Class:
The most common classes are I will have no problem with these classes.
Barbarian, think Viking or Conan, is a
person who lives by the sharpness of his axe, wild and uncontrollable even
by himself, a great fighter.
Bard, a jack of all trades, good with a
weapon, little skill in magic, and can pick a pocket with some ease. Robin
Hood
Cleric, a priest or holy man, can cast
spells in the form of prayers and is decent with blunt weapons, and can
turn or control undead. Friar tuck
Druid, a child of natural, can cast nature
spell and can even shape change at higher levels.
Fighter, a warrior, excellent with weapons
and fighting, knows no magic and sometimes distrusts it, easy class to
learn with.
Monk, Kung fu shaolin, similar to rogue or
cleric, but no magic has many abilities that mimic magic and as he advances
he becomes a walking martial art machine.
Paladin, a holy knight, has healing
powers, can turn undead, cast magic at higher levels and excellent fighter,
a cross between cleric and fighter class.
Ranger, a fighter druid, has great fighting
skill and at higher level can cast druid magic. Good with animals.
Sorcerer, like a wizard but no need for
study or spell books, has less spells to cast, but can cast them more
often, and better with weapons than wizards.
Wizard, the spell masters studying magic to
cast powerful spells not very strong with weapons prefers to stay in
background and use magic.
