Hey all, I am looking to check interest on a homebrew idea.
Rundown- you are all from a small town, you will start out with 1 NPC class but very quickly advance into your normal class depending on your town 'role' you chose. Every role has several different options, but similar equipment. (Most of your starting equipment will be given by me, with flavor input by you) you won't know what class options you are getting until told, once selected a role may not be selected twice however, if you wish to contest a role, you may. Your backstory and how you got where you are however, are completely up to you.
