Monk

The monastic order is one that cannot be entered lightly. When a player becomes a monk he gives up the use of weapons completely. A monk uses mind and body centering techniques to gain complete control over their body. Because these techniques require freedom of movement, even armor can become a hindrance to the monks performance. This centering allows the monk to best even the most heavily armored opponent with his bare hands.

REQUIREMENTS: Cannot be wielding a weapon, and never will again wield a weapon.

Assassin

Assassins are killers for hire. They are gritty individuals, hardened to the pain and suffering of their victims. When they kill, they do so without remorse, to them its just part of the job. Assassins train themselves in the art of disguise and subterfuge. They also realize the value of real knowledge and study texts on anatomy and bone structure, thus enabling them to make every blow count for more.

This scarring toughens their bodies to the hardships of the real world, and makes them much more resistant to attacks by their foes.

Archer

Archers are rare people with such grace and control that they can be deadly when using ranged attacks. These individuals aim with such precision from great distances, that even the smallest and most inoffensive missiles can be devastating to their opponents. Even a single dart can kill an ogre in one hit if it hits the right spot. This intense ranged offense is inapplicable at close range, and therefor archers must also train their bodies to move with almost unnatural grace to allow them to survive should an opponent survive long enough to manuever close enough for melee combat. It is also important for an archer to be able to hunt his prey unnoticed. For this they must learn how to camouflage themselves to avoid detection as long as possible.

REQUIREMENTS: Int > 12 and Dex > 14

Lich

Liches are undead magical creatures who were not cursed(blessed?) with undeath through the usual means, but instead, through powerful arcane rites, they chose to enspell their bodies in a manner than grants them immortality, and with it, infinite time in which to study/perfect their skills and abilities.

Since the ability to understand and perform intense magical ritual is needed for the transformation from living to lichdom, a high amount of intelligence is required for one to be capible of completing the needed processes.

Since in most cases, the motivation behind such a change is purely ambition, most liches tend to be selfish and evil, so one would expect to find his or her mentors within the dark reaches where evil is usually rooted.

Liches are granted increased resistance to various attacks, the ability to harness and store more magic, and the capibility of reducing the damage sustained from various attack forms.

REQUIREMENTS: Int >= 15
