Character Class

Each Mutants & Magic PC has a class. A character’s class is his profession or vocation. It determines what he is able to do: prime requisites, combat training, special abilities, and more.

• Fighter: Possess exceptional combat capability and skill with weapons.
• Magic-User: A potent spellcaster schooled in the arcane arts.
• Cleric: Disciple of divine forces and a decent warrior as well.
• Thief: A scoundrel and sneak who survives by stealth rather than brute force.
• Hunter: A master of survival and skilled hunter of the wilds.
• Psionicist: Focus on the development of superior psychic powers.
