Character Classes

Character Classes

Adventurers are extraordinary people, driven by a thirst for excitement into a life that others would never dare lead. They are heroes, compelled to explore the dark places of the world and take on the challenges that lesser women and men cannot stand against.
Class is the primary definition of what your character can do. It is more than a profession; it is your character’s calling. Class shapes the way you think about the world and interact with it and your relationship with other people and powers in the multiverse. A fighter, for example, might view the world in pragmatic terms of strategy and manoeuvring, and see themselves as just pawns in a much larger game. A cleric, by contrast, might see themselves as willing servants in a god’s unfolding plan or a conflict brewing among various deities. While the Fighter has contacts in a mercenary company or army, the cleric might know a few, or many priests, paladins, and devotees who share their faith.
Your class gives you a variety of special features, such as a fighter’s mastery of weapons and armour, and a wizard’s spells. At low levels your class gives you only two or three features, but as you advance in level you gain more and your existing features often improve. Each class entry includes a table summarizing the benefits you gain at every level, and a detailed explanation of each one.
Adventurers sometimes advance in more than one class. A rogue might switch direction in life and swear the oath of a paladin. A barbarian might discover latent magical ability and dabble in the sorcerer class while continuing to advance as a barbarian. Elves are known to combine martial mastery with magical training and advance as fighters and wizards simultaneously.
