PLAYABLE RACES - CLASSES

In the game there are three playable races to choose from, each of which has four classes/professions available to it:

The Middenrealmian: The humans of Aventuria occupy a wide majority of the land, over half of these descend from Gyldenlandian settlers from over 2500 years ago and are known as Middenrealmian. This people have interbred with many of their kind and so share in no real similarities other than being human and have a vast selection of cultures and backgrounds depending on their region. Middenrealmian can play as the following professions:

Warrior - able to wield all manner of different weapons and Shields they can also fight wearing any type of armour, though as there role typically takes them to the front line of battle many prefer to utilise heavy armour.

Rogue - Masters of survival both on the street and in battle they can slip a coin from a purse as easy as they can slit the throat of an enemy, dextrous and deadly they arm themselves with daggers and rapiers and keep their armour light so anot to hinder their movement.

Healer - Masters of the healing arts they are familiar with anatomy and the knowledge of curative poultices and methods. Whilst the focus is on easing pain and suffering they are more than capable of dealing it out in battle and defending themselves when necessary.

Mage - capable battle Masters able to harness the astral powers, assigned to the mage Academy for many years until they are able to understand and master their magic. As metal disrupts the flow of astral power to the mage they have forsaken traditional weapons and armour.

The Elf: Originally from the light world and these people of the fey dream themselves into existence. Though there are many different types of elves, depending on where their ancestors originally settled, typically they are all tall and slender and sport traditional pointed ears. Due to their long lifetimes elves typically choose to have fewer children in comparison to humans and instead focus on completing their destined goals; once fulfilled they will take their leave of this world. Elves can play the following professions:

Fighter - Elven warriors that are sworn to protect their people and their homes from their common enemies, using their skills, bladed weapons and the traditional Elven bow. Elven magic is diminished when metal is close and so there magic wielding fighters do battle in light armour.

Spellweaver - the most proficient of magic users among the Elven folk are the Spellweavers, typically charged with travelling to foreign tribes to share and gather magical knowledge that comes natural to their race.

Keeper - master healers that are drawn to what the elves call the “nurdra”, the life force, and dedicate their lives to this preservation and expanding their knowledge of healing herbs and potions. Armed with daggers or fencing weapons they only draw them in self-defence.

Ranger - the hunters and scouts of the Elven people they were born to the wild and most comfortable there, knowing the dangers they are master survivalists. Ranger is an exceptionally gifted marksman and deadly in long-range combat.

The Dwarf: Stubborn and stoic people they have bred some of the greatest warriors Aventuria has ever seen, often donned in the greatest armour armour ever crafted by their own hand. Stouts and sturdy they have a natural resistance to poison and disease and have exceptionally long lifetimes ranging from up to 400 years. The dwarf can play as the following classes:

Mercenary - the Dwarven love of gold expands beyond their home mines, those who become adventurers typically do so to gain coin as hired mercenaries, fighting for those who can pay the most. Specialising in cross balls and a single melee weapon they arm themselves with dense chainmail.

Bounty Hunter - similar to a mercenary about Hunter also works a coin but focusing more on tracking wanted men and women they are adept in both urban and wilderness settings, able to hunt down their quarry and focusing on a blend of ranged and melee weapons.

Physician - battlefield healers, the physician regards his healing abilities as its own craft and saw, needle and thread the tools of their trade. As is common for all dwarfs they are still more than capable in battle and quick to pick up an axe or a mace when needed.

Geode - seeing themselves as those selected by Sumu, the Earth Mother, Geodes are different to humans and that they do not practice within an Academy but instead under a master of this art form, bowl like humans their magic is still hindered by metal and so they rely on leather and staffs.
