3. Classes
---------------------------------------------------
Barbarian
Barbarians are melee fighters who can act as tanks for the other character classes
because of their naturally high HP and attack. Barbarians can use their Battle Orders
and Battle Commands to increase HP, MP, and skill levels for the entire party
temporarily. They also use the skill Whirlwind to take out many enemies at once.

Sorceress
This character class is not meant for fighting in melee battles. They are weak in
every area except for magic. Sorceresses can kill several monsters easily as long as
they are not immune to her element. Most Sorceresses only take on one or two
different elements, a sorceress with skills evenly spread out across all three
elements cannot handle the higher difficulties.

Paladin
Paladins, like barbarians, are natural tanks. Paladins can use the skill Blessed
Hammer to do thousands of damage to his opponents. They also have many auras to heal
and increase the stats of his friends and the ability to hurt his enemies with the auras.

Amazon
Amazons can deal high amounts of damage with their Javelins and the skill Lightning
Fury. Amazons weapons increase in power when her dexterity increases so she has high
attack rating.

Druid
Druids have three special builds. The first is the Werewolf or Werebear build which
can give insane bonuses to damage and attack rating. The second is a summoning druid
who can summon several ravens and wolves to do his bidding. These are especially
effective when enchanted with fire. The third is an elemental druid which can take
heavy elemental damage without being affected and can stand almost in the middle of
his opponents and kill them without ever lifting a finger.

Assassin
Assassins use their martial arts and traps to kill their enemies quickly. Most
assassins choose to use traps however. Lightning Traps and Death Sentry Traps can be
used to kill any monster in the game because whatever Lightning doesn't kill, Death
Sentry will (causes corpse explosion.).
