World of Talrae consists of 100 separate floors. All players start on the first floor, also known as Genesis. The game will only be beaten by reaching and defeating the boss of the 100th floor, also known as Finale. Floors mainly operate as if they are separate universes from other Floors, meaning Floors do not interact with each other. Floors can only be accessed through Portal Gate, which are explained in more detail below.

One or more towns or cities will exist on every floor with the exception of Genesis where a single, very large city exists. Town on each floor has a corresponding theme with the floor. All towns have the following locations: Town Hall, Restaurants/Taverns/Inns, Blacksmith's, Market/Shops, Residential Area, Portal Gate and Storage House. All cities will have all of the following locations on top of what towns feature: Guild House, Guild Hall, and Arena. Depending on the town, it may have other facilities.

Players can attack each other in towns but will most likely be quickly stopped by the NPC forces. However, if they are added as friends in the menu - details below - they may engage in sparring sessions without any consequences. Players may enact Actions or Spells in towns. It is possible to harm NPCs with them. While Players may interact as normal in towns (eg: deal damage to each other) in-town, a Player's HP can never drop below 1HP and all status effects will automatically be purged after 3 hours.

While entering Towns will guarantee safety from death, it does not mean Health and Mana are automatically replenished. Players will have to find other means to do so, whether it be through potions, healing spells or a trip to the Apothecary's.



Town Locations - Note that these are not what towns and cities will exclusively have. Towns and Cities may feature other facilities unique to them.





Monsters cannot enter the town's boundaries save those owned by Trainers (player Class) on Floors 1-4.

Starting Floor 5, Monsters may attack the Town from Dungeons and Wild Areas. This is called Invasion. When Invasion occurs, all Players in the vicinity are called to defend the town. While players have a choice in defending the Town, it is in most peoples’ interest to preserve the Town as it serves as a safe point in any Floors. A destroyed town will never be rebuilt. Some Towns will have some self-defensive capabilities. However, most of the time it will not be enough and players will need to aid them. Players may be entitled to rewards after participating in a defense against Invasion. Players may drop beneath 1HP during Invasion event, even when in towns.

Talrae currency is named Renn and are exclusively coins. They cannot be created, destroyed or otherwise be tampered with using any abilities or spells in-game unless specifically stated.

Each Floor is inhabited by indigenous NPCs. They can be harmed and even killed. However, such actions may incur the wrath of NPCs and result in the ban of the Player from entering the town or even have NPCs coming after them. The programming technology has been advanced to the point where without identity tags, it is practically impossible to tell NPCs apart from Players. Players may converse, acquire information or even trade items with NPCs. Essentially they behave and act like real people. Rarely NPCs may consist of beings that are non-human such as elves. All NPCs are not hostile towards Players unless given reason to be otherwise.



NPCs are unaware of the fact that they are programs belonging to a game. They are however aware of "other worlds" and "different universes" known to Players as Floors. NPCs may travel to other Floors, although this is very rare. NPCs are the ultimate role-players; no matter how much Players attempt to explain the reality of the game or their origins, NPCs will simply not understand. Destroyed NPCs will not come back to life. However, their roles may be replaced by other NPCs. New NPCs can be generated.



NPCs can be harmed and destroyed just like Players. However like the Players, they cannot drop below 1HP when inside towns. Naturally, there will be an exception during the Invasion event (visit 'Towns' for more details). During Invasion or outside of Towns, NPCs are highly similar to Players; they possess a set of stats including HP, MP, Attributes, Skills, Spells, Actions and Titles. However, they do not possess Class or Subclass. It is impossible to learn into a Class or Subclass by NPCs, meaning Class-based Skills, Actions and Spells cannot be learned by NPCs. Additionally, NPCs possess no Levels.



NPCs may possess their own unique Titles, Skills, Spells and Actions however. For the purposes of effects of game mechanics, they are treated as a unit, a target and a player, but not belonging to a single Class. For generic area effects that target certain statuses (for instance, if it targets all friendlies), it will depend on the NPC's personal relationship to the user and therefore will be resolved in a case-by-case scenario.

Killing monsters will grant experience, items and/or currency. In certain situations, such as in a Dungeon, the rewards for kills will be calculated at the end, rather than dropping immediately on the spot. All Monsters not tamed by Trainers are naturally hostile towards all Players, although the degree of hostility may vary on a case by case scenario. Monsters can be split broadly into 2 separate categories; intelligent humanoids and non-intelligent. Examples of intelligent humanoids may include demons, goblins, trolls, etc. Non-intelligent Monsters comprise of the rest. An easy way to tell on the spot would be to see if the Monster is capable of speaking any language.



Monsters all have different properties, ranging anywhere from simple Stat differences to different types of Actions / Spells they are able to use. While some Monsters may be intelligent enough to speak, none can be reasoned with or otherwise negotiated by Players. Generally speaking, more intelligent a Monster is, more likely it'll be hostile towards Players. Monsters possess the same set of Stats as Players do, minus Class, Subclass and Skills. However, unlike NPCs they do possess Levels.



Pets are different from Monsters. Unlike Monsters who can only be owned by Trainers who have tamed them, pets may be bought and used by any and all Players. Some may have unique properties that are highly useful to the Players while others exist solely for the amusement of their owners. Pets can be harmed by both Players and Monsters, although this is not very likely since pets do not attract Monster aggression very much. Pets only have HP, Spells and Actions as stats. Pets only require pet feed in order to survive and will follow the Player anywhere they go.

