How
to Determine Your Character's Class and Level
In HiBRiD, the object of the game is to
simplify the game in general. As a result, only the four standard
classes are represented in the conversion of a HiBRID character in
terms of the Reference Document's spell descriptions. As you go
through the process, you will determine which classes your character
“possesses”; the classes your character "possesses" will determine how your character is affected by class and level dependent spells.
It reads complicated, but graph it out and the if...then...else tree is pretty simple and clean.

Step
One: Determine Spellcasting Classes
If
your character possesses one or more grades in the Spellslinging
Aspect, your character possesses the Mage/Wizard class. If your character
possesses one or more grades in Providence, your character possesses the
Cleric/Priest class. If your character possesses one or more grades
in both, he possesses both classes.
Step
Two: Determine Non-Spellcasting Classes
Determining
whether or not your character possesses non-spellcasting classes depends on the priorities
of your character's Combat and Fringe Skills.
If
your character's two highest grade (+5 and +4) Standard Skills are
Combat and Fringe in any order, your character possesses both the
Fighter/Warrior/Fighting Man and Thief/Rogue classes.
If not, your character's highest grade Standard Skills (+5) determines which non-spellcasting class your character possesses. A character with Combat as the highest grade Standard Skill possesses the Fighter/Warrior/Fighting Man class. A character with Fringe as the highest grade Standard Skill possesses the Thief/Rogue Class.
If not, your character's highest grade Standard Skills (+5) determines which non-spellcasting class your character possesses. A character with Combat as the highest grade Standard Skill possesses the Fighter/Warrior/Fighting Man class. A character with Fringe as the highest grade Standard Skill possesses the Thief/Rogue Class.
If
any other Standard Skill possesses the highest grade, look at the rank of the Fringe or Combat Skills. Whichever of
these is ranked with the highest grade determines the single non-spellcasting class your character possesses.
Step
Three: Determine Your Character's Class Levels
Single-classed
Characters
For characters possessing a
single-class, your character is considered to be of a level equal to
the Heroic Level described in the Campaign Background with respect to
spell effects. If a character possesses a single class but does not have their highest grade skill in the class-determining skill,
then that character's OSR/d20 "level" is determined by subtracting the number of levels
between the grade of the class determining Standard Skill and the Heroic Level. For
example, a character in a Heroic Level 6 campaign possessing the Fighter Class with a Combat
grade of +3 would be considered a third level Fighter.
Multiclassed
Characters
For multiclassed characters,
when a spell effect depends on the total number of levels possessed
by the character, the total number of levels is equal to the Heroic
Level of the campaign.
Spell effects based on a
single class will effect any character that possesses that
class. For purposes of these spells, the character level is equal to
the Heroic Level of the Campaign.
If a spell effect has a
different effect on single-classed when compared to a multiclassed
character, the character suffers the worse of the two effects. For
example, if a character possesses both a Fighter and Magic User class
and the spell says a fighter/magic user may save but a fighter may
not, that character may not save. Spells are mean and horrible and
scary, so this is not a house rule. Deal with it. Seriously.
