A Land Far Away

A New base class, with enhanced survivability in ALFA

Fleer

The Fleer has honed his self preservation instincts to peternatural ability. He runs to fight another day, every day. Fleers generally are athletic types of neutral disposition, as leaving friends and loved ones to meet gruesome ends which otherwise would have befallen the fleer is all in a days work.

(( I'm rolling up my new one now, so if you see my new PC Brave Sir Robin, say hi!))

Monty would be proud.

HAH!

One of my RL friends played a pally tabletop D&D who always seemed to be running away-

We also greated custom feats for Sir Liam

Improved Withdrawl, Skill Focus (Flee), and Greater Re-focus (altered to "just stand there" in 3.5)

I really like the 'hobble other' and 'play dead' feats myself.

The class certainly passes the "Not Elothar, Warrior of Bladereach" criterion... so that's one obstacle cleared on the path to implementation .

I'd not be averse to a class like this being in

I believe you left off the....

at 5th level the fleer recieves one henchman, who loyaly follows the pc around banging coconut halves together...

At 10th level:

Fleer gains one 8th level Dwarven henchman who is extremely overweight, further reducing his movement rate another 10%.

Didn't Loengrin of Overmeade get to level 10 in this class in ALFA1?

Loengrin of Overmeade Refference +10 points on my LOL scale
