LL Custom Class: Primitive

Whoops.  I hit the submit button before this was finished.  Oh well, I guess I'll do a quick patch and call it done.


Primitive
Requirements: Intelligence of 8 or less
Prime Requisite: STR and DEX
Hit Dice: d8
Max Level: 12th
Hit Progression: as Fighter
Saves: as Dwarf/Halfling
Weapons: Any
Armor: Leather, Studded, or Hide.  No shield

Special Abilities
Sneak (2 in 6)
Hear Noise (2 in 6)
Hunting/Tracking (2 in 6)
Savagery:  The ferocity of their melee attacks makes any object a formidable weapon.  Sticks and stones may indeed break bones. (Primitives use d8 for melee weapon damage, or d12 if 2-Handed)

*Dual-Wielding House Rule* - When holding a weapon in each hand, roll the attack roll as normal.  If successful roll a damage die for each weapon, but only the weapon with the higher roll struck successfully.  If the damage rolls are tied, then the target takes damage from both weapons. The primitives in my game will be taking advantage of this house rule, so I thought I should go ahead and mention it.

Primitives are individuals who grew up in the wild, far removed from civilized society.  This class is a bit of a catch-all and can include Neanderthals, wild elves, feral halflings, humans raised by wolves, Prehistoric Batman...

or generic cavemen types...

Anyhow, here is the XP chart I'd use for any of those...
