** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** I'm presently playing in a campaign where everybody has created a new class. Obviously, this is not strict AD&D, but I think that after years of playing this game, the classes get a little old, and something new around livens things up a lot. Our group contains a Catlord, a Necromancer,a Beastsummoner, a shapeshifter, a Transmuter, a Timelord, a Psi-shaper,and a Forestal. Needless to say, things can get a bit confusing, and balancing the classes is difficult, but much less of a problem if you understand that you are there to have fun, not see who can get the most power. Iti s unfortunately a common problem with a lot of campaigns I've seen that all characters are really interested in is more power (though I must confess, playing a powermad megalomaniac can be very entertaining). Anyway, as for these classes not being official, my only answer is `so?'. after all, the idea is to have fun, and if gary gygax doesn't like me changing the rules, he should have written them right in the first place. :-) yeah, well, whatever

Beware and Quoth the Raven nevermore
