That's true, but you can buy handcannons from the smithy at the Marketplace, and bombs are very cheap and commonly found in quests. Compared to the ability to cause ranged elemental damage to all enemies with every hit, I'd say that's a low price to pay. You should be more concerned about the Minstrel, who uses a weapon type that hasn't even been introduced in this game yet. I will add a fauxthril instrument to the Marketplace before anyone hits Level 30, though. Since most of these classes use restricted weapon types, it will be impossible to change into that class before you've acquired a suitable weapon. Of course. It was just an undeliberate omission.

Here's the long awaited list of Expert Job Classes. Please note that at this stage these are all subject to change, so if you find some faults in them, please let me know. Great reputation among the Hinckwells: These crafty singers tamper the flow of the battle with their songs. • Additional Health: +11 • Additional Ether: +4 (+1 per level for classes without base ether) • Weapons: Minstrels wield various resonating instruments in battle. They can also use scrolls. • Job Traits: Diplomacy (see Knight), Flee (see Rogue), Battle Songs – Instead of fighting, the minstrel can sing enchanted songs that boost the party’s performance (see List of Battle Songs for reference) • Battle Style: Musical – Minstrels fight with the power of music. 1. SHIELD: Sound of Music – The minstrel gets inspired by the moment and sings a random Battle Song without depleting ether (see List of Battle Songs). 2. CACOPHONY: The minstrel plays an impressionistic tune that damages all enemies with strength equal to their weapon power added to their level and stuns them for the next round. (e.g. WP 15 + Level 30 = 45 damage + stunned-effect to all enemies) 3. DISCHORD: The minstrel plays a wrong note, damaging the target with strength equal to their weapon power added to their level and stuns it for the next round. (e.g. WP 15 + Level 30 = 45 damage + stunned-effect) 4. CHEER UP: The minstrel raises spirits, regaining 5 ether. 5. DAMAGE: The minstrel is struck by the opponent’s attack. 6. SPECIAL DAMAGE: The minstrel is struck by the opponent’s special skill. List of Battle Songs: Instead of fighting, minstrels can choose one song to sing for a varying cost of ether. Sealed-effect prevents singing. Minstrels can learn new songs during their travels. (Kudos to Xarrzan for inspiration on these!) Nanny's Lullaby – Makes all enemies fall asleep for as long as the song is sung. Costs 1 ether per round. Ballad of Bravery – Doubles the attack power of the rest of the party for as long as the song is sung. Costs 3 ether per round. Rapid March – Allows two turns per round for the rest of the party for as long as the song is sung. Costs 3 ether per round. Lucky Chant – Improves the battle results of the rest of the party for as long as the song is sung (the die is rolled twice per turn, and the better result is used). Costs 3 ether per round. Love Serenade – Restores 10 health per round to the rest of the party for as long as the song is sung. Costs 5 ether per round. Esoteric Melody – Restores 5 ether per round to the rest of the party for as long as the song is sung. Costs 5 ether per round. Hard Rock Anthem – Gives 10 SP to the rest of the party for as long as the song is sung. Costs 5 ether per round. Angelic Aria – Causes light-elemental damage equal to the minstrel’s level to all enemies per round for as long as the song is sung. Costs 10 ether per round. Dirge of the Phoenix – Revives all knocked out allies with 1 health for as long as the song is sung. Costs 10 ether per round. Great reputation among the Shadeaux: These cavaliers are accompanied by a dragon that grows with them. • Additional Health: +15 • Weapons: Dragoons can only wield polearms like halberds, lances and spears, but they can also use shields. • Job Traits: Diplomacy (see Knight), Pet Dragon – The dragoon has a pet dragon that can fly to scout, carry messages or retrieve items for them; Dragon Tamer – The dragoon can communicate with dragons to gain information and prevent them from attacking. • Battle Style: Draconian – Dragoons are aided by their pet dragon in battles. 1. SHIELD: Dragon’s Wrath – The dragoon unleashes their pet dragon on the target. The effect depends on the maturity of the dragon (see Pet Dragon). 2. HIGH ASSAULT: The dragoon jumps into the air and hovers there aided by their dragon until the next round, avoiding all damage. On the next round the dragoon lands on the target with strength equal to five times their weapon power added to their level. (e.g. WP 15 x 5 + Level 30 = 105 damage) 3. HIT: The dragoon attacks the target with strength equal to their weapon power added to their level. (e.g. WP 15 + Level 30 = 45 damage) 4. DRAGON AID: The dragoon misses their attack, but the pet dragon hits the target instead with strength equal to its level. If the dragon’s elemental property has manifested, the attack is elemental. 