Knights are the elite of the human military.
Their plate armor and swords are crafted with the highest quality craftsmanship
and material, and they have the skill to use both effectively. No single
warrior can match the fury of an angry knight, and most knights know a
few special, devastating attacks with their weapons. Knights are slightly
resistant to most magic, though less to air and fire.
Lich
These foul creatures are the result of those
that would bargain their very souls for the chance at immortal life. Almost
all liches are powerful spellcasters, as they have had eternity to perfect
their craft. Liches are the elite of the elite in Necromancer society,
and because their intelligence and ambition is no longer constrained by
any human emotion or conscience, they are remorseless enemies. Though vulnerable
to Light magic, they are resistant to most other forms of magic and possess
offensive and defensive spells.
Monk
Masters of the Unarmed physical attack, Monks
are followers of the powers of Light. Employing spells from Mind, Spirit
and Body, the Monks are powerful foes if angered. Monks are somewhat resistant
to Light magic, but affected by all other types.
Saracen
Dressed in chainmail and wielding a cutlass,
the saracen is basically a mercenary. Their loyalties lie with whomever
paid them last. As fragile as they may seem, they are capable of delivering
great damage quickly with skilled, strong swings of their cutlasses. They
have no appreciable magic resistance, though some saracens have been noted
to possess strong resistance to spells from the school of Mind.
Skeleton Warrior
The lowest caste of warriors animated by
Necromancers, skeletons are just that- the animated bones of the dead.
Skeletons exist only to serve their Necromancer masters, and will follow
any commands, no matter how self-destructive they may be. Though not incredibly
strong, they have otherworldly endurance, and their single-minded attacks
with a blatant disregard for their own well-being, makes them dangerous
opponents.
Swordsman
A master of the blade, the swordsman can
be found as guard, adventurer, and opponent. They are highly skilled in
the use of a sword, capable of breaking their opponent’s weapons with a
well-placed blow. Although they are not generally aggressive, rogue swordsmen
do exist and make tough opponents. Swordsmen have only slight resistance
to the various magics.
