Each new Player Character picks a class, and an associated archetype of that class. At levels 3, 5, 7 and 9 the player character may choose a new feature of the custom archetype features to add to their character. The PC can’t select the same feature twice. Classes list what dice to roll for HP earned at each level up. A PC always earns at least 1 HP each time they level up. Some classes have spellcasting.

The four PC classes, each broken into a number of archetypes. These are all used for player characters and henchmen only. They are:

• Warrior - A born fighter, using strength and athleticism to achieve greatness
• Specialist - A talented adventurer, relying on their training, wits, and guile to survive
• Zealot - A true believer, dedicated to the cause through steel and miracles
• Scholar - A learned student of arcane knowledge, applying their mind-melting techniques to win

There are four NPC classes as well. These are used only for retainers or any sort of civilized character met in the narrative. They are:

• Laborer - A strong but unskilled workman
• Expert - An educated talent in their field of study
• Militia - A tough guy, capable in a fight
• Adept - An acolyte priest or hedge wizard
