These are new Entry Classes for
GOLDEN.
Every player character must
belong to an Entry Class when play begins for the character. The Entry Classes
could be used as the only classes in a certain type of GOLDEN game, but really
they are a way of generating some flavour for the character, which can then
progress in another, more fleshed out, class of the player’s choice.
All Entry Classes use the
standard XPT chart. Each of these Entry Classes is effectively a subtype of a
single generic class. Each of the Entry Classes begins with a Bonus Feat, in
addition to the single Feat and set of skills that can be chosen at level one.
In further addition to this, Negative Feats allow even more Feats to be chosen
at the time of character creation.
Each Entry Class has a mandatory
Bonus Feat for each of the class subtypes. Also, to balance this Feat, the
player must choose for their character a Negative Feat (q.v.) from the list
indicated. The various Negative Feat lists are immediately after the Entry
Class lists in the GOLDEN sourcebook. For any Bonus Feat, if the character
does not qualify for the Feat by reason of statistics or prerequisites for the
Feat, all such prerequisites are automatically conferred on the character as
well to the minimum required level.
After an Entry Class is chosen
and the rest of the character process is followed, a player can choose another
class to have a level in. This will help make superheroic and tough characters
to begin play with. The other class could be any that the GM approves, either
from fantasy d20 sources or anywhere else the GM permits.

Alien Contactee Telekinesis Uncanny 1d8
The Alien Contactee is a person who has been stolen away by space aliens, whether willingly or not, and experimented upon. The stress of this experience triggers psychokinetic powers in the character.

Evil Headmistress Skill
Focus (Pick Pocket) Empire Builder 1d6
St. Trinian’s is an English
girl’s public school with a “revered” heritage as being the single greatest den
of iniquity ever produced by the Empire. Girls of St. Trinians have gone on to
be harem wives, safecrackers, strippers, enforcers for the mob and even a Prime
Minister of England. St. Trinian’s girls are the daughters of organised crime
figures, turf accountants, heavies and super villains. As can be expected, a
fair number of politician’s daughters find their way to St. Trinian’s.
Only the most depraved (but
sweet-seeming) of hardened female criminals can even contemplate ruling the
circle of hell that is St. Trinian’s. The constant lack of money, the violent
staff and students – these are small compensations for the arduous task of
educating young “ladies” in all the gentle arts – how to disable hockey
opponents, how to place an accelerator bet on the dogs, how to provide adequate
alibi for a fellow criminal… The Evil Headmistress Entry Class must be evil in alignment as a consequence. The Social Status of the Evil Headmistress is -10.
Gorillagram Multidexterity Monstrous Appearance 1d10
The Gorillagram
is a gorilla-like entity that usually lives in a large city, the child of
mysterious parents and the product of a mysterious event. Gorillagrams can
speak the human languages as per a normal character, but their appearance is
closely similar to that of a man wearing a gorilla suit. Their Multidexterity
is a product of their prehensile feet and agile use of legs. The Social Status of the Gorillagram is 1.

Movement Monstrous Appearance 1d4
St. Trinian’s is an English
girl’s public school with a “revered” heritage as being the single greatest den
of iniquity ever produced by the Empire. Girls of St. Trinians have gone on to
be harem wives, safecrackers, strippers, enforcers for the mob and even a Prime
Minister of England. St. Trinian’s girls are the daughters of organised crime
figures, turf accountants, heavies and super villains. As can be expected, a
fair number of politician’s daughters find their way to St. Trinian’s.
4th Formers are the
little girls who are the bulk of the prison er… school population. They look
disgusting and their behaviour matches their appearance perfectly. 4th
Formers often leave St. Trinian’s and make their way in the world as match
girls, runners for the mob or professional truants. No 4th Former
can begin the game with an age greater than 15. The Social Status of the 4th
Former is -10.

Trinian’s 6th Former Sex Appeal Auto-Ecdysiast 1d8
St. Trinian’s is an English
girl’s public school with a “revered” heritage as being the single greatest den

St.
Trinian 6th Formers are all 17˝ years old. They are alluring
creatures whose attractive physical forms belie the depths of evil that most of
them hold within. 6th Formers concentrate their efforts on
feathering their nest for when the school kicks them- er… when they graduate
with honours. As such they devote themselves to having a good time and making
large bets on sure things at the horse races or the dog track.
