How Your Class is Represented
In the player stats box, you will see a number of 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 (what as known as the class cap) is capped at 150% for humans and 125% for non-humans. For example, a character with a class cap of 125% could be 80% fighter, 20% rogue and 25% mage - or any combination thereof.
All races can use Shrine of Versatility to raise their class cap to 200%. Leveling at the Shrine of Versatility increases your class cap by 2 skill points per level.
How Classes Relate to Skills
1. Class specific skills belong under one of the following categories: Fighter, Mage, Priest, Monk, Rogue or Necromancer
2. The highest skill from a class category determines the class %
3. The maximum total combined class % points is 150% for humans, and 125% for non-humans.
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.
The Skills belonging to each class category are as follows:
- Fighter skills: Axes, Blocking, Longswords, Maces, Polearms, Tactics
- Rogue skills: Foils, Locks, Ranged, Shortswords, Security (merged Stealth + Traps)
- Mage skills: Magery, Sorcery, Staves
- Priest skills: Blessed maces, Divinity, Piety
- Monk skills: Unarmed, Sanctity
- Necromancer skills: Necromancy, Hexblades, Bonecrafting
- Druid skills: Druidry, Polymorphism
For more detailed information, see: Class Skills.