Each floor has at least 2 dungeons and one of them will always be the Floor Dungeon - largest and the most dangerous one. Unlocking the Floor Dungeon will allow players to move on to the next Floor. Each dungeon has its unique monsters along with items that are dropped. Each the layout of Dungeons and its’ Monsters are unique from Dungeon to Dungeon. However, each Dungeon always has at least 1 Dungeon Boss.

Multiple Players/parties can enter the same Dungeon at once not interfere with each other. Each player/party then will get their own version of the Dungeon, as if in a parallel world. Floor Dungeons are exception to this however, only 1 version of the Floor Dungeon exists so Players may interact with other non-party members inside the Dungeon. Player/parties can quit their Dungeon run whenever they wish unless in special circumstances.



Monsters may reside outside town areas that are not dungeons in places called Wild Area. Wild Areas essentially consist of everywhere that's not Town or Dungeon. However, monsters in Wild Areas are typically weaker than dungeon monsters. Monsters in Wild Areas tends not to drop as much items or currency when killed but will grant experience like the dungeon monsters.

Item can be bought from vendors, traded from other players or found in dangerous locations. They range from simple items that boost stats to complicated ones that grant the one ability to use a certain type of spell. While all players are able to pick up items, certain special items can only be used by a specific Class.

All players are only able to carry items on a realistic portion. For example, a player cannot possibly carry 200 Swords in their inventory. Naturally, players will stronger strength stats will be able to carry more items, although the volume of the items may be limiting. For the sake of convenience, the weight/volume of the items can be approximated with good conscience by the Players.



Items will require repairing or else eventually they will break. GM will notify the player beforehand; eventually players will get a sense of the integrity of their items. Some items may not be able to be repaired such as Arrows which are consumable items. Players can repair the items themselves or find a NPC. For instance, Cloth Armor can be repaired using Sewing Kit and Sewing Skill. Or a Sword can be repaired by Smithing if the player has access to a Workshop.

General cost of item repairing (if done by NPC) would be 50% of item's cost. If players are doing it themselves, naturally it will be free. However, 50% of the item's ingredients (rounded down) and any required facilities must be available.



Items can be crafted by Players. Players will need sufficient Skill. In order to craft items, Players will require 3 things: Ingredients, Skill and Facility. Smithing Skill generally encompasses just about every item in the game with exceptions such as clothing which will require Sewing Skill. PM the GM regarding whether or not your Skill is sufficient enough for the task at hand. Facility such as Workshops may be needed for more complicated and difficult jobs such as forging weapons. Players may inquire about purchasing or renting facilities from the Town Hall.



Item enhancement works similarly to crafting or repairing. Same process will happen (ingredient, Skill, facility). However, most enhancements will not require any ingredients, just Skill and facility. Enhancements can happen up to 10 times. When an item has been enhanced, they will get a +1 next to their names. For instance if a Longsword has been enhanced twice, it'd be "Longsword+2".

Enhanced items will have improved general performance and increased durability. However they do NOT improve specific bonuses. For instance, if one enhances a Sword item that grants the wielder +5 Strength, it will still only give +5 Strength. But the damage dealt by the Sword would be increased. When enhanced items are sold to NPCs, they will just turn into normal a un-enhanced items. Enhanced items cannot be bought from NPCs.

Enhancing an item may break it (it is lost permanently). Chances of breaking are 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%.



Items may be named the same but may have different rarity and therefore property. Items will be classified in this order:



For instance, Longsword (Common) will be less powerful and more easily found than Longsword (Uncommon). Generally speaking, items of 1 higher rarity will cost twice as much. For instance, if a Common item costs 100 Renn, Uncommon version of the item will cost 200. Rare version will cost 400, so on and so forth. The only exceptions are Ultimate and Transcendent rarity items which will have their own unique price-tags.

Additionally, ingredient rarity will be corresponding with the items. For instance, Longsword (Uncommon) will require Iron (Uncommon) rather than Iron (Common).



Named items are unique items in-game that often has a unique lore or storyline behind them. They may not be solely unique (there may be more than 1 of the item) but they are less common than normal items. Players may inquire the GM any time regarding the background lore of any Named items, as the information may be relevant to the gameplay.

A Named item is not necessarily better than a standard high-rarity item. For instance, Lorithian Staff (Rare) does not have higher base stats than Wooden Staff (Mythic). Named items will often possess a special or unique ability but otherwise would not be superior to their normal counterparts.

(For the simplicity's sake of this version of the RP and to keep number crunching to a minimum, we'll operate exclusively in narrative way. Meaning, whatever numbers and stats a player possesses will work as a guideline, rather than an equation for the GM's reference when determining the progression of events. Essentially, numbers WILL matter but only for the purpose of people and GM estimating approximating.)



Spells are magic. And usually are only cast by players who practice in the magical discipline such as Mages. All Magic requires speaking words, hand gesture and a Magic Weapon item such as a wand to cast. Casting without any of those will either result in problems. No speaking words or hand gesture will result in the spell being cast unsuccessfully. Casting without a Magic Weapon will hurt the player equal to the amount of Mana spent but the spell will go off successfully. Players may learn new spells most often from NPCs. There are other means to do so as player accesses higher Floors.

