The Eight Vocations

Knight

Shield & steel

The wall the rest of the party stands behind. Shield work, charges, taunts and counterattacks; the Knight decides where a fight happens and who is allowed to leave it.

Viking

Blood & earth

A melee and earth fighter who pays for most attacks with its own health, and hits hardest when wounded but not broken. A fallen Einherjar warrior or Hrafn can fight at its side.

Assassin

Shadow & poison

Strikes from behind, poison and bleeds, and healing from the damage it deals. The Assassin picks a target, opens it up and slips away before anyone answers.

Hunter

Bow & beast

Range, traps and an animal companion: a Talon or a War Wolf. Hunters control the ground between themselves and whatever is trying to close it.

Sorcerer

Fire & wind

Set a target alight, then finish it with wind. Sorcerers call fire down on a chosen spot and keep a mana shield between themselves and anything that reaches them.

Arcanist

Lightning & curses

Lightning and dark magic, stronger when you alternate them. Arcanists curse their targets and lay sigils and wards on the ground they choose to fight on.
