Classes Guide

[baha]

Most classes are all given one special ability, or their "trademark" skill. These skills are often in the format of "Basic skill," "Strengthened Skill," then "Twilight Skill."
The Twilight Skill also usually comes with a "Special," or one powerful ability that can be used once per roleplay.

**If you want a class that is not listed, request it with our staff and we will talk it over and see if it is meshable with the forum

The following Classes are allowed for your character:

• Archer- The Archer, sometimes called Ranger, is a physical class that specializes in ranged weapons, which do less damage, but allow them to attack from a distance. Hunters traditionally use bows and crossbows for damage. Aside from their bow attacks, many Hunters have buff abilities that temporarily raise their stats, such as accuracy or increasing the damage their arrows inflict. They can also inflict status effects with their arrows, and sometimes have forestry related abilities such as detecting, capturing, or hiding from mosters.
  
  
• Bard- Bards use songs to cause effects, often strengthening the party or weakening the opposition through temporary stat reduction by using the Sing command. They generally equip instruments as weapons, which vary in strength. Many Bards have summoning abilities, as well. Moreover, some Bard have the ability to Hide from the enemy. This is used maingly due to the Bard's low physical abilities.
  
  
• Berserker- A Berserker is a warrior who fights battles in an unbridled rage, and is thus extremely vicious but uncontrollable. Berserkers characteristically dress in animal skins, much like the classic Norse Berserkers The Berserker has access only to physical attacks and can hardly control themselves during battle.
  
  
• Death Knight- Being the opposite of Paladins, Death Knights love nothing more than danger, mainly concerning others. They have developed strong Dark Magic, which they use in battle.

• Druid - The druid class has the strongest ties to nature.
  They are naturally able to converse with mortal creatures, and have the ability to summon and control weather, such as rain or sunlight.

The Red Mage also have some specialized magic that the other mages are not able to.

• Ninja- The Ninja, is generally both fast and powerful, combining the agility of a Thief and strength of a Fighter. However, in order to achieve this level of dexterity, Ninja are limited in defense, unable to wear heavy armor. They can equip a number of Ninja-specific weapons, such as Ninja Swords, Katanas, Knives, Boomerangs, etc. Also, they often throw weapons like shruikens at the opponent. Many ninja also possess the Ninjutsu moveset.
