SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: misterguignol;457645Well, somewhat.  For example, "Assassin" would add get a bonus for sniping from a rooftop, while "Barbarian" might not.  It was a bit fast and loose; no hard distinctions.

We didn't let bonuses stack.  Highest bonus applicable adds to the roll.

I think my ideal situation would be bonuses and penalties associated with each career. For example, maybe the barbarian gets a bonus to melee combat but a penalty to defense and ranged combat, while an archer would get all of his bonus lumped into ranged combat.

Another way to handle that would be to treat it like a boon.  Let the player with the associated career roll an additional die and take the results of the two highest.
