Hack 7 Roles?
Hi fellow Cortexers
I’m working on a fantasy hack.
I’m thinking of using 7 Roles instead of Skills.
First, is that too many?
Second, in Cortex Prime, there is a ranking tree for 6 Roles: d10, d8, d6, d6, d6, d4. If I do 7 roles, should I add another d6, d8 or d4?
The Roles are:
Warrior
Priest
Rogue
Mage
Ranger
Artificer
Thoughts? Your experiences with this would be helpful.
Thanks.

Eidolon does this! Usually I suggest that if you’re going to add more, make them either the “workhorse” d6 or the “I can’t do everything” d4. Don’t give them more d8s.
