{{Classes}}
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. So you can select from any of the eleven classes presented in the Players Handbook ([[Barbarian]], [[Bard]], [[Cleric]], [[Druid]], [[Fighter]], [[Monk]], [[Paladin]], [[Ranger]], [[Rogue]], [[Sorcerer]] and [[Wizard]]). In addition to this we also present three house classes that have been created solely for use on The Emblem of Ea. In some cases these classes are adaptations from other settings and in other cases they are the product of the efforts of staff members and players ([[Artificer]] and [[Noble]]).
 
   
   
All standard characters begin play at level 2. This means that ECL 0 characters can begin play with 2 class levels while ECL 1 characters begin play with 1 class level plus their Effective Level Adjustment. See the section on [[What are Advanced and Restricted Races?|Advanced Races]] for more information on higher than ECL +2 races. Since players can begin play at level 2, multiclassing out of chargen is possible. However, your backgrounds should reflect your character's career, knowledge and experience up untill the point that they arrive in Alexandria--i.e. you should be sure that you properly explain your multiclassing selection.

The following list is to give you an example of the types of NPCs and PCs you may encounter in Alexandria. It also may serve to give you some ideas for just what your character is doing in the city and what type of things they can set as their personal goals.

Latest revision as of 20:16, 18 May 2023

Artificer.png
Artificer
Masters of magitech and heralding from Kulthos' cursed tradition, artificers are looked upon with a mixture of wonder and fear. Many of them are adventurers, eager to seek out new knowledge and try new ways to test their designs and concepts.
Barbarian.png
Barbarian
A warrior of the wild places. The barbarian augments their fighting capabilities with primal forces and savage skill.


Bard.png
Bard
Jacks of all trades and masters of none, bards dazzle with their versatility and creative approaches to problems. Some are storytellers or performers, others acrobats, and others dazzling, mixed combatants that augment their fighting with song and spell.
Cavalier.png
Cavalier
The deadly, shining knight on horseback. Some of them aren't so shining. Some are. The cavalier tradition grew out of Myrddion and spread around the world.


Cleric.png
Cleric
Honored servants of the gods, clerics possess great powers at their disposal. They often work within a Temple.
Druid.png
Druid
Casters who answer Nature's call, druids represent a primal force. From summoning nature's elements to taking the form of a great beast, they embody the wild wonders the world has to offer.


Fighter.png
Fighter
Mercenaries, defenders, servants of merchants and nobility, fighters serve no one role. Fighters receive few skills, but are good at mastering a number of combat styles, making them more flexible in combat than might otherwise seem and their armor training feature makes them fast in any type of armor, no matter its weight. They make strong combatants.
Inquisitor.png
Inquisitor
Divine agents who get things done. Their variety of talents and martial skills allow them to fill roles as diverse from one another as the hunter, stealth expert, investigator, informant...or the angered force of their deity's will.


Monk.png
Monk
A powerful unarmed combatant with elements of wuxia, monks must strike a balance between mental and martial traditions.
Paladin.png
Paladin
Defenders of all that is good in the world, paladins take the harder path. They stand on the forefront in the war against evil, yet are also known for their mercy.


Ranger.png
Ranger
Rangers embody the world of the rugged warrior, the wilderness scout. They excel at a chosen fighting style, and are often accompanied by a faithful companion.
Rogue.png
Rogue
Rogues are a skillful class that is adept at thievery, investigation, and a glib tongue. Somewhat squishy in combat, rogues shine in overcoming obstacles, and investigative tasks.
Sorcerer.png
Sorcerer
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.
Swashbuckler.png
Swashbuckler
Because you always wanted to be Zorro. Or Inigo Montoya.


Wizard.png
Wizard
Wizards are students of the arcane who possess a breadth 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.
Witch.png
Witch
Born recently from the clash between Eluna and Taara, witches struggle between both as they find their place in the world.


Bloodrager.png
Bloodrager
Originally hailing from a secretive oruch clan, both honorable and strong, the bloodragers are the latest heroes of Ea!