Some Spells will have different interactions in more detail. For instance, "Frost Bite" will not effect any arctic-based Monsters such as Frost Drakes. Players will be asked to utilize common sense for most of these situations, however they are encouraged to contact the GM with any questions.

Spells can be learned from NPCs that reside in towns. In every town, a Wizard or Warrior Trainer NPC will be available who will teach the players Spells or Actions if they pay the lesson fee. They will almost always be located in a similar place to the town's blacksmith. The price of lesson is universally as the following:


All Spells and Actions, no matter Class specifications or Levels, can be learned from these NPCs.



Actions work similarly to spells but are non-magical in nature. It is most often used by Classes that practice physical combat but aren't magical. (Send the Actions you wish to have to the GM, same as above) Actions often are a special and powerful move. For instance, just swinging a sword would not be an Action. However, spinning in a circle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8osrPODv0-k rapidly to deal massive damage over time will be an Action. Players may learn new Actions most often from NPCs. There are other means to do so as player accesses higher Floors.

Some Actions will have different interactions in more detail. For instance, "Disarm" cannot be used on a target that is very large such as a troll. Players will be asked to utilize common sense for most of these situations, however they are encouraged to contact the GM with any questions.

Actions can be learned from NPCs that reside in towns. In every town, a Wizard or Warrior Trainer NPC will be available who will teach the players Spells or Actions if they pay the lesson fee. They will almost always be located in a similar place to the town's blacksmith. The price of lesson is universally as the following:


All Spells and Actions, no matter Class specifications or Levels, can be learned from these NPCs.



Skills are what the player possesses that represents the player's aptitude at something. It includes simple things such as fishing, crafting, weapons repairing to Sword Wielding, Dagger Wielding and such. It is advised by the game manual for the players to invest in some points into their main weapon Skill at character creation. Every player has Skill 0 to start off with.

Upon gaining experience and leveling up, explained below, the player will receive some points to spend in Skills. Skills can be also be increased by practicing them. For example for Fishing Skill, if a player spends a lot of time fishing, the Skill will increase in points, GM will notify you in such a case.

Skills are meant to be described broadly. For instance, the Art Skill encompass everything from Fine Art to Sculpture and Painting. High Skill naturally means one is more skill-full in that article. There will be times when Players wonder if their Skill level is adequate enough for an action. For instance a player may wish to forge a sword but not know if their Skill Level is high enough to do so. In such a case, PM the GM. For more obvious estimations (A player repairing a simple buckler with Smithing Level 50) players may exercise their own judgement.

Upon reaching Skill 100 in any category, a Player reaches Expert status in that Skill. This grants them access to additional, subcategories of Skill that are more specific. For instance, upon reaching Expert in Art Skill, a Player may gain the ability to put points into "Sculpting", "Fine Arts", etc. Subcategories will not be available to view and only will be revealed once Expert status has been achieved.



The following are Attributes. All players have these Stats known as Attributes. Simply put its the base stat chart.

• Health [+]

  Abbreviated to HP. Health is the player's main indication of your well-being. When it drops to 0, player will die without exception.
• Mana [+]

  Abbreviated to MP. Mana is required for most Actions and Spells.
• Strength [+]

  Abbreviated to STR. Strength represents the player's physical power. It has the following properties:
  
  - Physical attack damage
  - Action effect
  - Allow wielding of heavier items such as shields
  - Natural physical damage resistance
  - Every 5 Strength grants +1% overnight HP regeneration (20% max)
• Agility [+]

  Abbreviated to AGI. Agility represents the player's physical speed and dexterity. It has the following properties:
  
  - Overall speed of movement
  - How many moves (normal, Action, Spells) can be executed within a period of time
  - Physical evasion
  - Certain items, such as heavy armor, lowers Agility
• Intelligence [+]

  Abbreviated to INT. Intelligence represents the player's magical affinity. It will primarily determine how powerful the player's spells are. It has the following properties:
  
  - Spell effect
  - Natural magic resistance
  - Every 5 Intelligence grants +1% overnight MP regeneration (30% max)
• Stamina [+]

  Abbreviated to STM. Stamina represents the player's endurance. It is a special Attribute that does NOT require any points, meaning a player can play Talrae with 0 STM with no problem. It has the following properties:
  
  - Reduces cooldown time of Actions and Spells
  - Every 10 Stamina grants bonus damage to normal attacks
  - Increases Critical Strike chance

When the player reaches the next level through experience gain, he or she will receive GM's choice amount of points to spend on the Attributes. For putting points into Health and Mana, 1 point will equal to 100. For example, you can choose to spend 4 points to gain 400 Health. Once the points are placed, they may not be taken back. Like points for Skill above, Attribute can also be increased through time spent on training, rather than experience gain.



Titles are given out to Players by the game system. Most NPCs (and Players sometimes) afterwards will refer to the title of the player as well as their name. Titles can be achieved by enacting something epic/awesome at the Game Master’s discretion. When a Title is bestowed by the game system it confers a special bonus to the bearer, determined by the nature of the Title and what the epic move was. A player may only wear 1 title at a time. Each Title is unique and will never replicate itself in the game. Example: Kirito from SAO was known as “The Black Swordsman”.



