ACKS CLASSES SUMMARIZED


CORE CLASSES: (need no explanation)

FIGHTER              CLERIC                 THIEF                    MAGE

ADDITIONAL HUMAN CLASSES

ASSASSIN, ANTI-PALADIN, BARBARIAN, BARD, BLADE-DANCER, EXPLORER, MYSTIC, PALADIN, PRIESTESS, SHAMAN, VENTURER, WARLOCK, WITCH
The assassin is a little more fighter-like and a little less thief like than AD&D.  Blade-dancer is a female sword-using cleric, Explorer is a weaker fighter with a lot of wilderness powers,  Mystic is like a more effective D&D monk,  Priestess is a cleric with better spell powers, but crappy in combat,  Shaman is like a druid,  Venturer is a crappy thief whose good at business,  Warlock is a mage with demon contacts and powers,  Witch is a cleric-type with some special features.

DWARF CLASSES:

CRAFT-PRIEST, DELVER, FURY, MACHINIST, VAULT-GUARD
Craft-priest is a dwarf cleric, vault-guard a dwarf fighter, delver is sort of a fighter-thief expert at caving exploration, Fury is a dwarf berserker, and machinist makes robots for a living.

ELF CLASSES

COURTIER, ENCHANTER, NIGHT-BLADE, RANGER, SPELL-SWORD
Courtier is an aristocrat, weakish fighter with some spell powers.  Enchanter is more or less a straight elf wizard, night-blade is a mage/assassin cross, ranger is a wilderness fighter, and spell-sword is a standard fighter-mage.

OTHER NON-HUMAN CLASSES:

GNOME TRICKSTER, NOBRIAN WONDER-WORKER, ZAHARIAN RUIN-GUARD
Gnome Trickster is a illusionist more or less;  Nobrian wonder-worker is a cleric-mage multi-class with divine ancestortry,  and a Zaharian ruin-guard is like Elric.

CUSTOM CLASSES BY ME:

GNOME TITAN, HALFLING BURGLAR, HALFLING SCOUT, LACKEY, ORKIN BANDIT
Gnome fighter, halfling thief, halfling explorer, Henchman, bushwhacker respectively.

THINGS I’M THINKING ABOUT:

HALFLING PUMPKIN QUEEN, HALF-ORC THUG (orkin), ORKIN HEX-MASTER
Meaning halfling priestess,  half-orc assassin, and cleric-mage half-orc mutliclass (Like Marlon's old guy) respectively.

  1. After having gone over all the classes, I'm still liking the dwarves the most, though I'm bugged by their lack of infravision. Depending on stat rolls, I'd be tempted to run a craft-priest or a fury once ACKS starts up. But I have been having an itch to run an arcane type spellcaster of some sort.
