Dec 03, 2010 18:25:02		I am currently having some issues comming up with class abilities for my campaign setting, and was looking for suggestions.  Class upgrades will activate at once a player reaches level 10 in a specific class.  At that point they can choose to take levels in one of the upgraded classes or continue taking levels in their base class but not both.  Also note that any ability that does not have a description or has a remark in parenthesis do not yet have an effect and Im looking for help on those as well.
