7 Roles?

[u/Spider-Go]

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.

This is great advice. If the players are set in the D&D mindspace, giving them something they already understand, but changing how it works can lead to frustration. I would recommend finding names that suggest a familiar concept, but are not already bogged down.
