If anyone is familiar with the Oriental Adventures expansion of D & D, I'd suggest doing something like that. Not an actual class for every House, but skills that are always class skills for them and a feat that they automatically agin, or something along those lines. Alternately, you could simply have different lists of bonus feats for each House to take in their individual classes. --- Mark Englehart <mark_englehart at cox.net> wrote: > Okay, > That now makes four of us who are interested in > continuing this topic.