5. DEFENDED DAMAGE: The dragoon is struck by the opponent’s attack. The power of the dragoon’s shield decreases the effect of the attack. (e.g. 30 damage – SP 15 = 15 damage) 6. SPECIAL DAMAGE: The dragoon is struck by the opponent’s special skill. Pet Dragon: All new dragoons are given a dragon egg that soon hatches, revealing their personal pet dragon. The dragon gets attached to the dragoon, who in turn gives it a name. The dragon’s level is equal to its master, and it grows along with the dragoon. At certain intervals, it gets new abilities. Level 30: The dragon is but a hatchling, only able to fly short distances and carry light loads. It is roughly the size of a cat. Dragon’s Wrath: Petit Breath – The dragon’s breath damages up to two enemies with strength equal to two times their level (e.g. Level 30 x 2 = 60 damage to up to two enemies) Level 40: The dragon is a youngling, and begins to showcase an elemental property. It can now fly further and faster, and can carry heavy items. It is roughly the size of a wolf. Dragon’s Wrath: Elemental Breath – The dragon’s elemental breath damages up to three enemies with strength equal to three times their level (e.g. Level 40 x 3 = 120 elemental damage to up to three enemies) If the hero becomes a dragoon for the first time at this stage, there is a 1/4 chance that the dragon disobeys orders and does not perform Dragon's Wrath. Level 50: The dragon has reached adulthood, and can now carry the dragoon on its back for long distances. It is roughly the size of a horse. Dragon’s Wrath: Unison Assault – The dragoon rider damages the target with strength equal to their weapon power added to their level, while the dragon’s elemental breath damages up to four enemies with strength equal to four times their level (e.g. WP 15 + Level 50 (Dragoon) = 65 damage to one enemy; Level 50 x 4 (Dragon) = 200 elemental damage to up to four enemies) If the hero becomes a dragoon for the first time at this stage, there is a 1/2 chance that the dragon disobeys orders and does not perform Dragon's Wrath. Level 90: The dragon is now an elder, having reached its maximum size equal to a mammoth. It can carry an entire party on its back for as long as necessary. Dragon’s Wrath: Celestial Force – The elder dragon swoops up the entire party on its back, and together they damage all enemies with their combined power. Each party member damages one enemy with strength equal to their weapon power added to their level, and the elder dragon’s elemental breath damages all enemies with strength equal to five times their level (e.g. WP 15 + Level 90 (Party Member A) = 105 damage to first enemy; WP 15 + Level 80 (Party Member B) = 95 damage to second enemy; WP 15 + Level 70 (Party Member C) = 85 damage to third enemy; Level 90 x 5 (Dragon) = 450 elemental damage to all enemies) If the hero becomes a dragoon for the first time at this stage, there is a 3/4 chance that the dragon disobeys orders and does not perform Dragon's Wrath. Great reputation among the Ziegfrieds: These corrupt mages hold reign over death. • Additional Health: +5 • Additional Ether: +5 (+1 per level for classes without base ether) • Weapons: Necromancers use various imposing and magical weapons in battle, such as broomsticks, greatswords, maces, scythes, staves, wands and whips. They can also use gems and scrolls. • Job Traits: Healing (see Cleric), Spellcasting (see Mage), Spiritism – The necromancer can communicate with the spirits of the deceased to gain information. • Battle Style: Death-defying – Necromancers can raise an army of undead corpses. 1. SHIELD: Raising The Undead – The necromancer summons the corpses of all fallen enemies to join their side in battle. The undead keep the level of the original enemy, but they can only attack with darkness-elemental attacks with strength equal to their level once per round as commanded by the necromancer. The undead cannot be damaged and once raised they will follow the necromancer from battle to battle, but if the necromancer is knocked out, all the undead will disappear. The undead will automatically disappear at the end of each quest. 2. AMPLIFIED HIT/AMPLIFIED SPELL/HEAL MORE: The necromancer attacks or spends 1 ether to cast an elemental spell with strength equal to their weapon power added to their level multiplied by the amount of undead raised. Instead of attacking or casting a spell, the necromancer can spend 1 ether to restore health to themselves or one of their allies equal to the power of their critical attack. (e.g. WP 15 x 3 undead raised + Level 30 = 75 (elemental) damage or restore 75 health) 3. HIT/SPELL/HEAL: The necromancer attacks or spends 1 ether to cast an elemental spell with strength equal to their weapon power added to their level. Instead of attacking, the necromancer can spend 1 ether to restore health to themselves or one of their allies equal to the power of their attack. (e.g. WP 15 + Level 30 = 45 (elemental) damage or restore 45 health) 4. MEDITATE/HEAL LESS: The necromancer meditates to regain 1 ether. Instead of meditating, the necromancer can spend 1 ether to restore health to themselves or one of their allies equal to their level. 5. DAMAGE/NO HEALING: The necromancer is struck by the opponent’s attack. Optionally, any attempt of healing fails. 6. SPECIAL GUARD/NO HEALING: The necromancer is struck by the opponent’s special skill, but has a 50/50 chance to be protected from any negative effects caused by it.

