Character creation

Character creation consists of five steps:
 * 1) Gender
 * 2) Class
 * 3) Race
 * 4) Blessing
 * 5) Name

Gender
A character's gender does not affect their gameplay and may be anything the player prefers.

Classes
There are five playable classes: Knight, Archer, Rogue, Wizard, and Cleric. Class affects a character's abilities, their weapons, their armor and armor class, and general play style.

Knight
Knights are fearless warriors adorned with unbreakable armor and brute strength. They wield their weapons as extensions of their will and charge headfirst into combat without a second thought.

Archer
Archers are masters of long-range warfare. They are deadly at a distance, but are also capable fighters in close combat, utilizing traps and poisons to hinder and overpower their targets.

Rogue
Rogues are a lethal combination of vicious and cunning, using small blades and wicked tactics to gain the upper hand. They walk in the shadows, never allowing themselves to be seen until it is too late for their prey.

Wizard
Wizards are keepers of ancient, arcane wisdom. Years of studying mystic texts and old runic scriptures has taught them the ways of the elements, which they can conjure and bend to their will.

Cleric
Clerics are the protectors of justice and righteousness. They use the power of the gods to heal their allies and harm their foes. Their unyielding courage is admired and welcomed by many.

Races
There are four races that can be chosen from: Human, Dwarf, Elf, and Goblin. Each race has its own unique trait benefits, as well as race-specific abilities.

Humans
Humans are the valiant people of the west, known for their stout fortresses and thirst for conquest. Although they are the newest race to inhabit a large portion of Olde, they have quickly become the most advanced in many aspects.
