Characters

Amazon
- This powerful woman warrior belongs to nomadic
bands who roam the plains near the South Sea. The
wandering of these groups often brings them into
conflict with other peoples, so the Amazon is
accustomed to fighting to defend her own. This
lifestyle has made her fiercely independent and able
to weather severe hardship and travel. While her
skill with the bow rivals that of the Rogues, the
Amazon is also adept in the use of spears and other
throwing weapons, as well as in hand to hand combat.
The Amazon is much sought after as a mercenary, in
which she will be loyal as long as her own ends are
also served. |
Barbarian
-- The Barbarian is a member of any of several
tribes on the fringes of civilization, and he
refuses the influence of those he sees as soft and
weak. Ceaseless clan warfare and the constant
struggle to survive in the hostile wilderness are
reflected in the Barbarian's sturdy and powerful
frame. Though perhaps lacking the sophistication of
city folk, the Barbarian has an acute awareness of
his surroundings. Because of his shamanistic belief
in the animal powers with whom he identifies, the
Barbarian is sometimes associated with stories of
lycanthropy. In fact, he believes he can call upon
the totemic animal spirits to infuse him with
supernormal strengths and abilities, but these only
work to improve his already superb battle tactics. |

Necromancer
- From the steamy recesses of the southern swamps
comes a figure cloaked in mystery. The Necromancer,
as his name implies, is an unseemly form of sorcerer
whose spells deal with the raising of the dead and the summoning and control
of various creatures for his purposes. Though his goals are
often aligned with those of the forces of Light, some do not
think that these ends can justify his foul means. Long hours
of study in dank mausolea have made his skin pale and
corpselike, his figure, skeletal. Most people shun him for
his peculiar looks and ways, but none doubt the power of the
Necromancer, for it is the stuff of nightmares. |
Paladin
- The Knights of Westmarch who felled the armies of mighty
Leoric are pure at heart and follow closely the teachings of
Zakarum, the Religion of the Light. A battle-ready warrior
for whom faith is a shield, he fights for what he believes
to be right. Furthermore, his steadfastness gives him powers
to bring blessings to his friends, and wreak cruel justice
upon his foes. There are those who call the Paladin an
overwrought zealot, but others recognize in him the strength
and goodness of the Light. |

Sorceress-One
of the rebellious women who have wrested the secrets of
magic from the male dominated Mage-Clans of the East, the
Sorceress is an expert in mystical creation ex nihilo.
Though somewhat lacking in the skills of hand-to-hand
combat, she compensates for this with fierce combative
magics for both offense and defense. Solitary and reclusive,
the Sorceress acts based on motives and ethics inscrutable
to most, sometimes seeming capricious and even spiteful. In
reality, she understands the struggle between Order and
Chaos all too clearly, as well as her role as a warrior in
this battle. |
