Warrior
Fighters represent the rank and file of those adventurers who seek to solve problems by the application of direct physical force. Their field of expertise is, of course, weapons and combat skills, but they also can pick up some related non-combat skills. The fighter advances quickly, moreso than the various specialized warrior types.

Thief
Thieves are a marginal class. They do few things better than any other class, but have the widest range of skills available. Thieves are specialists at thievery and covert actions, being capable of entering areas undetected where more powerful adventurers would fear to tread. They are better fighters than clerics, but lack the wide weapon selection of warriors.

Cleric
Clerics are the most defensively orientated of all the classes. Most of their spells focus on healing or defending the faithful, with their few combat spells being far less powerful than those of mages. However, clerics are the best class by far at healing magics, and they posess an impressive area of protective magics, as well as fair combat prowess.

Mage
Although mages specialize in casting spells, they cast no better than most. Mages have the highest-powered magic of any class, and are the only classes able to use the draconian and enchanting spell groups. They are also very skilled at the use of magical items, though their combat skills are the weakest of any class.

Gladiator
Gladiators are the ultimate combat enthusiasts. Gladiators are focused on one thing, and one thing only : COMBAT!!!! This is good, because weapon combat is what gladiators do best. They give up almost all other skills to learn more combat skills faster than most people.

Samurai
Samurai are warriors whose lives are based on honor, with the exception of the Ronin (lordless samurai). Samurai are fighters with an eastern flair, who can more easily learn the martial arts than their traditional western counterparts. They also invoke spirit power in the form of spells of two kinds : elemental (especially fire) and personal enhancements. They can draw on a small collection of divinely inspired magics to keep themselves pure to their cause.

Paladin
Paladins are fighters devoted to fighting the all-encompassing battle between good and evil and often develop their own peculiar ideas about the religion they are professing. Paladins sometimes generate these ideas from visions they receive while in altered mental states. Paladins are unfailingly egocentric. This is what set them on the career path that they're on, as opposed to simply joining the military or clergy. They often make themselves out as prophets or even gods, and more or less believe this delusion. The culmination of the Paladin Syndrome is a powerful warrior with divine gifts, making a truly formidable foe to the opposing moral power.

Assassin
Assassins are merciless killers for hire. They will bring in a bounty dead or alive without a tinge of guilt either way. Most typically prefer the "dead" option, but will take live bounties for the right price. Unscrupulous assassins have collected on their best friends, on their siblings or parents. The only person no bounty hunter has yet been known to collect on is themselves, but certainly if the truth were untangled, there would probably be a few cases of this, now that death is dead. The fact that there is no longer a definative end to life has put a crimp in the assassins livelihood, but not in their passion for their work; Assassins still love to hack or explode their victims into tiny bits, even if they know they'll be back later.
**WARNING: All Assassins begin the game as permanent pkillers.**

Ninja
Ninjas are masters of fist, blade, and spell. They can move undetected using both stealth and magic to hide in shadow. Ninjas can be deadly opponents in combat, but prefer subterfuge and misdirection. They are second only to monks in their martial arts prowess. A skilled ninja can take on any challenge due to their well-rounded set of abilities.

Monk
Aarchon has one primary monastic order, and hence the sect has no need for a name to differentiate itself. They are simply the monks. The monks have a natural religion with no hint of theism or dogma. They meditate day and night, seeking greater understanding of the Universe and its curious inhabitants, humanoid and otherwise. Monks scorn the use of weapons. At high levels, they may learn a few weapons, but they more or less limit themselves to the use of their own bodies as tools of defense. They have mastered the martial arts, and can often accomplish more with their bodies than any barbarous warrior can with their swords.

Templar
Templars are an ancient order of religious nobility who have outlasted, as a politcal force, any of the passing trends of monarchy, revolution, or capitalism. Since the shattering, they have come to be the supreme governing body, since only they have been represented in virtually all time frames. They fight to preserve order and the privilege that lets such as they remain in the noble class. Despite their religious rites, beliefs, and dogma, they do not preach to the masses, although they do impose their morals on them. Templars are the lawyers, beurocrats, police, and officials who hold Bastion together. Because of their status, they have the time to pursue a formal education, including subjects like magic theory, making them skilled in both magic and clerical prayer.

Illusionist
Illusionists are masters of deception. Through slight of hand, smoke, mirrors, and truly awesome feats of magic, they can make things appear, disappear, and transform at will. They are experts at twisting the mind through impossible sensory experiences and direct mental pressure. Illusionists are scam artists, and can sometimes bilk the populace out of their money on a far grander scale than any thief could dream of. When this fails, their nimble fingers and awe-inspiring distractions help them to take it in a more direct fashion.

Gunslinger
Gunslingers adapt to almost any situation ... As long as it is in reach of a gun. Gunslingers begin their careers fairly helpless but towards the upper levels they achieve the ultimate mastery of their chosen weapons, and more than a little wisdom about the ways of the world. Before their journeys are through, they learn not only how to handle a gun, but also numerous crucial survival skills.

Ranger
Rangers are skilled in the arts of wilderness survival, and have little use for cities. They are most at ease in natural surroundings and are masters of hunting and trapping. They have the most diverse skills of any class and can go their whole careers with little need for money or recalls.

Necromancer
Necromancers are followers of dark magics. Their specialty lies in the raising and control of undead, and on ritual magic and curses.
Necromancers are currently still in a testing phase, which means that they will be changed around quite a bit. So..feel free to play them, but at your own risk. :)