SHIELD: Barrage – The cannoneer picks three bombs randomly from their stock and fires them at the opponents, causing elemental damage to all enemies equal to their weapon power added to their level with each hit. (e.g. WP 15 + Level 30 + Bomb = 45 elemental damage to all enemies per hit) The bombs are consumed. If the cannoneer has less than three bombs in stock, they will cause normal damage to the targeted enemy with the remaining hits. 2. CRITICAL HIT/GREAT BOMBARD: The cannoneer attacks with strength equal to two times their weapon power added to their level. (e.g. WP 15 x 2 + Level 30 = 60 damage) Optionally, the cannoneer can load their cannon with a bomb, causing elemental damage to all enemies equal to two times their weapon power added to their level.

SPECIAL DAMAGE: The cannoneer is struck by the opponent’s special skill.

SHIELD: Mixture – The alchemist can mix ingredients together for a surprising result (See the List of Mixtures for reference). 2.

Instead of attacking, the alchemist can spend 1 ether to restore health to themselves or one of their allies equal to the power of their critical attack.

In that case it depends on what the actual skills are. Remember that an expert class should focus on one field of expertise, not be an all around master of everything (that's left for the master classes). Sorry, things get easily lost in this topic, and I don't really have the time to reply to absolutely everything. At least the "eternally poisoned weapon that also poisons other weapons" seems somewhat pointless. I don't think anyone would use it as a weapon (since it can't be upgraded), just as an endless source of poisoning. I'd rather see players spending their gold on Venoms. I have previously talked about not making weapons and artefacts too complicated. It's beginning to strip down the uniqueness of such items when every other item has some sort of complicated mechanic in how it works.

You mean expert class heroes, right? Just like with enemies that have multiple specials, you'd have to figure out how the multiple shield skills would be played out (in which order or in which situations, for example). Remember that a player cannot choose to use a shield skill, it all depends how the die rolls.

The door was opened and Zelda Ziegfried stepped in, holding her wand up. Her two grandsons appeared behind the hole in the wall. Seeing the whole pedestal gone and the floor littered with bodies Zelda gasped audibly. "That was a bold move on their part, I must say!" "Sorry we couldn't help you out in the battle, we were both knocked out by the blast." "Can you please explain what happened to the Zirconia?" All three Ziegfrieds looked at the heroes, baffled by this turn of events.

"Hahaha! I shee you haven't met a Phlegman before. Go ahead, shlit my throat. You'll regret it - briefly."

Results of Round Ten of the Bunnies & Kittens Battle: >Althior (Darkness) vs. Daffyd - Shield (Magical Vortex of Fire) >Benji (Crossbow) vs. Daffyd - Hit >Alexis uses Potion on herself vs. Daffyd - Damage Ocven vs. Daffyd >Alexis vs. Daffyd - Special Damage (Effective Thievery) Daffyd - Free Hit against Althior Althior conjures a magical vortex that causes 26 fire-elemental damage to Daffyd and restores up to 26 health to the party. Benji hits Daffyd with his crossbow for 54 damage. Alexis is already at full health, so instead of consuming a potion she targets Daffyd instead, but gets struck again for 12 damage. Ocven causes 19 damage to the burglar again, draining Alexis of 1 ether. Daffyd then uses effective thievery on Alexis, assuming her hastened-effect. Alexis keeps the effect as well due to its permanent nature. The hastened Daffyd gets a free hit on Althior, causing 8 damage. Then the burglar suffers the effect of his curse, and the aura-effect fades. One enemy remains, but the party is weakened.

Daffyd attacks Althior once more for 8 damage, bringing the sage close to getting knocked out. Ocven sprays Daffyd with ice for 19 damage. Alexis aims at Pepper for 10 damage, then performs a summon burst with Ocven, taking out the kitten and causing 19 more damage to Daffyd. Daffyd suffers the effect of curse again. Only one enemy remains, so the battle will continue automatically.

Althior recovers 18 health. Daffyd causes 12 damage to Alexis, who consequently summons Ocven again. Daffyd's maximum health is decreased again.

The rogues return to the Grove of the Forsaken where they encountered Count Shadeaux on the previous night. Now it was occupied by a suspicious fellow dressed in gaudy purple. His entire body was composed of green ooze, making his movements fluid and bendy. "Ah, more cushtomersh! Have you boysh come to browshe my waresh? I asshure you that Shlim Yshcum offersh only the finesht tripsh to the shubconshcious. And of courshe the firsht batch is free of charge. Wanna shee what I've got?" The slimy man looked at the party expectantly.

