Character Classes

Character classes are largely copies of the Castle and Crusaders classes.  A few are modifications.

The Character classes presented here are the generic classes.  I have the broad limitations for playing these classes in the Paksenarrion world.  In some cases, the class details remain the same but the character needs to belong to a specific group which will be indicated. Additional details will be presented on my Paksenarrion campaign world website.  For those players familiar with that world, the campaign will take place in Prealith (which is a neighbouring realm to where the stories take place).  There will be heavy influence from Elizabeth Moon's work - but Prealith is almost completely a blank canvas. 

Classes:
Follow the "Class Details" links for the specific details, skills, etc. of the general class.
Note the "Possible limitations or conditions". These either limit which group the character can belong to or impose a condition that differs from the generic class write up. 
     Note: These conditions are designed not to restrict the player, but to give his/her character a firm connection to the world with a rich background and to avoid complications faced by members of that class who do not have those conditions...  Race limitations will be added.  Presently expect human for all classes.
