Alter Aeon is a multi-class MUD meaning that you will be using multiple classes at once, so try to think of classes more as a set of skills and spells than as your fixed role. While you may start the game as a Warrior you will certainly pick up the spells from the caster classes for protection in the case of Cleric, or utility in the case of Mage for example. Likewise, even if you decide to be a casting class (Mage, Cleric, Druid, and to some extent Necromancer) you will at the very least dip into the Warrior of Thief skill lines for utility in the form of [[Dodge]] or [[Parry]].
* [[Mage]] - Adepts of elemental and illusion magic. Able to command powerful elemental minions, brew potent potions, or simply turn everything around them to ash.
* [[Cleric]] - Heal the sick, protect with divine shields, support your party with enhanced fortitude and vigor, and lay waste to the undead.
* [[Necromancer]] - Masters of summoning all things demonic, undead, or otherwise unearthly. By capturing the souls of their enemies or using the corpses of the foes they've slain they can bolster their numbers to protect the group or deal damage to their enemies.
* [[Druid]] - Falling somewhere between a Mage and a Necromancer, Druids have the ability to call forth aid from the creatures around them or from the elements themselves as well as being able to enhance or create their own equipment by carving powerful runes.
* [[Thief]] - Guileful, conniving, and deadly. Able to deal massive amounts of damage while evading the enemy with their wide array of nefarious tactics. Whether it's by poison, grenades, or controlling the shadows, thieves have a tool for every job.
* [[Warrior]] - Stand as the first line of defense, tactically dismantle your enemies, or fly into a wild rage until your enemies are nothing but a red mist.


* [[Mage]] - Role: Caster, Damage, Utility. Spellcasting class relying on [[Intelligence]] and [[Wisdom]] to deal damage or enhance their party with shield and utility spells.
Alter Aeon is a multi-class MUD meaning that you will be using multiple classes at once so our playstyle is determined more by the combination of abilities you choose than your highest level class.
* [[Cleric]] - Role: Caster, Damage, Healing. Spellcasting class relying on [[Wisdom]] and [[Charisma]] to primarily heal and protect the party with divine shields though not to be trifled with when the undead are concerned. Having close ties to the divine allows them to do away with the undead just as well as any of the damage focused classes.
* [[Thief]] - Role: Melee, Damage, Utility. Melee class relying on [[Dexterity]] to deal massive amounts of damage while evading the enemy with their wide array of nefarious tactics. Whether it's by poison, grenades, or controlling the shadows themselves thieves have no shortage of tools in their toolbox to dispatch their enemies or avoid them completely.
* [[Warrior]] - Role: Melee, Damage, Protector. Melee class relying on [[Strength]], and [[Constitution]] to go toe-to-toe with their foes. Warriors are the protectors (also known as tanks) for the group. Their skillset is not only for defense however, sometimes fully eschewing defense for offense in a berserker rage.
* [[Necromancer]] - Role: Caster, Damage, Minions. The necromancer is the master of summoning all things demonic, undead, or otherwise unearthly. By capturing the souls of their enemies or using the corpses of the foes they've slain they can bolster their numbers to protect the group or deal damage to their enemies.
* [[Druid]] - Role: Caster, Damage, Utility. Falling somewhere between a Mage and a Necromancer, Druids have the ability to call forth aid from the creatures around them or from the elements themselves as well as being able to enhance or create their own equipment by carving powerful runes.
