Character Creation: Basic Character Classes

Prior to determining your skills, you need to determine your Basic Class. In The Lovecraftian Traveller, the setting is more modern than that of the medieval setting of the Dungeons and Dragons Player's Handbook, but less modern than that of the setting of d20 Modern. While Open Game Content provides means for developing character classes in either setting, The Lovecraftian Traveller offers the following House Rule:

HOUSE RULE: BASIC CHARACTER CLASSES
A Character Class largely determines the capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses of a character, and is an important element to character creation. While additional class levels can be purchased as the game progresses, the initial character class level should come from the Basic Character Classes listed in the Modern System Reference Document (MSRD): The Charismatic Hero, The Dedicated Hero, The Fast Hero, The Smart Hero, The Strong Hero, or The Tough Hero.

After the first level, a character may add new classes as levels progress, thus becoming a multiclass character, as described in the standard rules. Unlike the standard rules, however, the Basic Character Classes listed in the System Reference Document (Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, and Wizard) are only available as multiclass classes. These classes will be treated as Basic Classes, despite not being available for the first level of the character. Advanced, Prestige, and Epic Character Classes remain available as covered in the standard rules.