When players gain enough experience through different events and actions such as clearing dungeons, he or she may be able to level up. Experiences gained will empty out upon leveling up. The experience level up counter is 50% more (rounded up) than the last counter with starting counter being 100. So Level 1 player must gain 100 experience before leveling up. Level 2 player must gain 150. Level 3 player must gain 225. Level 4 player must gain 338. So on and so forth.

Levels serve as a very general and broad indicator for a Player or Monster's approximate power, however it should not be taken as an acute measurement. Level cap of Talrae is equal to (Current Maximum Floor)x5. For instance, if up to Floor 10 has been cleared, all Players in-game may level up to Level 50. Floors 1, 2, 3 are exceptions, as maximum Level for accessing those Floors are fixed at 20.

Guilds are formed by a group of people numbering between 5-50. A Guildmaster must draft a treaty and all Guild-members must sign the treaty in order to establish a Guild. The treaty then must be submitted to any Town Hall. All Guild-members immediately share each others' statuses as Friends and a public Guild-house and storage may be purchased. After combating dungeons or other Guilds, general spoils of combat all goes to the Guildmaster. Guildmaster then has the responsibility to distribute the spoils as he/she sees fit.

When a Player joins their Guild, their profile name changes to represent it. An acronym of the Guild will appear before their name-tag, as well as a Guild symbol to represent their allegiance.

Guild-houses may be purchased or built (after the property is purchased) either in Towns or outside of them. Towns will naturally offer more security from Wild Areas Monsters but suffer from limited space and expensive real estate prices. Non-Guild players and NPCs can enter Guild-houses without permission, so it is recommended that the Guild establish some manner of defenses and security. If the Guild-house is located outside of Towns, it may also come under attack from Monsters or other Players. Guild-houses may be moved to other Floors. Details below.



Guilds can declare war upon other Guilds. This is called Guild War. The opposing Guild may decline this challenge, however in such a case they aren't allowed to declare war for a month and their reputation among the NPC may drop.



In a War event, both Guildmasters sign a war-treaty before submitting to the Town Hall. Guild War takes place in the Arena inside towns. The conditions of the Arena are generated randomly. The two Guilds are given 6 hours to conduct combat within the arena. Guild with the most functioning players in the end wins and the losing Guild must give up 50% of its current Renn and whatever other terms that were signed beforehand to the winning Guild. When fighting a Guild War, players who are reduced to 0HP are not killed. Instead, they are stunned for the rest of the fight. When Guild War ends, they are free to move and function once again and all their previous injuries will be automatically healed.



Any player may join a Guild with Guildmaster's approval and at least 60% approval vote from rest of the existing Guild. Similarly, any player may leave the Guild with Guildmaster's approval and at least 60% approval vote. A player without 60% vote or Guildmaster's approval who wishes to leave may choose to Force Quit, in which case the player may immediately quit the Guild at the cost of surrendering 90% of their current Renn to the Guild. Players may also be forcibly kicked out of Guilds if the Guildmaster and 60% of the Guild votes for it. In this case the kicked player does not have to pay the penalty price.



While many positions can exist inside of a Guild, only the following positions are accepted by the game system; Guildmaster, Treasurer, Secretary, Architect, Chamberlain. With the exception of Guildmaster (whose position is automatically assigned to the individual who submits the initial papers to the Town Hall - as stated above) all officer positions will be filled by popular vote among the Guild members. Officers may be kicked from their positions in the same manner of how players can be kicked from a Guild.

Guildmaster: Gains the ability to do the followings:
- Declare or accept War.
- Send Guild-wide private message.
- Access Guild communal bank account.
- Submit documents to Town Hall.

Secretary: Gains the ability to do the followings:
- Send Guild-wide private messages.
- Post Guild-specific messages on the Dashboard.
- Submit documents to Town Hall.

Treasurer: Gains the ability to do the followings:
- Purchase property and/or Guild-houses.
- Access Guild communal bank account.
- Submit documents to Town Hall.

Architect: Gains the ability to do the followings:
- Design, construct and upgrade Guild-house. Must submit designs to the GM prior.
- Submit documents to Town Hall.

Chamberlain: Gains the ability to do the followings:
- Manage NPCs who are employed or servicing the Guild.
- Submit documents to Town Hall.

In addition to these positions, many Guilds choose to have honorary positions inside their Guilds such as First Mate, Second Mate, Strategical Advisor, etc. Guildmaster can choose to inherit his mantle to a fellow Guild member if he wishes. If the Guildmaster is killed or other wise is unable to conduct his or her duty, then the remaining Guild Members may vote for a new Guildmaster, with majority vote winning. Each player may ONLY create 1 Guild during their lifetime. However, they may join as often as possible providing that they only belong to one at a time.

Players can interact in any and all ways they could in real life. While players are able to kill other players in any place other than in Towns, this brands the killer player's profile with a red tag, indicating their crime. When having committed 3 or more murders, the player's profile tag turns into black and are not allowed to enter Towns and interact with NPCs. For players who PK (player kill) 5 or more times, the NPC authority of the Floor may even put a bounty on the player's head.

When a player is killed, all items he or she is carrying drops on the spot after the body has shattered. Any item owned by a dead player in any other location such as storage, automatically disappears.



Players are also required to eat, drink, breathe and sleep like in real life. When suffocating or starving, player's HP level will drop at alarming levels. In certain Floors with winter themes, it is possible for players to freeze to death. It is highly advised for players to dress right and carry appropriate equipment for the Floor's environment.



