Priests: Clerics

Divine spellcaster which calls upon the powers of a divine being or concept or power to use magic. Usually, they are tough and battle ready in most medieval societies, oddly to protect their lands from invaders. Lands or parishoners. Clerics can fight on equal terms with most rogues, but cannot match swords with fighters.

Cleric spells usually reflect their diety and are usually limited to codes of honour or such things. Spells are granted by the divine will, so things that are not used to further that will are not granted.

Clerics often use specific weapons because their divine being/power insists on their use or forbides the use of other weapons.

*White Mages are sometimes considered clerics, but they can exist as a type of wizard that specializes in magic similar to a clerics.

Masters of Human Nature: Rogues

The rogue is a capable individual. Usually outlaws, they are the dungeon crawlers and lockpicks that scourage the civilized world for treasure and raid forgotten ruins for ancient relics. They are the ones who stab each other in the back, as well as are experts at dodging harm. They are oppertunistic, and often capable of the strangest things. They are the most experienced interpretures of human ways and often master lying and cheating, as well as detecting and spoting liars and cheaters. The fight fairly profficently, but cannot match blades with a true expert on equal footing, though they are quite harmful to the unweary warrior.

Masters of the Wild: Rangers

Rangers were once humans trained by elves to be protecters of the weak and all around good guys. They are often associated with people who work in the forests and mountains, often as guides and law enforcers. Sometimes, rangers are simply people who... Well, this class covers alot of different things. More or less, a ranger is a fighter who adopts nature into his fighting style, often gaining strange magical buffs to increase his fighting style or ability to travel through the natural world. They are often expert trackers, some of whom can follow the specifically one eyed gobline who passed over that rocky out croppy a week earlier and it snowed yesterday.

Rangers are usually know for fancing melee fighting, using one or two swords, or with long range archery or similar type combat, often firing an ungodly amount of ammuntion rather accurately.

Elemental Magic and the Missconception of Difference

Apparently, Elemental magic is concieved to be the evocation of the elements into a form of attack or impulse or whatever. The problem with view the various types of elements as seperate categories of magic is the inability to explain why it is possible to combine the elements to create new forms of magic.

IF wind mana is applied to fire mana, strange stuff happens. This combination and the similar combinations made between the different elements goes to show that their is some connectivity between each element. The elements offer the base component to the spell, either through access to the elemental plane or through present elemental componets on the material plane enable a spellcaster to reshape them into his liking. It is all the same process of evocation applied to the various elements.

The method is the same, but the source is changed. That does not create a new school of magic, it simply means that you are using a different portal or connection to manipulate the substance. Theoretically, there is no justifiable reason, save inability to connect to a different plane, for a wizard to be able to use one type of elemental magic and not another.

Kelfs

Elf-Cat folk crossbreed. Only three known to exist.

Combat Style Verus Combat Stength.

Style is so much cooler than strength. Brutish tactics only take you so far, but once you get a real grove on, you are unstopable.

Then again, I only manage to win most fights because the weapons I wield are smart enough to know where they need to be, when they need to be there, and my multitude of illusions help... And the gun. The gun is pretty nasty too.

Adamantium

Strongest fantasy metal ever to be establish. Magnetic properties.

Imps

Lesser devil associated with trickery and simply being annoying. Commonly believed to be the weakest of devils, but experience is often a better teacher than texts.

Given time, a single imp can destroy an entire nation simply by playing games and having a good time. Two imps can whip out an entire speices of animal within a hundred years if they are determined to do so.

It is commonly believed that they can be traped, which is a pretty laughable concept. Imps can and often do open their own gateways to other planes for no reason other than they are bored of the one they are on. They will and have opened gates to elemental planes and allowed the destructive atmosphere and creatures enter the prime material plane.

These devils seem childish, but they are usually quite old, ranging from billions to moles of years old.

If a creature's conception time is measured by a fraction of its total life, it has been guessed that an imp is in the womb for about a hundred thousand years. Then again, machines have been built that can construct imps at a rate of two per minute. Such devices are used by stronger devils wishing harm upon those around them.

Imps are simply uncontrollable.

Imp = Self motivated.