You can always go back to a previous class, whether from expert to advanced, from advanced to basic, or from expert to basic, just as long as you don't change your basic class.

Oh, right! My subconsciousness apparently dug up the idea from that class.

I already explained the Master classes in the R&D-topic. There's three of them: Mimes combine the powers of all six basic classes, without adding anything new to them. Anyone can choose to be one after reaching Level 50. Paragons are hybrids of knights, barbarians and rogues, with some unique job traits and bad-megablocks battle skills. The class is only open to original knights, barbarians and rogues after Level 50. Prophets are likewise hybrids of mages, clerics and rangers, with some original flair in them. And likewise, this class is only open to original mages, clerics and rangers after Level 50. The expert classes are totally unique, and none of their special skills or traits carry over to the master classes. Nobody will force you to choose any of these three classes, though, you can always stick with any class that suits you the best.

Looks better now, especially with the addition of making their polearms throwable, but still somewhat underwhelming. I think the Shield-skill bothers me most, now. What if the Skirmisher rolls a Shield while the Phalanx is still in effect? Will it be wasted, or will the effect's duration be extended? Also, could their dependence on being a part of a larger force be emphasized? What if they would get extra attack power equal to the size of their party? So the damage they cause would be WP + Level + party size.

Well, not really. Only QMs can give expert job classes to other players, and only if I've approved the job class. I just felt I needed to comment on Flipz's and palathadric's creations too, out of fairness. I'm not stopping anyone from throwing ideas in the air, as long as nobody overdoes it.

Umm... no. Just no. The Beast Rider has potential, but the descriptions are lackluster and leave too much for interpretation. The Arcani shows that you still lack the required knowledge about the game mechanics, and the third one must be just a joke.

Wow... This class is simple, powerful and fun - exactly what it should be. Just add one more job trait and a list of usable equipment, and I have no qualms in approving it. Now you just have to think of a faction who would give out this class.

I think the idea of having a class that defends and buffs other players fits well as an expert class, but your class has some problems that might make it an undesirable choice for players. Here's some pointers: - I'd like to repeat that an expert class does not have to be acquired by getting a great reputation among a faction. It can also be given as a reward from a quest, as a gift to an accomplished player or something else like that. - Weapons: In order to avoid confusion, you should stick to the official weapon types listed in the rules, or make up a new weapon type that can only be used by that class. Coincidentally, my Dragoon-class can also equip only polearms and shields. - Job Traits: Like I said earlier, expert classes can (and should) have three job traits. "Subordinate" is a very unappealing trait, although I understand it from a roleplaying perspective. It should at least be countered with two powerful traits. - Battle Style: As I said, the encouraging effect of the class should be a job trait. But why isn't the Skirmisher affected by it? That's another unattractive thing about the class. - Shield (Phalanx): Even a Level 1 knight can protect the entire party from all damage with Sentinel, and this is only half as good as that. Shield-skills should be something coveted, that the players will wait for to happen in a battle. - Defend: I actually like this skill, but it's basically just a weaker version of the Shield skill (making the Shield-skill look even less special). So in my opinion your class needs a lot more "oomph" to it to make it appealing to players and a worthy choice for a Level 30 player. In this form it's so underwhelming that I cannot approve it into the game, I'm sorry to say. While I'd want to see an Engineer-class in the game, there's some distinct problems with this version: Firstly, the class has no special powers. When you think about it, the construct only has the very basic battle skills (save for the Shield-skill that carries over), none of which are even a nod to its mechanical nature. It has a personal healer who is also a great liability by being able to damage the construct (remember that clerics and other healers cannot damage the person they try to heal). The class is further debilitated with the construct's elemental properties and immunity to items. There's simply no way for the class to do anything special in a battle. Secondly, the Engineer's lack of health poses a serious problem when it comes to game mechanics. The QMs would constantly have to consider how to take this class into consideration in different situations. None of the other players can even help the engineer in a battle (since items, effects and healing would't work), so the player would be on their own even in a party. Even the engineer's job trait is something that will be dependent on the QMs if it will ever be useful in a quest. There's just too many issues - the lack of power and the problems with the health being the main ones - for me to approve this class yet, either. Sorry!

There's a list of my expert classes somewhere (most likely R&D), but only their names (which are Minstrel, Dragoon, Necromancer, Cannoneer, Alchemist, Chi Monk and Beast Warrior). I will publish the full details of each class soon. So far there's only one expert class made by someone else that I have officially approved, and that's Scuba's Infiltrator-class.