The advancement of the VR technology guarantees that any and all interactions with the environment and other beings are as realistic as possible. Texture, temperature... any and all types of feelings will look and feel as real as reality. Most systematic actions that are replicable through real-life actions, such as putting on items, can be done in both ways; meaning a player may choose to physically put on an item like they would realistically or choose to equip from the player 'Menu' itself. Both are accepted by the game system.



Pain-level setting is situated at 6/10. Meaning, if one were to be hit with an attack, it would hurt approximately a little more than half of how it would realistically feel. When players are damaged, they feel the pain and may drop in HP Attribute but otherwise is not injured. For instance, if a player takes a sword slash to the arm that would realistically have cut off the said arm, he will drop in HP and feel the pain but not actually lose the arm or suffer any malfunctions.

Any other feeling, such as the feelings of touch, smell and sound, will be felt at 10/10 setting.

If a player suffers death, after 1 minute he or she will shatter into a million points of pixel light and disappear forever. Bodies, no matter how intact, cannot be revived or healed once death has occurred. After 1 minute it will shatter no matter what. Same applies for monsters and NPCs.



Marriage is a status between two players. The two players upon marriage must sign together at the Town Hall and may open a shared storage and a place of residence. Marriage offers only one advantage in-game; if one of the spouse suffers death, all his or her belongings including Renn and items may be claimed by the surviving spouse. However, there is a Marriage Tax of 1 Gold upon signing in Town Hall. If the couple belongs to the same Guild, they must each be taxed 1 Gold by the Guild in addition to the normal Marriage Tax.



Funeral services may be purchased for any dead player at the Town's Hall for 2 Gold. If the service is purchased, the dead player's body appears in a pre-chosen coffin at the towns hall and any friends or family may visit to watch their loved ones for the last time. It lasts for 2 hours. Funeral service may not be purchased more than once for the same player.

Swordsman class is specialized by their exclusive use of swords. Often described as "jack of all trades but master of none" they boast a well-balanced form between offensive and defensive abilities and can often fill several different roles in a party.

• Strengths: Flexible and balanced, Swordsman are able to deal with many types of enemies and boast both offensive and defensive capabilities.
• Weaknesses: The fluid nature of Swordsman often leaves them in situations where their true strength never shines. A Swordsman player may find themselves in cases where numerous other Classes are outperforming them in a particular activity.
• Starting Bonus: Swordsman may start with 1 extra Action for free, allowing them to start with 3 Actions + 1 Action.

Knights are one of the more durable classes by featuring increased defensive capabilities. Drawing their durability from heavy items such as armor and shields and maintaining the traditional damage output of a Swordsman, Knights are superb at waging wars of attrition.

• Strengths: Knights are capable of taking hits that no other Swordsman would be able to, while outputting a respectable amount of damage. In a party without Paladins, Knights can easily slide in the role of the traditional Tank.
• Weaknesses: Knights are very reliant on the quality of their weapons and armor in order to fulfill their role, meaning they are often out of money and must live frugally. They are also particularly weak against opponents who have armor reduction or item-breaking abilities.

Duelists are skillful fighters who forgo defensive abilities in order to gain the highest Swordsman skills available in the game. They must be skilled and cunning warriors, having a balance of speed, agility and strength. They excel in fighting a single enemy and finishing him quickly. However, they are susceptible hordes of weak enemies and have little to no defensive and magic capabilities.

• Strengths: Duelists have very high damage output and have one of the most powerful 1v1 dueling capabilities, using their powerful technique such as disarming strikes.
• Weaknesses: Duelist is a typical glass-cannon, having little armor or magical defense. They must rely on allies who can take care of hordes of smaller enemies and make sure they do not get harmed by ranged attacks.

Lancers are featured using spears as their primary weapons. They have the advantage of initiative and range over many other classes but lacks agility. Lancers and both their Subclasses are known for having very high damage on charges but are extremely weak once tarpitted against numerous opponents.

• Strengths: Lancers have superior range and initiative, allowing them to dictate their fight as they wish. Their damage output is high but is also optimized towards a defensive combat, keeping their enemies at range while shaving their Health down using quick jabs and strikes.
• Weaknesses: Lancers are inflexible and suffer against enemies who use numbers as advantage. They are also weak towards opponents using ranged weapons as their speed is relatively lacking thanks to a top-heavy weapon.
• Starting Bonus: Lancers may start with 35 Attributes, rather than 30.

Reapers are a Subclass of Lancers who are known for using large scythes. Contrary to the traditional Lancer, they are effective against large amounts of weak enemies, clearing low level dungeons fastest out of all Classes.

• Strengths: Reapers are able to cut through hordes of small minions easily, clearing the path for his or her allies. They are also more durable than other Lancers, due to their ability to defend him or herself using the wide blade of the scythe.
• Weaknesses: Reapers wide swings and AOE arc attacks make them dangerous to themselves as well as to any friendlies nearby. A Reaper must always be careful to mind their surroundings in order not to hit the wrong targets.

Pikemen choose to fight using long, heavy polearms, such as large pikes or halberds. They excel in dealing heavy damage to single targets while being relatively durable themselves through the use of heavy armor. If a party is looking for a heavy damage dealer to take down a powerful monster, pikeman would be an excellent addition.

