Ghostfire Gaming

Primal warriors who use rage to overpower foes.

Versatile musicians and performers who use magic and wit to inspire allies.

Holy priests empowered by their deity to bolster allies and punish foes.

Druids are shapeshifters and wielders of primal magic from the natural world.

Versatile soldiers who dominate the battlefield with might and tactics.

Monks use martial arts and inner strength to master themselves and the battlefield.

Paladins are knightly followers of divine ideals and oaths.

Cunning hunters and trackers, rangers are at home in the wilderness.

Rogues are clever ambushers and thieves who sneak across the battlefield.

Spellcasters whose arcane bloodlines or origins give them innate magical powers.

Eldritch warriors whose Faustian pacts give them dangerous mastery over magical energy.

Students of the arcane arts whose research grants them specialization over schools of magic.

Clerics are as diverse as the gods they serve, but all are united in their mission to act as their faith demands. A cleric’s abilities reflect the strength of their faith. The more powerful a cleric becomes, the more their features resemble those of the god they worship.

There are many ways to build a fighter, but at the end of the day, their talents shine brightest in the thick of a fight. Whether archer, knight, wrestler, or general, your class options are designed to make you the best at dishing out damage with your favorite weapons.

Hardy adventurers who excel in combat and weapon use.

Rogues are clever and cunning with a wide array of skills. Their broad expertise makes them well suited for challenges that can’t be overcome by either brute force or magic. There’s no “standard” rogue; they come in all sizes and dispositions.

Cunning adventurers who rely on agility and trickery.

The study of magic is infinitely complex, and every wizard develops a different approach to studying its intricacies. Regardless of the specific aspects you study, your class options reflect an ongoing dedication to mastering magic through research and experimentation.

Some warriors hail from untamed lands deemed inhospitable. These combatants, barbarians by name, are among the hardiest and most physically powerful warriors in the world. Though you may be born in the frozen wastes, the sweltering jungle, or the vast plains, your class options focus around your ability to slip into a state of frenzy, compounding your natural toughness and strength.

Barbarians rely on immense strength and a familiarity with violence to work as capable adventurers.

Bards are born performers who complement their diverse skillset with magical prowess. Their breadth of expertise makes them exceptional at whatever options they choose to cultivate. As a bard, your innate charisma makes you the class best suited to dealing with others, whether navigating tense social encounters or ensuring your allies survive a fight.

All bards are driven to seek stories, secrets, songs—and audiences—which are gained most readily on the road. 

Druids are the guardians and warriors of the natural world. All druids feel a deep affinity for the environment, whether it manifests as a spiritual connection to the beasts of the land, the plants of the earth, or the elemental energies that keep all things in balance.

Druids are exceptional explorers and warriors. They hold an impressive range of magical abilities that allow them to heal allies, gather information, and invoke nature’s wrath.

Mechanists are inventors, makers, and engineers, interested in the composition of material objects and in the components of creation itself. While others dedicate their lives to mastering magic or science, the mechanist sees such forces as flexible components within a grander design. To walk the path of the mechanist is to open the back of the universe, observe its moving parts, and restructure them as suits your needs.

Mechanist

Mechanists are capable warriors with an arsenal of magical tricks.

Monks are martial warriors that might hail from palatial fortresses in the sand-choked desert, forlorn island hermitages where they study the stars, or expansive communes where they toil to perfect their bodies and minds. All monks possess a near-perfect understanding of their bodies and have deeper connections to the world that are indistinguishable from magic, be it anatomical, mystical, or occult in origin.

Monks seek out ever greater understanding and challenges.

Though many consider a life pursuing divinity to be a life of healing, learning, and worship, there are a few who pledge themselves as unbending instruments of a greater cause. These divinely guided warriors are called paladins, and each of them follows a set of principles—an oath sworn to a god, themselves, or the tides of fate.

Paladins are versatile warriors with a variety of divine and martial abilities and proficiencies that make them perfect for a life of adventuring.

Rangers are unparalleled explorers with a mystical connection to the natural world. A combination of martial prowess, spellcasting, and supernatural awareness ensures rangers excel as scouts, trackers, and hunters. Few classes prove as deadly as a ranger once their quarry is within sight.

No class is better suited to surviving the rigors of the wild than a ranger, and their excellent survival skills are often the difference between life and death for adventuring parties far from civilization.

Though magic courses through all things, some people are so intrinsically tied to it that they can command magic through force of will. These spellcasters, called sorcerers, feel magic coursing through them just as they might feel their own heartbeat.

Sorcerers command a masterful control over a small reservoir of magic.

Warlocks are ruled by their connection to the supernatural forces that lurk beyond the veil of reality. In exchange for secret knowledge and eldritch power, warlocks make pacts with mysterious entities who dwell in distant realms. The motivations of such beings are often shrouded, but many consent to sell their power to those that hunger for it—until they call in their marker.

Warlocks are exceptional combatants who back up damage-dealing capabilities with an array of spells and invocations.

The alchemist uses their skill at crafting to create alchemical items—such as bombs, elixirs, and poisons—that they use to defeat foes and aid allies. Smart and resourceful, an alchemist often has just the right tool for the job and esoteric knowledge to help their friends get out of a jam.

Alchemist

The alchemist throws alchemical bombs and drinks concoctions of their own making.

The barbarian is a fearsome embodiment of rage, focusing the deadly power of their anger against anyone who stands in their way. A barbarian is quick to enter battle and, once their fury has been unleashed, is immensely strong, often unpredictable, and nearly unstoppable.

The barbarian flies into a rage on the battlefield, smashing foes with abandon.

An artist and a scholar, the bard uses performance and esoteric learning to bolster their companions and foil their enemies. Sometimes sneaky and quite often charming, the bard adventures with pizzazz and talent backed up by an impressive repertoire of occult magic.

Skilled performances and secrets of the occult enable the bard to distract foes and inspire allies.
