Daring in exploits, warriors are skilled fighters and tacticians who lead others to greatness. Their courage, intuition, and discipline extend beyond the battlefield to the expedition, the court, and the communities they look after.
Whether hardened mercenaries, village officers, or jovial travelers, warriors are a symbol of the struggle for peace. They show others what’s worth fighting for.
Cunning tricksters and dirty fighters, rogues excel when they avoid confronting a challenge directly. If the odds can be bent in their favor with a little preparation or cheating, they snatch the chance. Some rogues work as thieves, others as trapfinders or hired killers. Whether out for blood or treasure, they all work best in the shadows.
Like the wild itself, druids can provide and protect — but that doesn’t mean they aren’t dangerous. Whisperers to trees and leaders of the hunting pack, their power is drawn from the primal magic of the land, both to defend life and to take it.
The rituals and customs of druids are varied. Most wield items symbolizing the raw, unspoiled might of the primal world. They change shape to live among the beasts, and tend to the needs of the wild like a living community.
Berserkers are imposing combatants, wild with the frenzy of battle and heedless of danger. With little protection and the relentless focus of a predator, they spring through danger like a pouncing predator and sweep enemies aside with the immutability of a raging tempest.
Bearing ancestral or animal emblems allows a berserker to embody primal forces and become nigh unstoppable on the battlefield.
What is more sublime than to inspire and charm, to cleave the people’s heart with words — and then perhaps do the same with a blade? Bards are poets and songsters who bolster their companions. But their cunning and versatility while adventuring make them more than just their pretty words.
Bards are collectors, too: of songs and tales, magical secrets — and there are those adept at collecting enemies.