• Strengths: Pikeman have long range and powerful strikes, along with a more or less a very well-rounded stat. They are able to keep themselves safe using distance and focus down a target.
• Weaknesses: Pikeman are not too nimble or fast, especially when compared to other premier damage Classes such as Swordsman or Rogues. They could be troubled by hordes of weaker enemies or targets with high speed and evasion.

Trainers are known for specializing in capturing and utilizing monsters from the Talrae world to their causes. They often feature little to no personal offensive and defensive powers but have large amounts of mana and spells that could summon, boost and heal their monsters.

• Strengths: Trainers are capable of calling upon numerous different monsters across the world of Talrae, having very good flexibility in terms of options.
• Weaknesses: Without the aid of monsters, Trainers are very weak as they are overly reliant on them. In certain situations where they cannot summon and control their monsters, Trainers become vulnerable and weak.
• Starting Bonus: Trainers may design their initial level 1 monster that they will possess upon starting the game - consult GM for details. In addition, Trainers may start with Wooden Totem item and all level 1 Trainer spells.

Riders are specialized classes of Trainers who are able to mount and ride their monsters.

• Strengths: Riders can find themselves to be mobile and robust during combat, protected by their monsters. They can also become highly useful to a party of people, as they are able to scout ahead using flying monsters or make their monsters pull heavy luggage carts.
• Weaknesses: Taming monsters take much energy and time, making it so that Riders often don't have a high number of monsters to summon. They often focus on training and improving a few monsters.

Shapeshifters do not summon and control monsters; instead they become the monsters themselves. Being able to shift into any monsters they possess, Shapeshifters can have the unique experience of mixing player-based abilities and monster-based abilities.

• Strengths: Being able to turn into numerous monsters, Shapeshifters have strong diversity and flexibility, being able to find an answer to just about any situations.
• Weaknesses: Shifting into a monster naturally means gaining the strengths and weaknesses of the monster. It is possible that being a certain type of a monster proves to be a mistake depending on the situation.

One of the most diverse class in all of Talrae, Mages forgo the use of conventional weaponry in favor of utilizing magic. They boast the highest Intelligence overall in the entire game with endless mana pools and impressive arsenal of spells. Mages often carry staffs and grimoires as their choices of weapons and while Mages lack Skills such as Strength and Agility, they more than make up for this by using magic to accomplish what no Swordsman or Lancer will ever accomplish. During Guild teamfights or party dungeon clearing sessions, Mages are key to easy victory in many cases. By using their spells, Mages are able to control the flow of battle and aid their allies in areas where they lack. Skillful Mages who has chosen to learn as many spells as possible in favor of having more potent ones are often known as "toolboxes".

• Strengths: Mages use magic as their strength and it is very diverse. From Mages who choose to devastate their foes using storms of fire to benevolent ones who choose to heal and protect their allies, a skilled Mage is capable of influencing any situation to their favor.
• Weaknesses: Mages often aren't physically robust or durable, making them susceptible to non-magical attacks. Also they tend to get vulnerable against anti-magic abilities and items.
• Starting Bonus: Mages may start with extra 300 Mana and get discount on the following items (for first purchase only): Wooden Talisman - 100 Renn

Aspects are Mages who chose to specialize in one type of elemental of magic. Whether it be fire, ice, shadows, lightening or water, they have gained a true mastery of their element and is a powerful force to be reckoned with. Other abilities that specializes in one aspect such as Gravity or Magnetic Forces also fall under this category.

• Strengths: Aspects are true masters of their elements, able to use it in a hundred creative ways in order to control and command the battlefield.
• Weaknesses: Aspects almost always have a most definite counter. Being a master of an element is a weakness that could cripple them, should they encounter an opponent who is able to control a counter element. For instance, a Fire Aspect may have a very difficult time battling an Air or Water Aspect.

Battlemage at first glance mixes the Swordsman Class with Mage class. They choose to use their magic to augment their physical abilities, drawing up on quickening magic to increase their agility momentarily or making mana shields that takes heavy toll on their mana pools.

• Strengths: Unlike most Mages, Battle Mages are great close-combat warriors, combining traditional might and aid of magic to maximize their utility and prowess in combat. They are able to flexible in-combat, as they are capable of having spikes of extreme speed or durability as the situation evolves.
• Weaknesses: Like other Mages, Battle Mages become very weak once their magic is somehow nullified, whether it be an empty mana pool or some other means. However, the critical difference is that they are often seen fighting on the frontline, where the potential danger is the greatest.

Runechanter is often known as a “support” class for its passive nature. Instead of dealing damage or crowd-controlling masses of small monsters, Runechanter focuses on augmenting his or her allies and changing the environments. Runechanters most often serve as healers, trap-layers and enchanters in large parties. Their support magic is invaluable when faced in a dangerous situation.

• Strengths: A Runechanter's usefulness knows no bounds. Being specialized in defense and support, a Runechanter is welcomed and loved by any player groups, seeking to clear difficult Dungeons.
• Weaknesses: Since a Runechanter's primary function is to amplify others' strengths and fill in their weaknesses, a Runechanter alone may find his or herself rather vulnerable.

