Description
Okay, so OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS IS GOING TO KILL ME. But its awesome, so its okay.
Lets start out with the basics: A buddy of mine and myself were tossing this idea around for a few months. We've recently decided to do a real-life variant for D&D because we're both hopelessly out of shape and winning a game is phenomenal motivation for guys like us.We decided, what the hell, might as well implement the zombie bit with it too, and just see how it goes. I'm REALLY excited about this, because it means revamping almost the entire game to fit the scenario. For those of you who play, you know how big of a challenge this is. For those who aren't, the Player's Manual alone for the original game is roughly 390 pages long. There's 3 essential manuals, and the PM is one of the smaller ones.
Base Stats: Still the same.
Classes: Will need to be revamped, rewired, and almost completely recreated. Assume a tree-life hierarchy, with the ability to multiclass, but by multiclassing certain classes will be removed from you scope of ability to learn.

Architect – Hero (Level 7, INT 18, CHA 16)

More to come.

Races: Races will need to be completely down away with, instead replaced with a sort of 'Pedigree/History' system. This would work as a sort of 'things your character is kind of sort of familiar with, has picked up along their lives'. If your dad was a carpenter, odds are you know a thing or two about carpentry. You're not necessarily good at it, but you understand bits and pieces.

Skills: Will also need to be revamped and rewired. Granted, some will stay, like Jump, Climb, Ride (Drive), Stealth, Move Silently, Knowledge skills, etc
Feats: Will also be revamped, thought admittedly mostly just renamed.
