Line 45: [[StendhalRefactoringClassArcher\| Archer]] — a ranged fighter. [[StendhalRefactoringClassBravo\| Bravo]] — a lithe and flashy duelist who can pinpoint an enemy's most vital areas (i.e. a swashbuckler) [[StendhalRefactoringClassBard\| Bard]] — (Scout+Druid) a magical fighter. [[StendhalRefactoringClassBerserker\| Berserker]] — (Warrior+Scout) a powerful fighter who relies on skills and attributes more than equipment. [[StendhalRefactoringClassMonk\| Monk]] — (Scout+Priest) a blessed fighter who uses martial arts. Line 53 ⟶ 52: * [[StendhalRefactoringClassDragonKnight\| Dragon Knight]] — a powerful knight with special skills for conquering the strongest dragons. [[StendhalRefactoringClassBerserker\| Berserker]] — (Warrior+Scout) a powerful fighter who relies on skills and attributes more than equipment. [[StendhalRefactoringClassPaladin\| Paladin]] — (Warrior+Priest) a holy knight. (Sort of a cross between ~~Warrior~~Knight and Priest allowing access to both their skills, but not advancing as quickly as either of them does.) * [[StendhalRefactoringClassPriest\| Priest]] — a holy magic user. Line 62 ⟶ 61: ** [[StendhalRefactoringClassMonk\| Monk]] — (Scout+Priest) a blessed fighter who uses martial arts. * [[StendhalRefactoringClassMage\| ~~Druid~~Mage]] — an elemental magic user [[StendhalRefactoringClassWizard\| Wizard]] — a magician so powerful they have become a magical creature. (Gains spell-like abilities as skills that cost no MP or reduced MP) * [[StendhalRefactoringClassLich\| Lich]] — (Necromancer+Wizard) an all-powerful dark magic user. [[StendhalRefactoringClassEnchanter\| Enchanter]] — a magician that can temporarily or permanently enhance equipment with spells. [[StendhalRefactoringClassBard\| Bard]] — (Scout+Druid) a magical fighter. Other than the obvious difference of adding in a tree of lots of classes, one of the differences in this reorganization compared to the four basic classes above is that instead of having the typical "ranged, melee; offensive magic, defensive magic" breakdown it instead has a "speed, power; holy, elemental" breakdown where the choices are orthogonal rather than opposites. You could play an offensive ~~Druid~~Mage (fireball...) or a defensive ~~Druid~~Mage (ice shield...); an offensive Priest (curse, blight, turn undead...) or a defensive Priest (ward, heal, resurrect...); a ranged Scout (i.e. Archer) or a melee Scout (just hit them really often); a ranged Warrior (e.g. Berserker with the sprinting skill) or a melee Warrior (just hit them really hard). I think this makes for more interesting play since the classes aren't so typecasted. == Open System ==
