Crossing Classes: an optional rule for LotFP

A simple option to let classes gain some skill points or raise their base attack bonus without bothering with multi-classing or tinkering with the rules too much.

 


CROSSING CLASSES

Upon leveling up a Fighter could sacrifice their +1 to attack for 2 skill points.

A Specialist could sacrifice their 2 skill points for a +1 to attack.

A Cleric or Magic-User could sacrifice a spell slot for either +1 attack or 2 skill points. 

Fighters and Specialist cannot gain spells this way.

  1. How would you implement this for demi-human classes? (I suspect you simply don't use them :) )

    I'm thinking maybe for demihumans, they can get +1 to attack or 2 skill points but they roll their hit die for that level twice and take the lower roll? Or something like that. Maybe too random. Maybe just half the rolled amount.

  2. I didn't even think about demihumans, but that's interesting.

  3. Becoming a vampire through e-mail = LotFP character advancement
