Introduction
In EUO there are 3 basic classes: the Fighter, the Rogue and the Mage. Unlike a lot of other RPG's, you are not tied to a class when you create your character, but rather your class is developed over time as you build your skills.
The Fighter
The fighter is a master of melee combat, utilising weapons such as swords, maces and halberds to defeat his/her enemies.
See also: Fighter Guide
The Rogue
The rogue uses smaller melee weapons such as daggers, shortswords and foils, ranged weapons and wears lighter armour when adventuring. Rogues also possess skills in security and stealth.
See also: Rogue Guide
The Mage
The Mage is a purveyor of magic.

How Your Class is Represented
In the player stats box, you will see 3 lines like this:
Fighter: x% Rogue: y% Mage: z%
The x% / y% / z% represents the percentage of each class you currently are. The total combined class % points is 125% for humans, and 100% for non humans. Eg, a human character could be 80% fighter, 20% rogue and 25% mage - or any combination thereof.
How Classes Relate to Skills
- Class specific skills belong under one of the three class categories: Fighter, Rogue and Mage
- A class's highest skill level determines the class %
- The total combined class % points is 125% for humans, and 100% for non humans.
Some examples of which skills belong which classes:
- Fighter skills: Maces, axes, polearms, longswords and tactics
- Rogue skills: Shortswords, foils, ranged, locks, traps, stealth
- Mage skills: Magery, sorcery, piety
For example, if you have stealth at 20%, magery at 50% and longswords at 30%, then you will be 20% Rogue, 50% mage and 30% Fighter.

Developing Your Classes
It is generally agreed upon that you are better off simply maximising all the Class Skills in just one class.
Since humans get an extra 25% in addition to a full class, they can effectively multi class to some extent. A fighter with 25% in magery will be able to cast the light spell for example. By meditating at the Shrine of Versatility, the human character can expand their class cap beyond 125% all the way to 200%, meaning they can maximise their class skills fully in two classes!
Class Skills are Limited by Stats
This means that the % in a skill is capped by it's governing stat (eg str/dex/int). Not all skills have a governing stat, and not all skills are wholly governed by a single stat.
Most class skills have minimum stat requirements. All the non-class skills, with the exception of Enchanting, don't have stat requirements.
The stat requirements to get 100 % points in a skill are:
foils : 100 DEX shortwords: 25 STR 75 DEX ranged: 25 STR 75 DEX longswords: 50 STR 50 DEX unarmed: 50 STR 50 DEX axes : 75 STR 25 DEX polearms: 90 STR 10 DEX maces : 90 STR 10 DEX stealth: 100 DEX traps: 100 DEX locks: 100 DEX magery: 100 INT sorcery: 100 INT piety: 100 INT
