    oh i fucking love WHRP

    “what profession is your character”

    “oh, they’re an artisan. a skilled silversmith to be precise, what about you?”

    “ah, i just rolled a peddlar”

    i need more RPGs that feature classes that are just some guys with no/very few combat abilities

      YES! You get it. It’s also great that there is no downside or anything stopping you from starting as a peddlar, getting conscripted into the state army, working your way up to handgunner, defecting, and becoming a river pirate; bringing all of the associated skills from those expiriences along with you through the development of the character.

      I am fortunate that I have a good balance of two combat wombats and two social primary-players in our campaign. Not having a wizard could bite them in the ass soon if they don’t start treating my NPCs better though >.>
