The standard D&D classes can all be found here on the Emblem of Ea. For the most part there are no changes to these classes outside of theme-based implications and a minor tweak here and there.

All standard characters begin play at level 2. Your background should reflect your character's career, knowledge and experience up until the point that they arrive in Alexandria--i.e. you should be sure that you properly explain your multiclassing selection if you multiclass, and so on.

Core Classes

The Different Classes
Class	Summary	Class	Summary
Artificer		Monk
	Artificers come from the old tradition of Kulthos, which was a society of wizards who became focused on magitech. Their spells now resemble contraptions, and the skyships are their own invention. Many of them are adventurers, eager to seak out new knowledge and try new ways to test their designs and concepts.		Defensive fighters who possess a strong mental discipline, monks balance physical might with a mystic tradition. Most gods possess a number of monk orders with varying outlooks and focuses. Monks are not recommended for new players, as the class is somewhat difficult to get to work well.
Barbarian		Paladin
	A savage warrior who relies on strength. Barbarians receive more skills than the fighter, and possess unique "rage powers" that let them do primal, or otherworldly, things. Barbarians are good at hitting things.		Paladins are defenders of all that is good in the world, and receive the sponsorship of a divine patron. They receive few skills, a few divine spells, and are good at fighting evil beings and creatures.
Bard		Ranger
	Storytellers, performers, acrobats, bards receive their spells from the Endilion Hymn. They possess a number of skills, and do not have as many spells as a wizard. They're good as a "support" style role.		Skillful, light warriors, rangers are known for their talent in the wilderness. They receive a generous number of skills, a few divine spells, and specialize in fighting certain types of enemies.
Cavalier		Rogue
	A knightly tradition that grew in Myrddion, and spread around the world. A martial and support class, they possess the ability to challenge a foe and make it count, as well as to lend support to their teammates.		Rogues are a skillful class that is adept at thievery, investigation, and a glib tongue.
Cleric		Sorcerer
	Clerics are the servants of the gods, and receive their spells from a divine sponsor. They often work within a Temple, and suggested titles are found on each deity's page. They do well as a "support" role, and may also take on the role of a divine warrior.		Sorcerers are students of the arcane who have a distant tie to some unusual creature...either that, or a contract of some kind. They gain spells more slowly than the wizard, but may cast them more frequently. They receive few skill points.
Druid		Wizard
	Druids are primal casters who receive their spells from a divine sponsor or the Green Word. They often travel in the company of a great beast, and among more primitive races, often serve in a similar manner as priests.		Wizards are students of the arcane who possess a bredth and width of knowledge. They are strongest in support, battlefield control, and buffer type roles, and though they receive few skill points, their intelligence often makes up the difference.
Fighter
	Fighters fight with steel and heavy armor. They serve as mercenaries, defenders, servants of merchants and nobility, among other roles. Fighters receive few skills, but are good at fighting and receive more feats than any other class.

House Prestige Classes (PrCs)

In addition to Core (aside from the assassain), we offer customized and all-new PrCs on the Emblem of Ea.

Indomitable: A warrior who focuses on survival, gathering the will to survive almost any foe.

Liberator: A warrior dedicated to freedom and the abolishment of slavery.

Skinwalker: A shapechanger of an older tradition.

Update: Paizo has changed the landscape. Classes are more flexible and offer more options than ever before. With these redesigns, we are taking another look at Spellgunner and Steam Titan. These options, over time, will be incorporated into the Artificer class.
