08-09-07, 06:08 PM I wanted to run/play a campaign where the character's were a personification of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, but I can't think of what kind of character Famine would be, War would be a martial class, probably Warblade or Barbarian or something like that, Pestilence could be a Wizard/Dread Necromancer, Death could be a cleric who uses negative energy with the death domain...but I still can't think of what Famine would be, any idea's would be appreciated

08-09-07, 09:52 PM I'd suggest giving death a thinaun weapon or some equivalent, by the way, it's only appropriate.

Oh, and don't forget Ronnie, the fifth horseman of the apocalypse.:P

08-10-07, 10:22 AM War - Frenzied Berserker
Death - Pale Master
Pestilence - Cancer Mage
Famine - Blighter

Iunno, that's what I think.

08-10-07, 10:57 AM Good choices, Karish, I'd say that more or less covers it. Never the less, you still left Ronnie out, no one ever remembers him...:P (Discworld reference. Ronnie is the fifth horseman of the apocalypse, but he left before they became famous).

Ronnie can be a Bard.

white horsemen- carries a bow, is some sort of charismatic leader, false prophet and maybe the anti-christ.

red horseman- war, no changes needed there.

black horsemen- disparity, opulence will be plentiful, while everone else will starve.

pale horsemen- death and pestilance, the powers of the nderworld following him.
