Make up a class...
« on: October 25, 2004, 05:13:45 pm »
Since planeshift has no classes we can all make up our own ones. Here are a couple non-traditional classes I have thought of:

Mage Slayer:
A class dedicated to the destruction of all magic, or at least to  the killing of mage enemies of his or her guild. Antimagic is of course very important, and then something to kill with. Melee Skills, Assasin Skills, Ranged Skills or maybe even offensive magic.

Spy:
Self explanatory. Very good stealth skills. A little bit of everything so that he can infiltrate mostly any guild or organisation. Tailor might be a good job since there might be need to change clothes very often to avoid being recognized. It would be very hard to enter a guild if this class became common. :) At least if the guild is mostly in-game without a homepage and so on.


Do you have any ideas of untraditional classes?

Paladin:

Skilled in heavy armors as well as shield usage. Weapon choice depends on player. Other areas of interest are Endurance and Body Development. Player may also choose to have some skill in magic/healing.

Paladin, druid? Oh dear! I said non-traditional classes, everyone have seen paladins and druids in mmorpgs before. Be creative and take advantage of the possibility to create your own unique class with your own way of working to achieve your goals.

I really appreciate someone is trying to keep order in these forums, Gronomist, but this was not about ideas for the development of the game. It is not like I wish for anything of this as it already exists! This is about how we choose to play the game and do belong in the general discussion forum in lack of a better place.

Oh... and nice idea Xordan but I think it would be too boring.

And here we have a perfect example of bigotry. :] \"To further our goals of destroying all magic, we of course use magic!\" Just as with almost any other group. :P

Hehe just read that...
So in essence a MageSlayer would be out to destroy itself if it used Offensive Magic.
Hmmm not a class I would like to play  :P

16 year old:

Whatever Seperot puts :D


*Hides from Moogie*

Okay, lets see

Evil Genius:

A highly magical character who sits back watching his minions doing all the work until the hero comes and finaly gets to the genius in which case there is a big duel in which the hero believes he wins even though the genius escapes and makes the building blow up.  Alchemist.

Might as well add that I think I may become a magicaly enclined alchemist in the game....no reason...:D

First... Well, I\'m the moderator so that\'s my decision whether or not it belongs in the General Discussion forum. Second, the wish list isn\'t simply for wishes, it\'s for game idea discussions. If the ideas are for the final game, or simply ideas doesn\'t matter. This is where they belong.

As for the untraditional classes... There\'s no way you can say a druid is a very ordinary class and you\'ve seen it so often it makes you puke. I\'m sure you\'ve seen someone play a druid character, but not play as a druid. Get what I mean? :)

Beggar: Sits on the street being a bum and begging for money

Actually I was semi-considering being the town drunkard.  Maybe he can be my alt.



Falconer

Trains falcons to aid in combat and to hunt small game.  Knows some healing/nature magic, but has more skill in the use of ordinary weapons (sword, shield, etc).


Mage Falconer

Trains/summons falcons to aid in combat, and to enhance their magical powers.  Can specialize in any of the ways of magic and has a different falcon/group of falcons that can be trained/summoned to use/enhance that way of magic.  I know, there\'s a lot of slashes in there, sorry.  This class could be generalized more to include more than just falcons, maybe a different animal/pet for each way, but I\'d choose which ever one has a falcon \'cause falcons rock.  This is the direction I hope to take my character (though obviously I may have to settle for something other than a falcon).

Seytra, it scares me how often you and I think alike.
I was all set to point out the bigotry... read further and you did! I do have another point though.
Wizard Killer, is a set of the fighter class of AD&D...
Wizard Killer, Mage Slayer... dun dun dunnn.
Spies are very traditional.

I was thinking Braggart...
Sits around in taverns all day telling boastful (artificial) stories and getting others to buy them drinks for a story.
As far as I know it\'s original, and I\'d be really good at it, as I love to make up stupid things (such as this class).
