Character Classes
Most of the character classes are based on the Castles and Crusades system. The bards, cleric, and monk are extremely different from the C&C versions. C&C does not have a sorcerer. The general rules are covered on my companion website, Old School Dungeons & Dragons (link here). The basic character classes are detailed on that site (link here).
This page lists the classes that are in the campaign world. For the first campaign, some classes are not available (NA) and humans are the only player character race. These limitations are due to the plot and campaign world.
Follow the links below for each class to customize your character for the realm of Prealith.
"Class" will link you to the generic class details while "Faction" will link to specific Prealith variations and factions for that class.
If a character class is not available in the 1st campaign, it will be marked NA (not available). Again, classes and additional races for the classes will open up for the 2nd campaign...
