Magic is just as powerful as it is in a standard D&D setting, it's just not seen as often, which in some cases makes it more powerful. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />As for the core classes for Midnight, there are 7 of them, although one is purely an evil class making it appropriate for NPCs only in most cases: barbarian, fighter, rogue, channeler, defender, legate, and wildlander.Wizards and druids make an appearance, but as prestige classes rather than core classes. The reason there are no clerics or paladins is simple: there are no gods! Well, there's one god left, but he's the evil god that rules the world, so not much hope there! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> It's true that the setting demands different rules for many things that are standard to a normal D&D game, but we didn't want this to be a normal D&D game! Midnight is a setting that encourages true heroism rather than just killing monsters and taking their stuff, although you definitely still do that. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> I think for everything we took away we added something cool, but if you only like clerics and paladins....oh wait, you can take the faithful, guardian, or healer heroic path... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
