Str/Con Classes

There are 50 different classes, so for ease of reading they have been split into three different pages. There are 6 different class trees, each with 6 different subclasses. Each subclass has three tiers on a linear progression. For example, a Swordsman can become a Knight or a Fencer, and a Knight becomes a Commander and then a General. It is possible to multiclass by becoming one class, taking skills from it, and then switching to a different class, but this is much more difficult when switching to an entirely different tree. Finally, each Government and each Race have a single unique class all their own. This page covers the Soldier and Fighter class trees, and any unique classes that branch off from those. Each class gives temporary stat bonuses that are kept while you remain that class, as well as a number of class specific skills that can be purchased with EXP.

Gladiator Often slaves or just people down on their luck, the Gladiator pits himself in the ring against other men, hoping to use his combat skills to win fame, glory and riches. Gladiators fight dirty, with less remorse than a bandit and more unorthodox than a swashbuckler. They often use strange weapons and tactics, but should never be discounted.

However, if the ability is used the Thane takes at least 25 health damage in the battle. Gambler Relying more on his wit than his muscle, the Gambler likely has the same lot as the Boxer and other Fighters, a poor boy from the dregs of the Earth just trying to make his way. However, the Gambler has learned the finer points of getting ahead in society, and cons people, seduces them, tricks them in any way he can to get ahead.

Gunslinger The great city of Mu has brought many technological marvels to the lands of Ourissa, and one of the more recent was that of the firearm. Relatively easy to learn to use, and packing a mighty punch, it's only natural that the poor who want to form a career as a mercernary or bounty hunter might pick up the trade of the gun.

Haunted by nightmarish dreams, each Possessed is a member of their evil gods cult, and each is spoken to individually. While many lead normal lives, one always wonders why they do the things they do. Are their actions their own, or are they part of a larger, darker machination of men? Either way, the Possessed are very powerful, and not to be taken lightly.
