Setting up classes

First topic message reminder :

oh well...
we somehow have to set up our classes...

first of... decide what kind of classes exist... giving them a name...
giving them abilities, attributes, weapons, etc...

then.. setting up levels and ranks... requirements, how, abilities, etc..

balancing


everyone is welcome to help



ok.... i'll start a basic table...

legend:
>> indicate in which direction this class/split might go
??? name missing/searched for
? name suggestion
all names still undecided

Alrighty, since Kiri doesn't like rogue we can change it to proselytizer, It's a loose usage of the word, but it doesn't imply "outlaw". A proselytizer is charismatic, dexterous, and is very skillful, something similar to a rogue at least =D

Now for Royal Guard...

rogues arent necesarily outlaws just means they dont tend to agree with the norm

I know but in a closed minded society, diverting from the norm is considered outlaw-ish =3 We are "way back when" correct? =P But I've talked to Kiri about it and i understand where she's coming from.

time right

but there have always been rebels doesnt mean they broke the laws just disagreed

and lets move on to class skills armor and magic

a new thread has been made

Already working on it, lol. I see your point too =o

well...
ive come to the decision...
that we can actually keep rogue...
its a simple word...
though it migt get mistaken...
at least we can sort that out in out RP that it is not like that...


and what about royal guards??
i really have no clue...
maybe something with master? x.x

Master Defender? =O BattleMaster!!

battle master is too general...
and defeder is a no go...

poke master XD

whats a crusader?

EDIT:
while thinking about weapons... i notics that there are many not cutting weapons... like bats, clubs, or hammer or morning star....
and i dont know... i felt like there is a class missing to use those weapons... ö-ö

Crusaders were the warriors who left their homes to fight for Jerusalem =D

Maybe a barbarian =o

But Crusader could work for Royal Guard.

yeah... thats what i wondered...
if they would fit for royal guard


and what about my edit in the above post...?

Barbarians, lol, they use blunt weapons =o

should we add them???

Yes! They can be added to beast whisperer area. Maybe Beast Whisperer->Barbarian->Beast Slayer->Chieftain

beast wisperer directly have to do with animals... using them to fight

and barbarians arent like this...

maybe add them to swordsman... but change their name to something else
or add them to street fighters... as they use rather simple weapons

Oh, okay...Hmmm....Yeah, I think in the Swordsman area would work best. Barbarians are tribal, what would the different levels be called? I like Chieftain being last, since they could rule over their own tribe.

yeah chieftain is good ^^

barbarian > ??? > chieftain

but then we would need to rename swordsman... as those guys dont use swords in any shape ... aka blades

Table Re-made, least I could do for not seeing this sooner...the breaks between base ranks aren't there because I just coded this instead of using the built in table thing and im not sure how to put that in. I also bolded all of the ones that I added that were personal suggestions.

Actually, the Acolyte goes to Necromancer or Dark Harbinger =o A sorcerer isn't evil although there have been many famous evil sorcerers. A Sage, as i've known it, used white magic, and Kiri's opinion is of a wise-man. Arch-mage is much simpler and sounds fun =3 The space where crusader is is supposed to be blank but we could replace paladin with crusader.

thanks ryuku ^^
looking nice

though...
the blank fields were intended... (crusader, dark mage)

viking... nice idea... though they are using blades too...
but this class was intended to use blunt objects

and we need to change royal guard...
and we thought of making it to crusader
mage... magician... maybe we are going to change that ^^
as well as sage.. maybe.. though kinda arch-mage sounds more powerfull

lol... you forgot the clerics in the table

and we cant call any class outlaw...
as there exist outlaws in the usual outlaw meaning
and hermit doesnt sound powerful either... and a hermit wouldnt be that good at forming a group around him

I got it, anyway I just gave my suggestions, feel free to use the table and make any changes to it necessary.

Cleric will be added.

I agree with changing royal guard to crusader as well, btw one more suggestion I suggest shaman instead of high priest or bishop.

Actually, Bishop would work better =o I think, anyway

Alright, i'll edit it in until further notice. btw congrats on your promotion truce.

Thanks, Ryuku!!

yeah..
i changed a ew things...
but we still have a few missing/in question

barbarian > 3rd rank ?
high prist/bishop ?
syndicate ?
beast summoner > 3rd rank ?

I thought we were going to use viking? I like Bishop the best. Beast Mimic, is the best out of the two there, lol. And I have no clue for Syndicate...Maybe Boss, you know like a mob boss
