The Classes of Paridonia!
Barbarian
Amid the harsh lands of Nurock, the Barbarians reign, savage warriors of unrivaled strength, bound together in scattered villages. Their hardy nature and raw power make them formidable opponents, and their fury, their "Blood Lust," is a force of nature itself. Steeped in age-old traditions, their prejudice against non-human races and magic forms a chasm of difference, and a weak resolve is their only flaw, a potential target for mental influence. Their strength, both their gift and curse, makes them unparalleled in the heat of physical battle.
Battle Bard
Battle Bards weave their magic through harmonious tunes and captivating tales. With their enchanted melodies, they bolster their allies' spirits and sap the strength of foes, straddling the line between musicians and warriors. Their abode is the thriving cities, where they regale townsfolk in local pubs with stirring songs and legendary tales. Charismatic and knowledgeable, they are living repositories of diverse cultures, masters of melodies that shape destinies.
Berserkers
Born from the ashes of shame, Berserkers are exiled Dwarves, consumed by a relentless rage. Their banishment has kindled an insatiable thirst for redemption, driving them to court death in battle, seeking an end as glorious as their lives have been fraught. Favoring light armor and foregoing shields, these Dwarves plunge headlong into battle, yearning for a foe worthy of granting them a death that can wash away their dishonor.
Blade Masters
Blade Masters are the handpicked Elven warriors, honed in the crucible of wars against the Dark Elves. Favoring agility over armor, they have mastered the art of speed and offense. Every slash of their blade is a calculated move, designed to unbalance their foes and exploit vulnerabilities. Each strike is a precursor to the next, a carefully orchestrated dance of death designed to leave no opening unexploited.
Bounty Hunter
Bounty Hunters are the pursuers of justice - or gold - tracking down vile villains and monstrous creatures for a handsome reward. Known for their relentless pursuit and keen intelligence, they utilize a network of shady contacts to procure more contracts and more lucrative pay-outs. Their perseverance, wisdom, and wealth of resources make them unparalleled in their chosen profession.
Cleric
A cleric's power stems from their unwavering faith in their chosen deity. Their divine conduit offers formidable power against ethereal and undead foes, making them invaluable allies in the face of supernatural threats. Whether they stand as bastions of defense and healing or bring down wrathful smite on enemies, depends largely on their personal alignment and the will of their deity.
Gladiator
In the brutal world of the arena, Gladiators stand tall as champions. Their path to glory may be born of choice or force, either way, each fight is a testament to their survival. Informally trained, their fighting style is unpredictable, and every kill fuels their momentum. The roar of the crowd, the thrill of the battle, the sweet taste of victory, are the elements that shape a Gladiator's existence.
Hunter
Hunters embody the spirit of the wilderness, merging seamlessly with nature. Their understanding of animals is unparalleled, their bowman-ship unmatched. Though civilization might make them uneasy, they venture into society occasionally, tethering them to their roots amidst their wild endeavors.
Knight
Knights bear the mantle of nobility, trained under the tutelage of skilled warriors and equipped with the best arms and armor their kingdom can provide. Adherence to the Code of Chivalry is ingrained from a young age, instilling a sense of respectability and honor. Armed with an array of weapons and clad in the heaviest armor, a knight is a formidable presence on any journey.
Monk
Monks are enigmatic figures, hailing from secretive human societies and fueled by personal quests or grand adventures. Their power, known as Chi, springs from within, cultivated over years of practice. Straying from their brotherhood to seek enlightenment, they bring an unfamiliar, profound fighting style to the fray. With enough experience, it's said a Monk can kill with a mere thought or touch.
Necromancer
Necromancy, a dark art of communing with the dead, is practiced only by Humans and Dark Elves, the other races considering it a taboo. Necromancers command and manipulate the life essence of the dead and undead, dancing on the edge of morality, and wielding a power as fascinating as it is dreadful.
Rogue
Rogues dwell in the shadows of society, walking the path of underground dealings and illicit trades. Their lives are a high-stakes gamble, balancing tremendous risk for immeasurable rewards. Master of ambush and poisons, they strike with lethal precision, their success hinging on their wit, agility, and unflinching audacity.
Shaman
Shamans are the spiritual anchors of barbaric tribes, connecting with ethereal planes through deep reverence and study. Their rituals allow them to commune with spirits from the abyss, granting them access to otherworldly energies. Unconcerned with moral dichotomies of good and evil, Shamans uphold true neutrality, their actions guided solely by their spiritual wisdom.
Wizard
Wizards, masters of arcane magic, manipulate magical energies to cast a myriad of spells. With time and practice, they wield power capable of besting even the mightiest of foes. Their expertise in the arcane crafts weaves the fabric of their existence, shaping their journey, and ultimately, their destiny.
