|
Amazon |
This powerful woman warrior belongs to
nomadic bands who roam the plains near the South Sea. The wandering of these groups often
brings them into conflict with other peoples, so the Amazon is accustomed to fighting to
defend her own. This lifestyle has made her fiercely independent and able to weather
severe hardship and travel. While her skill with the bow rivals that of the Rogues, the
Amazon is also adept in the use of spears and other throwing weapons, as well as in hand
to hand combat. The Amazon is much sought after as a mercenary, in which type of service
she will be loyal as long as her own ends are also served. |

Necromancer |
From the steamy recesses of the southern swamps comes a
figure cloaked in mystery. The Necromancer, as his name implies, is an unseemly form of
sorcerer whose spells deal with the raising of the dead and the summoning and control of
various creatures for his purposes. Though his goals are often aligned with those of the
forces of Light, some do not think that these ends can justify his foul means. Long hours
of study in dank mausolea have made his skin pale and corpselike, his figure, skeletal.
Most people shun him for his peculiar looks and ways, but none doubt the power of the
Necromancer, for it is the stuff of nightmares. |
|
Paladin |
The Knights of Westmarch who felled the armies of mighty
Leoric are pure at heart and follow closely the teachings of Zakarum, the Religion of the
Light. A battle-ready warrior for whom faith is a shield, he fights for what he believes
to be right. Furthermore, his steadfastness gives him powers to bring blessings to his
friends, and wreak cruel justice upon his foes. There are those who call the Paladin an
overwrought zealot, but others recognize in him the strength and goodness of the Light. |
|
Sorceress |
One of the rebellious women who have wrested the secrets of magic use
from the male dominated Mage-Clans of the East, the Sorceress is an expert in mystical
creation ex nihilo. Though somewhat lacking in the skills of hand-to-hand combat, she
compensates for this with fierce combative magics for both offense and defense. Solitary
and reclusive, the Sorceress acts based on motives and ethics inscrutable to most,
sometimes seeming capricious and even spiteful. In reality, she understands the struggle
between Order and Chaos all too clearly, as well as her role as a warrior in this battle. |
|
Barbarian |
The Barbarian is a member of any of several tribes on the fringes of
civilization, and he refuses the influence of those he sees as soft and weak. Ceaseless
clan warfare and the constant struggle to survive in the hostile wilderness are reflected
in the Barbarian's sturdy and powerful frame. Though perhaps lacking the sophistication of
city folk, the Barbarian has an acute awareness of his surroundings. Because of his
shamanistic belief in the animal powers with whom he identifies, the Barbarian is
sometimes associated with stories of lycanthropy. In fact, he believes he can call upon
the totemic animal spirits to infuse him with supernormal strengths and abilities, but
these only work to improve his already superb battle-tactics. |
