[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9111143, member: 6704184"] Captain - Fantasy is full of Captain America types. The Fearless Leader. The Commanding Charismatic Hero. Expert - Scholarly or knowledgeable hero with specialties and probably decent at some of what the alchemist and sorcerer can do but mostly about knowledge, etc Assassin - The shadowy lethal hero. Yes, hero. Based more on the romantic view of The Assassins, as fearless champions of thier people against more powerful forces. Contains a lot of the Ranger’s focus and targeted strikes and the rogues stealth and find and exploiting advantage. Can skirmish, but excels when moving in and out of shadow. Jack - the trickster. Can be magic or not, often blurs the line between skill and the supernatural, has luck mechanics and the most general skills. Knight or Champion - The big stalwart. Can be the immovable object or unstoppable force as a build choice or maybe a stance type thing, whatever, can make attacks to defend allies or stagger enemies, etc. not distinct moves, just some form of “when you attack you can impose one of these effects” type feature. Sorcerer - This is the magic focused class. Imagine a warlock with a spellbook, more than a wizard. Alchemist - Fully a hermetic mystic alchemist. [B][I]Not [/I][/B] the potion and bomb maker of D&D and pathfinder and such, no, this is the class that embraces science and magic as one thing. Can evoke and invoke power into things, craft items of power, dabble in what other magic users do, understands magic as part of [science]. Priest - Wards and barriers, dispelling and banishing, blessings and banes, at high level can call angels by name and gain thier aid, type stuff. Not themselves a direct combatant, normally. Duelist - The swordmaster, kensei, etc. can move and attack too fast to track visually, has secret techniques that are mystical but not spell-like at all, not similar to the magic classes. [/QUOTE]
