Fighter/Knight
- Fighters are characters who have devoted their life to studying the use of deadly weapons and accumulating physical strength. They do not spend any time researching magic as a fighter, instead they spend all of their time honing their skills in their weapon of choice. After they become a knight by performing the Knight's Quest, they gain the ability to cast spells and can also complete the Agate Quest, which gives them 37 extra hps. He requires no spell preperation, and can never cast more than one spell at a time. I recommend getting a returning weapon as soon as possible, as it helps them avoid jumping into every battle.
Thaumaturge
- Thaumaturges are characters who spend their lives studying the healing arts and the white magics. Although their arsenal of spells contains many healing spells, they also wield such devastating spells as Death and Stun. Thaumaturges are one of the characters I like the most, especially after you gain the ability to raise other heroes. Thaums are always needed in a battle, because in a heated fight Knights usually don't have time to cast Cure on themselves or others.
Wizard
- Wizards are characters who, instead of learning healing magic or the use of weapons, devote all of their time to the research of offensive and defensive spells. While they are not able to heal themselves or raise others, at higher levels they get some of the deadliest spells in the game, including Ice Spear and Dragon Breath. Wizards almost never develop skill in a weapon unless it is a returning weapon, as they rely on their spells instead of their arms for their strength.
Martial Artist
- Martial Artists are characters who do not practice in the skills of weapons, but instead learn how to fully use their body to demolish their opponents. After they go on the Crystal Gauntlets Quest, and develop themselves beyond black belt, Martial Artists are a force to be reckoned with. They do not need to worry about wearing armor, and they usually only wear a light tunic or robe to keep their body light, so they can be as nimble as they need to be to jumpkick. Martial Artists are harder to start out as, but become deadly after developed.
Thief
- Thieves are characters that prefer to attack from the shadows, and use clever attacks rather than frontal attacks to kill their opponents. When they kill the Doom.Orc and get his +4 crossbow, they truly become a force to be reckoned with. They possess some vital spells, including Night Vision and Feather Fall. At higher levels, and when they are used cleverly, thieves can take out huge lair crits without even a scratch. Thieves are often commisioned to help Knights in the Halberd Quest.
