These are the Classes currently available for your Kitsu to choose from. More may be added over time! Each Class has a short description and then a list of Class Abilities to choose from. Remember, you may only pick one Ability and that's all you ever get, so choose wisely!
For now, multi-classing is not an option, sorry!
Fighter
A Fighter is a Kitsu who focuses mostly on physical fighting and strength. Some take up arms for glory, wealth, or revenge. Others do battle to prove themselves, to protect others, or because they know nothing else. Still others learn the ways of weaponcraft to hone their bodies in battle and prove their mettle. These Kitsusagi are often town guards, soldiers, roving guardians or those who seek out battle just for the sake of fighting.
- Strength Prevails - this ability gives the Fighter an extra point in their Physical stat at the start, and each time they raise their stats. Continuous effect
- Rage - this ability gives a Fighter one extra die on an Attack roll once per battle - but the Kitsu may not defend, or use any type of healing ability for two turns afterward. This skill takes one full move in battle as Attack and should go off with attack roll
- Quick on Your Feet - this ability means a Fighter is unusually fast and agile - they get an extra die when rolling their Physical stat to dodge attacks or doing something such as running (in a normal RP, if using dice). May use when Dodging and may use multiple times in battle.
Cleric
In faith and the miracles of the divine, many Kitsu find a greater purpose. Called to serve powers beyond most mortal understanding, all priests preach wonders and provide for the spiritual needs of others. Clerics are more than mere priests, though; these emissaries of the divine work the will of the divine through strength of arms and magic given to them by the gods. Many Clerics that follow the more good-aligned gods also tend to be healers.
- Healing Prayer - this ability lets a Cleric roll 1d6 one time per battle, and call on the gods to heal themselves or another Kitsu for the amount rolled on the die. This skill takes one full move in battle as Other- healing
- Virtue - this ability means the Cleric can touch another Kitsu and give them one extra point of HP that will last for one battle. This skill takes one full move in battle as other. May be used multiple times in battle but only once per target in battle.
- Smite Evil - this ability gives the Cleric one extra die on an attack against an opponent that is of a dark or evil nature (note that all Nightmares may not be evil, this would be reflected in their actions!) This skill takes one full move in battle as Attack and should go off with attack roll
Bard
Untold wonders and secrets exist for those Kitsu skillful enough to discover them. Through cleverness, talent, and magic, these cunning few unravel the wiles of the world, becoming adept in the arts of persuasion, manipulation, and inspiration. Typically masters of one or many forms of artistry, bards possess an uncanny ability to know more than they should and use what they learn to keep themselves and their allies one step ahead of danger.
- Inspiration - this ability allows a Bard to choose an ally and give them one extra die to use on whatever they choose in their next turn. They cannot use this ability on themselves but can use this ability multiple times in battle. This skill takes one full move in battle as Other
- Bardic Knowledge - this ability gives a Bard one extra die on their Mental stat to roll when they are trying to remember a story, decipher some ancient text, study ruins, etc etc. Continuous effect.
- Distraction - this ability allows a Bard to do something very distracting during a battle that will cause their opponent to lose one die on their next turn. can be used multiple times in battle. This skill takes one full move in battle as Other
Rogue
Life is an endless adventure for those Kitsu who live by their wits. Always just one step ahead of danger, rogues bank on their cunning, skill, and charm to bend fate to their favor. Never knowing what to expect, they prepare for everything, becoming masters of a wide variety of skills, training themselves to be adept manipulators, agile acrobats, shadowy stalkers, or masters of any of dozens of other professions or talents.
- Sneak Attack - this ability gives a Rogue one extra die to roll if they are attacking from out of hiding. Please keep it logical, if the other Kitsu has seen you in their turn right before yours, you cannot use a Sneak Attack. This skill takes one full move in battle as Attack and should go off with attack roll can go off multiple times in battle if it makes sense.
- Trap Finding - this ability gives a Rogue one extra die on a Mental roll to search for traps in an area. continuous effect
- Evasion - this ability allows the Rogue to completely evade one attack per battle.
Mage
Beyond the veil of the mundane hide the secrets of absolute power. The works of beings beyond mortals, the legends of realms where gods and spirits tread, the lore of creations both wondrous and terrible—such mysteries call to those Kitsu with the ambition and the intellect to rise above the common folk to grasp true might. Whether they posses inborn magical abilities that have been honed to perfection, or have spent their lives studying and practicing different spells, mages are usually respected all over the Realms for the powers they wield.
- Familiar Guardian - this ability allows a Mage to make a Guardian that is attached to them into a Familiar. Having a Familiar means that the Kitsu can choose one extra Spell for the Familiar to 'hold' for them. However, if their Familiar is specifically targeted in battle and is too badly hurt (an attack strikes them), they will not be able to use the Spell the Familiar is 'holding'. If attacking, the Familiar adds an extra die to the Mage's attack every other turn.
- Elemental Magic - this ability gives the Mage a +1 bonus to any Spell of a certain element that must be chosen when this ability is chosen, and cannot be changed. Available elements are Water, Frost, Fire, Lightning and Wind. Continuous effect
- Scribe Scroll - this ability allows a Mage to write down any Spell they know on a Scroll. The Scroll can then be used by any Kitsu, whether they have any magical ability of their own or not. Not usable in battle
Druid
Within the purity of the elements and the order of the wilds lingers a power beyond the marvels of civilization. Allies to beasts and manipulators of nature, these often misunderstood protectors of the wild strive to shield nature from all who would threaten it and prove the might of the wilds to those who lock themselves behind city walls. Rewarded for their devotion with incredible powers, druids gain knowledge of the wilds, the companionship of mighty beasts, and the power to call upon nature’s wrath.
- Beast Companion - this ability allows a Druid to attempt to make a companion out of a wild beast they have fought and defeated in a solo battle. The companion beast can act along with the Druid in battles, either attacking or using their own special abilities. If attacking, the companion adds an extra die to the Druid's attack. Companion beast can only act every other turn - they must rest in between. There are only certain beasts that can be companions. Please see the post below for these beasts and the ways they can help their Druid friends.
- Favored Enemy - this ability allows a Druid to choose a certain type of beast (ex: canine, feline, etc) and they will get an extra die to roll when fighting that type of beast. The type must be chosen when this ability is chosen and cannot be changed. Contentious effect
- Nature Sense - this ability allows a Druid to be very comfortable in the wild. They can move around any sort of terrain without difficulty and can usually avoid common dangers in the area (ex: avoiding passing beneath trees where they know a venomous type of snake tends to hunt). Continuous effect
Alchemist
Whether secreted away in a smoky basement laboratory or gleefully experimenting in a well-respected school of magic, the alchemist is often regarded as being just as unstable, unpredictable, and dangerous as the concoctions they brew. While some creators of alchemical items content themselves with sedentary lives as merchants, providing potions and salves, the true alchemist answers a deeper calling. Rather than cast magic like a mage, the alchemist captures his own magic potential within liquids and extracts he creates, infusing his chemicals with virulent power to grant him impressive skill with poisons, explosives, and all manner of other magical effects.
- Brew Potion - this ability allows an Alchemist to create potions using ingredients found in nature. In order to successfully make a potion, they must roll at least 3 successes using whatever Stat they wish (usually Mental, sometimes Physical). This can be done as a turn in battle, or as part of any other RP. Potions available to create will be listed in the post below.
- Poison Resistance - this ability means that the Alchemist does not take as much damage from poisons as others. If they are subjected to poison in a battle or RP, they can negate one success from the opponent's die, or one point of damage from the poison. continuous effect
- First Aid - this ability is due to the Alchemist studying their own body, or those of others. They can use it to heal 1d4 points of damage to themselves or another Kitsu once per battle.

