PC Classes

There are three universal classes that are open to everyone without restriction: Fighter, Rogue, and Elemental Sorcerer. There are also five restricted classes, one for each race, whose abilities are derived from the powers of Spirit Magic: Berzerker, Forest Guardian, Mantis, Paragon, and Warlock. There are no other classes.

Berzerker

The ork ancestors have tapped into the powers of Spirit Magic to allow orks to channel their anger directly into strength. The followers of the path of rage are called Berzerkers.

Use standard Barbarian rules for Berzerkers, except as listed below.

Only orks may be Berzerkers.
Ignore alignment restrictions for Berzerkers.

Elemental Sorcerer

The lands of the Blue Moon are rich in magic, and the presence of Elemental Sorcerers is an accepted fact. All races have those who are practised in the art of calling upon the elemental forces.

Use standard Sorcerer rules for Elemental Sorcerers, except as listed below.

No Familiar special ability.
Elemental Sorcerers use their own spell list, based on the caster's personal elemental aspect, rather than the standard spell list. See the magic page for exact spell lists.
Elemental Sorcerers may learn bonus spells in the following way. If an elemental sorcerer kills a monster with the same aspect, and recovers its elemental crystal, and no one used magic on the monster during the encounter, the he may make a Spellcraft check with DC = 15 + spell level to gain the monster's spell ability. The monster's elemental crystal is destroyed regardless of whether the check succeeded or not. There are some elemental sorcery spells that can only be learned in this manner.

Fighter

The world is a dangerous place and all races spend some time on martial training.

Forest Guardian

The ancestor spirits of the goblins were too few to help the goblins free themselves from the bondage of the Blue Moon Empire, so they bargained with the spirits of the Bloodwood trees for aid. The Bloodwood trees had been nearly eradicated in the Empire’s ever–increasing hunger for exotic luxuries. In return for replanting the Bloodwood forests and guarding them from harm, the tree spirits would lend the magic of the woods to the goblins’ struggle for freedom. That bargain is still being honored today.

Use standard Druid rules for Forest Guardians, except as listed below.

Only goblins may be Forest Guardians.
Ignore alignment restrictions for Forest Guardians.

Mantis

The human ancestor spirits, hearing the suffering of their descendents under the cruel elven rule, tapped the magic powers of the spirit to give them aid. The result is the Mantis, a human who has learned to turn the Spirit Magic inward, enhancing himself physically and mentally, becoming all but immune to the baleful elven magics.

Use standard Monk rules for Mantises, except as listed below.

Only humans may be Mantises.
The Stunning Attack and Quivering Palm abilities are considered to be Thunder effects.
The path of the Mantis requires frequent training. If a Mantis character ever gains two non–Mantis class levels in a row, he forever loses the ability to gain more Mantis levels.
Ignore alignment restrictions for Mantises.

Paragon

The dwarves, struggling under elven oppression, called to their ancestor spirits for help. The ancestors turned to the forces of Spirit Magic to empower their children as Paragons, forces of strength, virtue, and light.

Use standard Paladin rules for Paragons, except as listed below.

Only dwarves can be Paragons.
Instead of Detect Evil, Paragons have Detect Dark.
Instead of Smite Evil, Paragons have Smite Dark.
Instead of Special Mount, Paragons have Familiar.
Ignore Code of Conduct requirements.
Ignore restrictions on Associates.
Ignore alignment restrictions for Paragons.
Paragon training requires an unusual amount of dedication. If a Paragon character ever gains two non–Paragon class levels in a row, he forever loses the ability to gain more Paragon levels.

Rogue

Warlock

The ancestor spirits of the elves were the first to learn how to tap the hidden powers of the spirit world, and thus did the elven Warlocks learn how to work wonders undreamt of by mere Elemental Sorcerers.
