Anger

Unique to Soldiers, Anger represents a "build up" for the Soldier, allowing them to execute special actions. By default a Soldier's anger is empty, but it rises as the soldier engages in combat.

THE RANGER

Rangers are masters of ranged combat and field control. They are blessed with a natural empathy that allows them to not only read, but to control the emotions of others around them.  As children, these natural empaths are often overcome by the emotional energy of large crowds, and become runaways, seeking refuge in the far ranges of Alganon. Learning to survive in these harsh conditions provides these Rangers with a unique set of abilities and talents that make them powerful defenders of the Empire.

Toxins

Many rangers control the battlefield by use of toxins they can apply to arrows and other weapons. These toxins allow them to perform a large variety of actions, ranging from slows, to damage over time, to debuffs, to crowd control. A ranger is limited on the number of toxins she can apply at one time, so a skilled Ranger plans her attacks in advance, choosing the right toxin for the right target.

Presence

Due to their natural empathy, Rangers are masters of non-verbal communication. Rangers can make subtle changes to their body language (presence), allowing them to enhance the abilities of their allies or to place their enemies at a disadvantage. While a Ranger can only maintain a single presence at a time, this advantage is often the difference between life and death.

Natural Remedies

Rangers have learned to utilize the flora of the wilds to create natural remedies that can heal themselves and their allies. They can apply salves to cleanse status effects, apply bandages to heal wounds, and utilize other natural remedies to heal wounded comrades.

SPECIALIZATIONS

The core of a Ranger lies in their ability to influence and control their opponents and allies. They can use abilities such as cover shot and misdirection to control who an enemy is most likely to attack. Their leg shot can reduce the movement speed of their opponents, allowing their allies to escape. A Ranger can even alter their own presence, using their body language and mannerisms to inspire their comrades-at-arms and increase the combat effectiveness of their party.

Guardianship

Survival in the wilds of Alganon is not easy, and many Rangers learn to survive in the wilds by taking on the defensive abilities of the beasts of the forest. A Guardianship Ranger specializes in improving their own defensive nature so as to increase their own survivability and defend their allies against enemy attack.

Predation

The predators of the forests can provide inspiration for another method of survival – carnage. By specializing in predation, Rangers greatly increase their ability to damage their enemies, attempting to strike down their opponents quickly and efficiently.

Lifeblood

The wilds of Alganon are not only a place of death, but also a bastion of life. A Ranger who specializes in Lifeblood is able to utilize these natural remedies to their extreme, and act as a healer to their friends.

Although many Words can be used freely, some Words will prevent the healer from using other Word actions for a time due to their significant drain placed on the speaker.

Touches of Power

Touches of Power are a variety of actions with short term effects. These Touches can instantly infuse an ally with health or deliver retribution on an enemy. Touches usually only affect the immediate target of the healer, but always have significant impact.

Deathwalk

Deathwalk allows the Healer to slip into a state of undeath. In exchange for losing mobility, they gain the ability to deliver incredible amounts of damage.

Core

The core of a healer's power lies in their control over life, and thus, their ability to heal.

Channeling

Masters of destruction, the Magus embraces the elements to smite their foes. Specializing in the areas of Flame, Frost and Storm, the Magus is greatly feared by all in the world of Alganon.

While they lack tough armor and a high endurance, those who get close enough to strike a Magus will find them agile and well protected by their magic.

TRAITS

Affinities

Every Magus is able to channel energy from several elemental schools efficiently. Each affinity provides passive effects to the Magus and many of his/her spells are changed as well - some are made stronger, some are unavailable or weakened while others gain secondary effects.

As they grow in power, Magi gain the ability to control the elements and greatly enhance their powers. Elemental fire allows a Magus to focus fire on a single target.

The power of the Storm allows a Magus to strengthen their friends, and weaken their foes.
