Player's Guide: Character Classes

Character Classes of Hyerune

Once you have chosen your character's race, it is time to select from the follwing table which character class you wish to train in. A brief description of each of the available classes can be found after each name. For further information, please consult the Player's Handbook published by Wizards of the Coast. Information on the 'ecomancer' can be found by clicking on the link (once it is available). If you choose to play an ecomancer, remember to consult with your DM before making your final selection.

Which character class is the most powerful? Well, in truth, none of them. In fairness to all players, each class has its own strengths and its own set of weaknesses. Each class has the potential to become powerful but that is up to you as the player to unlock your character's skills and abilities. It is because of this fact that it is important to work together with other characters and rely on a team in order to make the most out of your adventures and gain the greatest glory! If you are having a hard time deciding which character class to choose, speak with your DM and tell them what you are looking to gain from this experience of playing Dungeons & Dragons. Perhaps the DM may help offer some suggestions to help in your decision.
