Classes - Healer, Monk, Monster, Paladin, Peasant, Scout, Warrior, Wizard

Druid

Neolithic anthropological evidence indicates a strong tradition of matriarchy and mother worship in Central Europe, the origin of the proto-Celtic Beaker and Axe peoples. It is highly possible that many if not most early druidic-types were priestesses rather than priests.
Examples: Galadriel, Johnny Appleseed, Lady of the Lake, Cathbu, Tom Bombadil, the Green Knight
Garb: Brown sash
Armor: None
Shield: Small, will subtract from magic points
Weapons: See the Magic section for a listing of weapons used. Weapons subtract from the Druid's magic points.
Immunities: None
Lives: 4
Abilities & Traits:
Magic-user: Druids are magic-users and gain magic at each level. See the Magic section for more details.

Levels
1st No additional abilities
2nd No additional abilities
3rd Pass Without Trace (ex) (2/game)
4th Immunity: Poison
5th Immunity: to non-Spirit school magic from fey monsters
6th Immunity: Control

Healer

This image has been somewhat forged between clerics and the "hedge mages" that preceded Christianity. Our modern view of the fighting "Healer" stems from early medieval clerical use of bludgeoning weapons, so as not to break the implied biblical prohibition against drawing blood.
Examples: Hippocrates, Chiron, Elrond, Goldmoon, Archangel Raphael, Galenus, and the Hospitallers
Garb: Red sash
Armor: None
Shield: Medium, will subtract from magic points
Weapons: See the Magic section for a listing of weapons used. Weapons subtract from the Healer's magic points.
Immunities: None
Lives: 4
Magic-user: Healers are magic-users and gain magic at each level. See the Magic Section for more details.

Monk

Shaolin and Buddhist temples manned by fighting monks who learned to fight with their hands and strange implements when their warlords forbade them to use swords are the classic image of this class. However, many Asiatic and American tribes had strong traditions of wrestling, and the Shogun-era Japanese had a plethora of armed warrior monks whose wrath was feared by even the emperor.
Examples: Bruce Lee, Qui Chang Kane, Dread Pirate Ninja Roberts, the Bloodguard, Benkei, Pachomius, the Sohei
Garb: Gray sash

Monster

(non-standard class)
Monster is a special class. Credit in Monster can only be taken twice a month, but as you increase weeks in Monster, you increase it for ALL monsters. Thus if you have 13 weeks in Monster, you can play a 2nd level Monster of any type.

Paladin

The perfect good guy comes to save the day. Paladins exist in the myths and legends of all cultures. Be it the Geatlander Beowulf slaying Grendel or the Norse god Thor battling the Midgaard Serpent, Paladins have been with us since prehistory.
Examples: Joan of Arc, Galahad, Bovide, King Arthur, Roland, Percival, the Twelve Peers of France, Don Quixote, Arcite, Palamon, Dietrich von Bern

Peasant

(non-standard class)
Peasants are players who do not have appropriate garb for a class but still want to play. You may take credits in Peasant but they have no levels, so no advantages are gained from doing so.
Garb: None

Scout

Anyone who survives for any time in the wilds learns the lay of the land. Many Native Americans are rightly seen as good trackers or scouts, as were the mountain men who followed.

Warrior

Pure warrior traditions also abound. Outstanding examples included the 300 Spartans who opposed the great Persian king Xerxes and his 10,000 Immortals, the incredibly warlike five nations of the Iroquois, and the fierce Maori clans native to New Zealand.
Examples: William Wallace, Lancelot, Achilles, Spartacus, Mad Martigan, Miyamoto Musashi, Charles Martel, Roman Praetorians, and Julius Caesar

Wizard

The alchemists of the Dark Ages can be said to be Wizards, but 10,000-year old cave paintings in France indicate that the concept of fusing the spirit and physical worlds has been with us since the start.
Examples: Alannon, Gandalf, Morgana le Fey, Erasmus, Merlin, the Ithryn Luin
