Typically in the pdf supplements like this they are only Expert Classes but the feat chains provided can be used usually around 1st-3rd level to start.

The Partner Feat chain is outstanding and is only found in the Agent X series.

At this time, no, though you may see base classes at a later date. Fantasy Craft's classes cover the breadth of the fantasy standard (and some that are not) pretty dang thoroughly, so it'd need to be a real strong concept to break in. However, if a base class does rear its head, it certainly will see print in one form or another Smiley

That's okay, I just wanted to be sure.  It only means these aren't immediately useful to me. Wink

There are a few new NPC options in there that you can use right away - if you're the GM, of course. Plus, it would be good to have an idea of your destination before you start out on your journey, as it were Wink

Not to mention the feats. Smiley

The Lionheart chain is great for a "Follow Me!" terror of the battlefield concept, the spell casting feats are useful (if only as inspiration for other variants of Spoils of Evil and such). The Sword-Circle chain is awesomeness on toast.

I love them!  Thank you Crafty Guys!  I was intrigued in particular by how well dipping into Infernalist might appeal to non-dedicated casters and the Monster Hunter gives one of my PC's (Orc Scout) an option for an Expert class that simply wasn't there before.  Woohoo!

Sword-Circle Basics/Mastery/Supremacy = Extremely defensive fencing blade style

Dark Ritual/Spell Conversion: Alignment/Spoils of Evil = You're the guy the Defense Against the Dark Arts classes at Hogwarts are all about

Lionheart Basics/Mastery/Supremacy = Dive into the thick of battle and inspire terror in your enemies

Wow. Dark Gallant's No More Games ability is really good against PC/special char warrior types.

Heh. Yeah. I wonder, looking at these and the classes in the main book if it was a FC design rubric to make a list of iconic character from fantasy film and literature and say "let's make sure we can do these..."

Interesting, Gallant had sounded something knight like, a counterpart to the lancer I was thinking. As for the Infernalist, it sounded to me to be screaming the warlock.

I did like D&D's 3rd edition warlock, it was just like the type of character from a SNES game of the same name (I.E, Warlock) . Who fired purple blasts of energy at people, and that was what the D&D warlock was all about.

Anyways, I hope the Infernalist is what would be used to make a D&D esque Warlock of sorts. I am curious as to what it's like, those who own it, able/willing to give an idea what they're like beyond the product description?

In the very least, I'm interested for a D&D player of mine, who's a Warlock. Having played said class in 3.5 and 4th edition (which we're currently playing, trying it out and all), being the GM, I'd want to try and see if I can bring that concept/experience back to his character, should we convert to FantasyCraft.  I otherwise have heard someone has mentioned Priest being a good class to use for a Warlock like character.

As for the Monster Hunter, these type of classes are alright generally in D&D, just hope it's not some sort of "Ranger" kind of knock off. However I'm sure I trust that FantasyCraft has it's ways to make them be dynamic and interesting otherwise.
