Character Classes:
The character professions available will provide you with a deep game play feel that will mold to your individual play style, adapt to the scenario at hand. Choose your units well and build your front and back lines by selecting the units based on the current battle.
Each class has unique characteristics and skill sets. Change a units profession to suit your tactical need for the battle at hand.
Some professions are hybrid classes that take skills from 2 other skill sets.
For example: the Paladin class is a melee class but also has some healing skills that are unique to it’s class. Example: “touch of light” healing a player or the user for a small amount. This skill is not as powerful as the priest healing skills but will allow room to breath when in dire need.
A units primary class type determines which weapon types may be equipped. Some units may equip two different weapons at once. Example: “Knight” may equip a shield and sword.
Experience points count towards the players class level while other experience points count towards the profession that is used during the combat duration of game play. The experience will level your profession abilities. A player may choose what profession ability is learned and in what order they are learned.
The system allows the player to shape the unit’s development. The player will choose the units class, profession, skill set and gear.
Monsters in some instances monsters may befriend the player offering to join the players party. Another instance a monster may even be tamed and raised as the players party member.
Classes follow 2 primary class types that branch into several professions. You must master the class on route before moving to the next profession. However at any point in time you may choose a profession that you have previously mastered.
Stats follows as:
HP, Health points
MP, Mana points
CT, Charge time
Health is used by all players. Once HP is reduced to zero that player/AI is dead
Mana is used by magic and summoner classes.
CT is for all players and is used towards skills that require a Charge time. The more damage you do the more your CT bar fills up. Normal skills do not drain CT points but increases it. Skills that cost turns will drain CT points. Every 25 points built up in CT points will take 1 turn cost off of your cast/charge time for skills. The CT meter tops out at 100 points which is 4 turns off of skills. You can attack with normal skills to build up CT till it is full then cast a huge skill to do major damage.
Turns go by the player with the highest AP.
AP - Act point (speed) is a players speed in which a players turn to act is judge.
Leveling up will unlock a different part of the class tree which then players can work towards a new class. If a player wishes to follow a different branch than the one they are currently following then all they need to do is change jobs to one below the branch that they wish to follow.
