For convenience's sake, KM, I'll repost some of the important stuff from the interest-check topic here:<br/><br/>http://www.scshop.com/~ritaxis/<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Now, no matter what class, the following things are available to everyone as though they were a Pokemaster:<br/>* Caster Level equals character level.<br/>* Control Pokemon (and losing them, too)<br/>Note: Once you have more than your Charisma modifier, they will automatically start vanishing into an extradimensional space that you can access from certain places (Pokecentres. Yes, there is the Nurse Joy family. Hmm, Cleric Joy?)<br/>* Train Pokemon. Note that I don't believe in the existence of cross-class skills. Every skill is a class skill for everyone.<br/>* Double Team<br/>* Speak With Pokemon</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Anyway, off the top of my head I'm considering the Fighter variant from Races of War, but I need to crack my books again and see what's what on the D&D front.<br/><br/>BTW, while creatures that typically advance by class can't be Pokemon, can Pokemon that are intelligent enough to take classes (even though most of their species don't) be trained in them rather than in normal HD progression?
