Listed in this section are the profiles for some of the major races in the Dark World RPG, as well as primary and secondary classes.
It is important to be aware that not all races listed are available for new applicants to play, as some are restricted while a few are for NPC use only. Be aware of the restrictions and please keep them in mind when creating a character.
Some races have class restrictions, so please be sure your race is playable with the class you select!! Racial class restrictions are listed on all race pages.
Each character has a Primary Class that determines what role they play in the world. When you create a character you must select ONE Primary Class. This class defines the basis for their major skill sets, including combat skill, magic use and types, and the kinds of weapon and armor they can utilize. A character will only have one class, and changing this Primary Class is prohibited.
Characters can NOT be dual-classed (having two Primary Classes).
Some Primary Classes have Sub-Classes, which are slight variations of the Primary Class. These classes are still considered a Primary Class. If the Primary Class is listed for playable races then that race can play the sub-classes as well, so long as there is no note stating otherwise.
A character can also have one or several secondary classes. Basicall secondary classes are complimentary skills/trades that your character is skilled in. Secondary classes don't define the primary class, but are utilized to emphasize why and/or how your character utilizes their Primary Class. Some secondary classes are just extra abilities that your character has gained from experience. An assassin, a demon hunter, or an articifer are examples of secondary classes. There are limits to how much your character can be skilled in, however. More than one secondary class is uncommon. As stated, secondary classes must be in compliment or be general in context to the character's Primary Class and to their other secondary classes. This means a Warrior can be a blacksmith and a cook, or a demon hunter and a mercenary.
