Races |
| Cleric |
The cleric is a devout man who specialize in holy
magic that can heal wounds as well as provide greater ability in
battle. They rely somewhat on their physical toughness
(constitution), but mostly depend on their piety so they are
granted divine favor and magic. Clerics are important in groups,
both for augmenting the combat abilities of their allies on the
front line and keeping them alive and well during battle. For
self defense, they can use studded armor and shields, although
they are best on the back lines in battle. |

forsake training in armor and other weapons... |

| Armsman |

mastering the use of weapons and armor. They can use any type of
melee weapon or armor except those that are specifically
enchanted for other classes. They are the only class that can
use polearms. They are unmatched when it comes to proficiency in
the arts of melee combat. In ranged combat, they are proficient
with crossbows. They also learn combat styles that let them make
devastating attacks when certain opportunities arise. They also

realmmates. |

like the armsman, gain combat styles allowing them to make
powerful attacks when the correct opening arises. |

The paladin is a man who has devoted his life to
the Church of Albion, although he has more combat ability than

proficient in healing/augmenting as the cleric, or as proficient
in combat as the armsman, but he is important in groups
nonetheless. |
