Classes — Realm of Shadows

Warrior

Prime: Strength

The epitome of combat. Warriors rely on raw strength and mastery of arms — every weapon, every armor. No magic, no mana, but an unmatched force in melee. As they grow in power, the Warrior can ascend to the fearsome Barbarian.

Tiers to: Barbarian Metal Armor ✓

Mage

Prime: Intelligence

Beings of pure magical intellect. Frail in body but devastating in power, mages command an arsenal of combat spells governed by three moons. Neutral, good, or evil — their power grows without limit.

Wands & Staves only No Metal Armor

Cleric

Prime: Wisdom

Mighty healers and protectors of the weak. Armed with healing and protective magic, clerics are invaluable companions. Their wisdom deepens with every level, making them the backbone of any adventuring group.

Staves only Metal Armor ✓

Thief

Prime: Dexterity

Haunters of dark roads and alleys. Masters of backstab, stealth, lockpicking, and pocket-picking. The thief's dexterity lets them strike from the shadows before an enemy can react — and vanish just as quickly.

Tiers to: Rogue No Metal Armor

Ranger

Prime: Dexterity

Children of the wilderness. Rangers are at home in the deep forests, masters of survival, tracking, and archery. They bond with nature and use it as a weapon — patient, precise, and deadly from a distance.

Woods and wilds Limited Armor

Druid

Prime: Wisdom

Ancient guardians of the natural world. Druids command elemental magic and commune with animals. Their power is subtle but vast — they can heal, harm, and transform in ways that defy conventional magic.

Nature magic Light Armor only

Paladin

Prime: Strength & Wisdom

Holy warriors of virtue. Paladins combine combat prowess with divine grace — powerful in both sword and prayer. Restricted to neutral or good alignment, they are champions of the light in a dark world.

Neutral or Good only Full Armor ✓

Necromancer

Prime: Intelligence

Masters of death and undeath. Necromancers command the dead, drain life, and summon forces from beyond the veil. They must be neutral or evil — their arts are forbidden by the righteous, feared by all.

Neutral or Evil only No Metal Armor

Brown Wizard

Prime: Intelligence

The starting tier of the Wizard order. Through trial and mastery, a Brown Wizard ascends to Grey, then to the exalted White Wizard — a path requiring great dedication but offering tremendous power.

Tiers to: Grey → White Wizard No Metal Armor
