Obviously not historically feasible, but I'm a fan of both traditional medieval fantasy and of the westerns, and figured that just by taking the vikings as the starting point they could be mashed together well enough.

Could be fun Y/N?

So i’m making a rpg tapletop and i’m looking for some help brainstorming odd classes.
I already have a group of Basic and Region specific classes but i wanted to have an Oddities group.
The game is a very magic light version of our world around the middle ages.
The players start with a small party with plans to grow into a warband of anywhere from 20 to a couple hundred people (all npcs of course).

1: there are no wrong or bad ideas (except for fetishes)
2: the world is VERY magic light
3: don’t worry about game mechanics or stats, just ideas
4: doesn’t have to be super deep, complicated, or thought out, anything will help
5: players do not have levels they spend experience points like a currency on attribute improvements, skills, and feats
6: classes can have class specific feats

I’ll give more info if you'd like.

Below are 3 classes i’m working on, many of the names are placeholders.

Lone warrior

The lone warrior is a great fighter who is new to being in a group of people who he actually knows the names of. This messes with his norm causing penalties to his social skills or when knowingly fighting within a certain proximity to them. Bring him just below your avg soldier in stats.
He has a feat he can buy to whitelist a character (npc or player) from the penalty, this can be purchased multiple times each time costing less. After the 3-5th purchase the penalty is completely removed.

/otherboard/ here:

My GM was formerly safe to play with, but i think the next session is gonna be a fuckign vore fest. And, for a player, for a GM to whip out the vore magical realm with 24' tall carnivore women is a very bad thing.
we lost 2 players to giant demon women, and now, i am going to have to track through a utterly cluttered cavern or more to get out alive.
bonuses:
>be ranger, very high stealth, boss dex
>last i leveled, i smelled a rat and put proficiency in escape artist
>lightweight character weighs only 143lbs and carries minimal gear.
> i have oil
the cons:
>GM is a handwaving priss who is a tad narcissistic and almost casual.
>unsure if my favored enemy 'outsider' applies to these ubercunts
>GM likes to plot event things, and the demons have been too 'characterized'

the system: PF with rules modifications by GM, rather narrative.
my plot: solid snake the whole fucking thing. the -whole- thing, i do not feel like being brave.

sad news: this may be the end. i have always preferred games that i feel good sitting down to, even if i get totally KO'd and hammered. If the DM ends up wanking it to a swallowing death at my expense, that puts me over the creep limit.

any sage advice? i have only been RP'ing since November
