processor and change everything so that you can put in what you want.

It's pretty simple. And you could also look through a D&D book and take a template from there.

I personally like ToB's template for classes. Go with whatever you like or make your own. If BBCode is a problem I could explain how all of that works.

It's just a book, and they changed the way they present classes, and I like it. I could write up a quick template for you if you like. Also, it's a great book for melee types. The book helps melee characters be interesting to play and gives them a boost so they can try to keep up with casters.

There's more for the flavor text if you want it, but I'd start out with this unless you already have a real good hold of the flavor of your class and such. And flavor can always be changed, well usually. The mechanics are the main worry when creating a class.