Alchemists are Mages who specialize in transmuting materials or even creating things out of nothing. They are the only class able to craft potions in all of Talrae. Despite their seemingly passive nature, Alchemists can be powerful in combat. By turning the opponent’s weapons into brittle glass or even transmuting monsters into harmless pile of leaves, Alchemists are able to make huge contributions to combat.

• Strengths: The odd and strange abilities of the Alchemist are often hard to predict and counter. Additionally their potion crafting ability becomes highly useful, as physical forms of potions cannot be nullified by magic-countering items and abilities.
• Weaknesses: Alchemists lores and abilities are difficult to learn and master, requiring much resource and time in order to become useful.

Marauders are the most brutal class available in Talrae. Featuring bountiful Health and Strength, Marauders are perfectly suited for taking damage and dealing them back at point-blank range. While they lack magic, they compensate by having some of the highest Strength in the game. A well-equipped Marauder will tank incredible amounts of punishments while dealing heavy-hits that instant-kills weaker monsters. Marauders are also known as the "weapons" class due to the fact that they have some of the widest choice of weaponry including broadswords, maces, hammers and axes.

• Strengths: With wide array of weapons of choice along with powerful physical abilities, Marauder is a Class made for players who seek become a true melee warrior.
• Weaknesses: Marauders typically do not have any ranged combat capability outside of exceptions such as hatchet throws. They must be able to close the distance with their opponents before they can harm them.
• Starting Bonus: Marauders may start with a +3 bonus on 2 Attributes of their choice.

Warlords are often the initiators of engagements, charging first into combat. But contrary to a typical Marauder's image, Warlords are excellent supports. Gaining access to supportive abilities that focus on boosting friendly morale and performance, Warlords are capable of leading the fight from the front.

• Strengths: Warlords can exponentially increase the effectiveness of their party by increasing damage and defense of their fellow teammates, all the while maintaining their Marauder-base damage and durability.
• Weaknesses: Warlord's deviant focus will mean that a Warlord will never be as tanky or damaging as a pure Marauder. It is important to understand that Warlords will often be an off-tank of a party.

Berserkers forgo the fancy techniques of a Swordsman or the arcane arts of a Mage in favor of big, powerful Actions and high raw stats. With access to some of the most powerful physical Actions in-game, Berserkers are a force to be reckoned with.

• Strengths: Berserker's gain access to significantly more powerful Actions than a normal Marauder does.
• Weaknesses: Berserker's often have abilities that are double-edged, such as Actions that may cause damage to themselves as well as the enemy. Overall, Berserkers can be described as 'high risk, high return'.

Archers are the epitome of long range combat. Utilizing bows and crossbows, Archers possess some of the highest Agility in the game. However, they are pitifully fragile as they are often clad in paper-thin armor and have little Health. However, when equipped with quality items, Archers become of the most damaging class in the game. For most effectiveness, Archers often seek to join Guilds so they have other classes such as Marauders, Paladins and Knights to benefit from.

• Strengths: A dedicated ranged combatants means an Archer is more than likely to be safe in otherwise dangerous situations.
• Weaknesses: Archer's weapons are often considered to be expensive, consumables. An Archer must have a high income in order to support his or her combat style of choice.
• Starting Bonus: Archers may start with 5 Archery Skill for free.

Instead of a bow, Crossbowman wields a crossbow as a weapon of choice. Crossbow, while heavier and cumbersome to wield, features a very high accuracy and power compared to an Archer’s bow and arrows. However, crossbows are difficult to reload and maintain, making its rate of fire much lower.

• Strengths: Crossbow shots are powerful and penetrating, capable of damaging hardy enemies from a safe distance.
• Weaknesses: Crossbows are heavy, cumbersome and unwieldy. Not to mention expensive and hard to maintain.

Rangers are a mobile Class of Archers, using small, compact bows to practice the tactic of shoot-and-displace. They are nimble and agile, second only to Rogues in practice. The bows used by Rangers, while having shorter range, have a very high power-to-weight ratio.

• Strengths: A Ranger is capable of engaging a mobile warfare, practicing the art of "shoot and move". They are able to engage and disengage at their own discretion and are able to dictate the terms of their own combat.
• Weaknesses: Rangers must remain light in order to maximize their advantage, meaning they cannot heavy any heavy gear, weapons or armor. This limits them into becoming light skirmishers most of the time and limits their flexibility in a role.

Rogues are known as the most untrustworthy class and for a good reason; they specialize in infiltrating, stealing and sabotaging. Against dungeons and monsters, they are invaluable for their ability to scout out monster camps and navigate the most favorable route. Rogues use a myriad of exotic weapons including but not limited to: chains, throwing daggers, short swords, poisoned darts, spikes, throwing stars and smoke pellets.

• Strengths: Rogues are elusive evaders, keeping themselves safe through unconventional means. They employ exotic weaponry and skills, allowing them to have the upper hand in situations where a specialist's expertise is needed.
• Weaknesses: Rogues are possibly one of the most fragile Classes in the game, due to the fact that they must spend a lot of their points into their unique niches instead of basic Attributes.
• Starting Bonus: Rogues may start with additional 1 Gold coin + 2D6 Nickel Renn.

Assassins are Rogues who specialize in dealing a killing blow in one strike. They employ deadly weapons such as poisoned blades and are known for slaying even powerful dungeon monsters in a single-hit with the right conditions. While they are superb infiltrators that even skilled Runechanters have a hard time countering, if they fail delivering the killing blow at once or are caught, their low Health and armor often sees them in a very dangerous situation.