Shaman
Those who linger on the end of life and death often enough have seen things that make little sense and with the return of the gods they seem to become more well know.
- Veil of sight: The ability to see ghosts. Sadly they can not be heard so you might have to find a way to communicate issues or conversations

Devote of the Gods
The return of the gods to the land have woken up a new revival in those devoted to them. The good and bad have come forward in their worship and hope offering up their prayers to the gods in hopes of being chosen for blessings and guidance. please note this is a general class any blessings from the gods will be on the individual gods pages. Any spells they wish to grant to their follower will be given at spell level 2 or above restricted to follower of X god so they may not be solely tied to this class. (example god of healing my be open to devotee's and clerics who follow them)
- Call back to the gods: This ability will vary based on chance and the breed of the user. If Selected you will roll a dice in a thread -Link thread- and will be messaged by staff if you have rolled a special breed ability and what it does. You do not have to take this ability .

Trick Fool
A class that is well loved by the god of trickery. Things down always work out the way you want them to in this class, it has also been called the chance class or the random class. Still these misfits have found their way in the world and are something to behold.
- Magical counterfeit: Rather then casting spells with elements small random items can be summoned and used in place. Example pans, pies, hats, shoes. The item will disappear on it’s own after a hour has passed. (battle wise it works like any casted elemental assault and only affect the Rp bit of battle and events) This skill takes one full move in battle as Attack and should go off with attack roll can be used multiple times in battle
