LLZ - 12 Classes

 I've finally (mostly) finished the task of adapting, creating, and refurbishing a class list for my Lizard Lords of Zapotec game to go with the race list I published in October. Next should be rules for domain play, which are important for the game concept. The 12 classes in Lizard Lords of Zapotec are:

  1. Xiuhpohualli, a musician and storyteller.
  2. Pochteca, merchants, ambassadors, and spies.
  3. Honorseeker, glory-chasing fighter.
  4. Court Magician, an advisor magic-user.
  5. Ziggurat Wizard, a heaven-seeking magic-user. 
  6. Warlord, unarmed champion conquerer.
  7. Quipu, race as druid as class.
  8. Calpuleh/Baron, a hereditary governor. 
  9. Deity, they walk among us.
  10. Black Blade, blessed with a sinister blade.
  11. Courier, adaptation of my mail carrier class.
  12. Nahualli, a culturally-accepted sorcerer.

The Xiuhpohualli is a lift from Xeno's Bard. I also consulted her take on Weapon Specialization from her Fighter posted 2020 for the Honorseeker. The Calpuleh/Baron's DNA comes from Loch's Shepherd and Sacred One. Many other influences, but these are the most direct.

 Some, supped on modern notions, think it is mere superstition that turns common folk against the wizardry. Wizards, they say, are explorers...
