    Perception is how well somebody notices the world around them.

    Edit: Totally just noticed how many Pegasus Rogues there are.
    I was a thief before it was cool.

    Woot! New Character thread! Now it's so much easier to look at stats when I forget! :D

    Say, should my character have that red gem thinger listed in his saddlebag/inventory? Or is this just what we started out with?

    This is what you started with, but good eye, I should add that. This is supposed to be "current."

    Yikes, compared to the other thieves my character looks like garbage.

    Nopony's quite as good at getting away though, right? It's the way the level purchase system works. I got you the maximum levels of Lock Picking and Picking Pockets as possible. It'll come in handy later in the game. You can pick up skills like acrobatics and beguile by attempting them in game, but rogue's skills are only able to be learned by mastering your class and going to another class under the rogue tree. The base class is the only time you can choose what amount of skill levels you have and can distribute them, and only if you start as a rogue.

    So, you've got a leg up in picking pockets and locks from the others. Plus, you're the only one hiding your own lock picks.​

    As an adventurer, there are many ways in which to earn CP. Adventurers may earn CP in any way that any other base class may also earn CP. They can fight, cast magic, use their limited amount of roguish skills, and even succeed in knowledge-based acts. However, their required CP to class up is 50 in total.

    In other words, pretty much everything you do will get you a class point, but you also need more points than other classes to class up.

    Not a problem.

    For gaming-related questions, consider me Eight Star's apprentice.

    Eight Star's Apprentice?

    Isn't that canon?
    :derpe:​


    Anyway... for base class CP gain to advance to another class:
    (26) Fighters - Defeat Opponents in Combat
    (20) Peasents - Complete a Day of Work Without Failure
    (30) Apprentice - Successfully Apply a Spell Cast Usefully
    (36) Psycher - Successfully Apply a Psycher Power Usefully, or Level Up a Psycher Power
    (30) Rogue - Succeed at Any of Your Rogue Skills
    (26) Strider - Out-Run Danger, Win Races, Train-Up Speed, Dodge Deadly Traps
    (28) Scout - Finding Secrets, Noticing Ambushes, Locating Objectives, Pre-Emptively Discovering Encounters
    (40) Student - Training Up Knowledge, Training Up Knowledge-Based Skills, Learning New Misc. Skills
    (50) Adventurer - Like Any of the Above

    See, that's 9 base classes to choose from. After mastery, you can actually move to another base class, or go up into the tree your base class is at the "base" of. They're called base, 'cause they're like the trunk of a tree. The tiers are the upwards spreading branches. (No, not like a pine tree, like a maple tree or something.)

    There are even classes that require multiple classes to be mastered. Like Battle Mage, which is a class that requires you first master both Fighter & Apprentice. After Battle Mage is War Mage, which requires mastery of Battle Mage, and Battler & Mage, which are all tier two classes. However, War Mage is tier four, so it's like skipping a tier.

    The book that's soon to be release to the public, however, only has the Strength-Based, Magic-Based, Stealth-Based, Knowledge-Based, and Rounded class trees. You all get to play with all 9 trees, (lucky you.)

    Because of this, I can't provide much branching information on Psychers, Scouts, Striders, or Peasents. I only have one straight shoot for each of them. All of the other trees are quite spread out.​

    Is there a tier 2+ for a performer or a bard or anything like that description? If so thats what I'm aiming to level up to :derpe:

    Yes, I know there's a Performer class for Tier 2 Scout, but there's also Dancer, Bard, Gypsy, etc, etc, under Adventurer which can use music and other such things to inspire the rest of the party.

    Awesome! So can you give us these trees? I would love to read them all. :D

    Edit: But I don't need to. Just, y'know, yeah. If it's fine with you.

    Is Tier 2 alright? That's only one step up, but at least it's a glance ahead.​

    Base
    Fighter - "Trolls?! I hate trolls! LEMME AT 'EM!"

    Second Tier
    Battler - The rounded fighter taking another step up.
    Guard - A more defense-based character. This is getting released initially as a Strength-Based, but it's actually an Endurance-Based class.
    Martial Artist - A character more focused on finess and skill-usage.
    Squire - A balanced character strength/endurance wise, with a boost in knowledge and perception. Better at social interactions.
    Base
    Apprentice - "The path to mastery of magic is long and hard, but I'm up for the challenge."

    Second Tier
    Mage - Magic-caster... honestly.
    Temple Healer - A character who has pledged their service to a good deity. They focus mostly on defensive and healing or anti-undead magic.
    Dread Acolyte - A character pledged to a dark deity. They focus mainly on hurting or controlling of others, and sometimes the control of undead.
    Base
    Rogue - "Movie Ninja? Not quite..."

    Second Tier
    Burglar - Skillful at entering dungeons and disabling traps or finding secrets. They gain bonuses for working with adventuring parties.
    Infiltrator - Skillful in the art of sneaking in, and out. Gaining bonuses to sneak, hide, finding traps and secrets, and picking locks.
    Rogue Chaser - Good at going against rogues, they gain some of the "good" rogue skills, like detect lie, and disarm weapon. They also excel at finding traps and secrets, as well as disarming traps.
    Thief - They're good at picking pockets and locks. They also have a little more in sneaking and hiding, and gain a more difficult to obtain skill; Copy.
    Thug - Skilled at hiding out and then ambushing people. They gain bonuses to critical blow, hiding, and the more prestegious assassinate and detect lie.
    Base
    Student - "Algebra... Calculus... Biology," Draebin laments with a groan. "I should've paid more attention in class. This overnight cramming stuff is killing me!"

    Second Tier
    Driver - Skilled at... driving. From boats to spacecraft, this is where it starts.
    Firestarter - A budding arson. You can get to this class by completing rogue first if you want, instead of student.
    Tinkerer - The ability to mess with items isn't exactly prestigous. Though, this is where inventors start themselves off.
    Nurse - Well, a doctor's gotta start somewhere.
    Shooter - With skill in firing mechanical fire-arms. From crossbows to plasma rifles.
    N00b Hacker - For your budding hacker needs.
    Base
    Adventurer - "What do I wanna specialize in? Umm... I dunno!"

    Second Tier
    Body for Hire - With a bonus to getting more money from paying jobs. A well-rounded mercenary can do anything.
    Dancer - Able to inspire his or her team members with dances during rest periods that will stick with them for the next whole day. This is probably going to end up in the Speed-Based classes once they're out, but it's more of a support class.
    Hunter - With the ablity to track, and take out targets at long range. Probably going into the Perception-Based classes once they're out, but we're not so sure.
    Wanderer - Basically Adventurer 2.0. They gain CP like any other 2nd tier class.
    Second Tier
    Battle Mage - A mixture of Fighter and Apprentice. Okay?

    Third Tier
    Witch Blade - A mixture of Mage and Infiltrator to make quite the deadly killer.

    Fourth Tier
    War Mage - A mix of Battler, Mage, and Battle Mage to make a hard-to-stop character who can best most opponents in one-on-one confrontation.

    Nice amount of options, but to increase to another class you must also find someone who has already mastered the class you want to enter to teach that class to you.​

    I noticed how you mentioned battle mages. Is there something like that, some combination of the Knowledge and Magic class? Cause that's what I'd be aiming for.
