Introduction
In EUO there are 7 basic classes: the Fighter, the Mage, the Priest, the Monk, the Necromancer and the Rogue. However, unlike most RPG's, you are not tied to a class when you create your character. Instead, the class(es) a character belongs to are based upon the skills that are developed over time.
Guides to building your character can be found on the forums: http://forums.swut.net/viewforum.php?f=18
The Fighter is a master of melee combat, utilising weapons such as axes, halberds, maces and swords to defeat enemies.
The Mage is a purveyor of magic.
The Monk is an unarmed and unarmoured fighter that also uses the sanctity school of magic to battle his foes.
The Priest is a front line melee combatant that specializes in healing while bludgeoning enemies to death with blessed maces.
The Rogue uses smaller melee weapons such as daggers, foils, and shortswords, as well as ranged weapons, and wears lighter armour when adventuring. Rogues also possess skills in security and stealth. Please refer to the Rogue page.
The Necromancer simultaneously casts dark necromantic magic while slashing his or her foes to pieces with a ritualised blade.
The Druids are a staff wielding "nature" magic class that can shift their character stats and play style through polymorphism and druidry class skills. Druids wielding spell enchanted staffs (eg Crook of VOG) can proc the staff enchantment through their druid spells, while all other mages can only do so through melee attacks.
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, Druid 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, Ranged, Shortswords, Stealth, Security (merged Locks + 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
Class Caps
On each server there is a class skill cap for humans and non-humans. It is different on each server and utilized to multi-class a character for different combinations depending on what the player chooses.
