      So i am lazy and I like making my player base do my thinking for me, so I am going to give you a few examples of what I want to see, and you do the rest.

      Some ground rules:

      1. Do not comment on each others ideas.
      2. Do not comment on each others ideas.
      3. Do not comment on each other ideas.

      I don't care if they are unbalanced, broken, or ridiculous. Something might give me an idea to submit to our script team to make and I do not want balance- just let your creativity flow.

      Format:

      1. Kit Name
      2. requirements
      3. Perks
      4. Description

      Examples:

      1. Eldritch Knight
        1a. Fighter(Paladin also acceptable)/Wizard(Sorcerer also works). Melee/Caster levels must stay within two levels of each other (4 fighter 2 wizard is fine, 5 wizard 2 fighter is not).
        1b. The Arcane Level grants 6 hp per level instead of 3. Player gains -25% arcane spell failure regardless of armor type, shield gains -15% arcane spell failure if applicable. +3 spellcraft.
        1c. Famed for their skill at arms and spells, the Eldritch Knight is an unwieldy combination of martial might and arcane skill. While not quite as good as their peers who dedicate their lives to one branch of adventuring study- the Eldritch Knight works to balance the two occupations and serve in either role as the need demands.

      2. Reaper
        2a. Barbarian/Sorcerer with SF necromancy.
        2b. When raging, the Barbarian slays his enemies, animating them as undead allies who serve as specters enthralled to his service and defend his blindspots while his weapon hews his foes. Gains +2 negative energy while raging. +3 intimidate
        2c. Whispered in savage tribes, the Reaper is an epitomy of death incarnate, feared and dreaded- hunted and scorned, the Reaper Walks, and death follows.

      3. Paladin of Banishment
        3a. Paladin with SF Conjuration
        3b. Gains 1/day banishment, bless weapon changes to 2d6 versus outsiders.
        3c. The Paladin of Banishment favors otherworldly enemies and banishes the demons, devils, and daemons from the prime material. He also combats the forces of chaos that threaten the occupants of the Prime.

      Puffy's bumbling Scum-goblin minion.