• Strengths: Assassins have one of the highest burst damage potential in the game, allowing them to remove dangerous elements on a battlefield before they become detrimental. Additionally they are superb infiltrators and spies, able to sneak upon even the most wary opponents.
• Weaknesses: Assassins are the epitome of the term "glass cannon", their only true defense being stealth and evasion. Against opponents who can survive their fatal hits and counter-attack, Assassins only choice is to retreat or suffer the consequence.

The Gambler entrusted their very life to one of the strongest force in the universe, Fate. They use cards and dice as their weapon of choice but unlike Rogues, their damage come mostly from their Spells. They excel at applying status effects on the enemies, while still being able to deal out a respectable amount of damage.

• Strengths: Through a combination of careful logic and swinging pure luck, a Gambler may be able to pull off incredible feats such as deleting a powerful enemy monster or predicting the future of what he or she may face.
• Weaknesses: As per their nature, Gamblers rely entirely on luck to pull their tricks off. If lady luck decides not to smile on one, that Gambler's day could be ruined spectacularly.

Paladin class is known for their defensive capabilities and little else. While they are able to use a minimal amount of magic as offensive power, they are easily the class with the lowest damage output. However, they more than make up for this by being the single most indestructible class in the game. Paladins are equipped with a set of inter-locking armor plates that are all but impenetrable save the most powerful weapons and powerful magical defenses. Even a skilled Aspect Mage will see his columns of flames or vengeful lightening dissipating against the form of a Paladin.

• Strengths: Durability is the single greatest strength of the Paladin. While their lack of offensive powers may make them seem weak in dueling situations, their ability to simply outlast their foes in a battle of attrition is something that should not be underestimated.
• Weaknesses: Paladins have abysmal mobility, arguably the worst of all the Classes. They must pick and choose their moments of glory carefully, as a single mistake can result in something they cannot get out of.
• Starting Bonus: Paladins may start with additional 200 Health, 200 Mana and Buckler item. Additionally, Paladins may cast Holy Discipline spells without Magic Weapons.

Purifiers are warriors of light... quite literally so. With a focus on offensive magical abilities, Purifiers gain access to a very particular branch of fire-related holy magic not even the most skilled Fire Aspect Mages are capable of imitating.

• Strengths: Contrary to the stereotypical Paladin's image, Purifiers can have impressive damage output, able to cleanse their enemies out using powerful spells. Additionally, their spells are often magic-resistant, making them less vulnerable against counter-magic abilities.
• Weaknesses: Purifier spells are mana consuming in particular and since most Paladins will choose to boost their stats in other areas such as HP, without careful management Purifiers will run out of mana very quickly.

Battle Clerics retain their frontline damage absorbing roles but for their secondary purpose are to heal and boost their allies' during combat. They are solid, dependable and welcome in just about any party composition, bringing durability and utility at once.

• Strengths: Battle Clerics can hold the frontline while boosting all friendly potentials. They are powerful force multipliers when used correctly, able to fill critical roles of a party.
• Weaknesses: Battle Clerics have overall low damage output, as their abilities are focused on survivability and supporting allies.

Tinkers are the only class who may create and utilize higher-tech weapons in the fantasy setting of Talrae. Often compared to Mages due to their flexibility, Tinkers are a rare sight. Utilizing weapons such as flintlock firearms, steam-powered mechanical arms or belt-fed repeater crossbows, Tinkers' strength depends on his ability to forge and use powerful items.

• Strengths: Tinkers have access to rare and powerful items that they themselves can create and repair. They often do not require the services of others to main their gear and has potential to become wealthy through item trading.
• Weaknesses: Tinkers are weak against item-breaking abilities and spells, as their entire existence depends on them. Without the aid of their mechanical contraptions, their unimpressive physical abilities and lack of magic will see to it that they become useless.
• Starting Bonus: Tinkers may start with additional 500 Renn. This bonus may only be spent on specifically Weapon items purchases. They expire and disappear after CS creation is complete.

Mechanics are known to constructing, improving and maintaining a single piece of machinery that they have created. While this specific machinery differs from Mechanic to Mechanic, they are all impressive creations. Some Mechanics have created steam-tanks capable of transporting an entire hunting party through a hostile dungeon while others have created submarines that allows the passengers to hunt the rarest monsters in the bottom of lakes.

• Strengths: A Mechanic's creation is simply a magnificent work capable of accomplishing amazing feats. A Mechanic can become very wealthy by even renting out his creation or selling his or her services to a high-bidder.
• Weaknesses: If that singular creation of the Mechanic becomes disabled or destroyed, a Mechanic will more likely than not become nigh useless, at least until they have repaired or recreated their work.

Gunslingers forgo their constructive nature in favor of destruction. Specialized in wielding firearms, Gunslingers are powerful ranged fighters to be reckoned with. Gunslingers can come in a variety of forms, whether it be a sniper picking off enemies from afar or gunfighter toting a brace of pistols.

• Strengths: Gunslingers are capable of dealing massive damage from distance, using potent gunpowder fed weapons.
• Weaknesses: Gunslingers are often forced to give up much of their ability to create and wield variety of items like most Tinkers. Overall, they lack utility and flexibility.

Note: There are no caps on these levels.
