Creating a class with a custom "special abilities" upon levelling

[mirtos]

Rogue's have "rogue talents".

Sorceror's have bloodlines.

Ranger's have "combat styles"

but rogue talents is the closest thing to what i want.

I want to create a class that has something new, lets call it "fortunes".

Initially the list they can pick from will be small, and mostly greyed out. as they level, more options will be added to the list, but they will have to pick certain ones. by 20th level, they will have 8 fortunes in which the entire list would have been about 20. (in other words of the 20, they will have selected 8).

Im guessing the answer might be no, but is it possible to do something like this?

Yes, all the examples you list are just custom abilities that various tables on the class can choose from. You'll have to set up the Fortune custom abilities and give them pre-requisites for certain levels in your new class.

but how do i do the choosing? i mean if i do 20 fortunes, with all the pre-requisites, how do i limit them to just chosing some? I thought when you do special abilities and do the pre-req, the class automatically gets them.

thanks in advance!

In the editor, choose the Help menu, and choose "Help on Using the Editor".

Go to "Creating the Alchemist (tutorial 7)", and then to the "Custom Abilities (Discoveries)" section of that page. That describes how the custom abilities were set up for another class, and will hopefully help you set up the custom abilities for your class.

Then, the building of the individual discoveries that an alchemist can select from is further down on that page.
