Class: Wizard
Motto: Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to burn you into ash.
Likes: Fire, burnination, mana-potion drinking contests.
Dislikes: Mana burn (the Wizards' Herpes), magic-resistant foes, heavy lifting.
Favorite Race: Elves and Gnomes are the best at mastering the magical arts, although some slovenly heathen Orcs and Humans can have some success with that hedge Wizard's PISORF glyph. No dignity in that, though.
Religious Preference: It may surprise people, but we're not all worshipers of Mystera Annur; in fact, a great many of us benefit more from The Earthmother; we can use IMAWAL more cheaply than anyone else, and furthermore Clearing can be an outrageous mana engine. Binlor Ironshield, Mystera Annur, and Jehora Jeheyu can all lower enemy magic resistance too, which is important to us.
Professional Skills: No one burns things like we do; we do it faster, and cheaper. In fact, no one can unload spells quite like a Wizard. Sure, we're a little limp-wristed with weapons, but not everything can be about bashing skulls. For every thing there is a reason - burn, burn, burn...
Class: Crusader
Motto: Blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull throne!
Likes: Smiting heathens, divine retribution, Patches the Teddy (even an avatar of justice just wants to cuddle sometimes, alright?), Agnostic's Collar.
Dislikes: Zombies, Meat Men, Oozes.
Favorite Race: Orcs and Humans, hands down. When you need to bring the pain, nothing else comes close.
Religious Preference: Really, we're willing to work with any deity who needs to lay a smackdown on unbelievers, but our core ability (HULK SMASH!) is best amplified by Taurog, the Pactmaker, and Tikki Tooki. Sometimes Binlor Ironshield comes in handy for ensuring enemies die in a single strike.
Professional Skills: With the proper set-up, no one can slay the land's greatest evils as quickly as a Crusader; capable of generating damage far beyond any other profession's, we're also masters of dealing with unpleasantries like Ick Swamp and the...disagreeable side effects of Patches the Teddy.
Class: Priest
Motto: We act on behalf of the Gods themselves, and none shall dare oppose us.
Likes: Goodness, Tri-Swords, Alchemist Scrolls, Warrior Pacts, and healthy living.
Dislikes: Undead, jokes about little children, the Glowing Guardian.
Favorite Race: Dwarf and Halfling, to the point where finding a Priest of any other race is considered rather odd.
Religious Preference: The Earthmother and Jehora Jeheyu figure in prominently, as well as the Pactmaker. There's a certain guilty pleasure in clearing all the undead out of a dungeon and then worshiping Dracul, as well. The Sanguine ability is particularly beneficial to Alchemist-Scroll-Wielding Dwarves.
Professional Skills: Drinking the Good Wine, blasting undead back into the foul Hells which spawned them, taking a beating that would knock the holy light out of lesser adventurers.
Class: Tinker
Motto: CHARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGE! (To our Kingdom Express Cards!)
Likes: Shopping, keeping up with the latest fashions - including the always in-season Gloves of Midas.
Dislikes: Sales tax, being unfashionable, inventory limits.
Favorite Race: Any will do, honey. We can make anyone look FABULOUS with enough money.
Religious Preference: Oh, beautiful, we LOVE Tikki Tooki - more gold is more shopping, and more shopping means more FUN, dahling! But really, deities are like black - they can go good with anything in the right situation.
Professional Skills: Rooting out secrets, bargains, and designer deals that'll make you squeal!
(Okay, I think that's it for me; Fran got Vampires and every other class can probably be done better by someone else or someone got to before me. Enjoy!)
