[COMMUNITY PROJECT] MISSIONGARDE -- CLASS REFINING IN PROGRESS

I say nix the Ranger class.

Replace him with the Freelancer:

Freelancer
Class Rank: Basic
Class Points: 800
Description:The Freelancer is the typical "Hero" class, that can do it all, but does not excel in any particular area.

HP: 4
MP: 3
STR: 3
DEF: 3
INT: 3
AGL: 4

Battle Commands: (Explain any new ones)
FIGHT
MAGIC
ITEM
ESCAPE

Spells:
(Spell Name - Level Gained - explanation if unusual)
Lower level spells including basic healing, status inflicting, and elemental/black magic spells. Learns them later than the other classes, and doesn't learn the more powerful spells.

Condition/Attribute Resistances:
None.

Dual Wield? No
Mighty Guard? No
AI Control? No
Lock Equip.? No
EXP leveling: Average

Equipment Notes:
Can equip most equipment except for the very heaviest items (Full Plate, Great Helm, Massive Club, etc...)

General Notes:
The Freelancer is very versatile, but doesn't have any particular strengths. He also would have the option to advance to any class.

The Bard is a rogue in my books. His skills are kind of like the Artificier's in a way - no MP cost, but lower guarantee to hit.

I hate to keep borrowing from my earlier games, but the Daredevil class was an elite rogue class that was absolutely lethal in battle - arguably the best class in the game.

Daredevil
Class Rank: Elite
Class Points: lots
Description:
Master rogue class, incredibly fast with the ability to strike.

HP: 6
MP: 5
STR: 5
DEF: 6
INT: 6
AGL: 9 INSANE!

Battle Commands: (Explain any new ones)
STRIKE
ITEM
ESCAPE

Strike
Effect Chance
Regular Attack 75%
Shadow Strike 10% (Daredevil turns invisible temporarily!)
Power Strike 10% (Critical attack)
Attack x5 5%

Spells:
(Spell Name - Level Gained - explanation if unusual)

He should be able to access Artificier tools, and perhaps sing like a Bard.

Being a Daredevil, he ought to have some sort of RISKY skill, wherein he sacrifices something (like HP, say) for the chance for a huge payoff (like, massive damage or something).

He should STEAL/RAID too.

Condition/Attribute Resistances:
?

Dual Wield? YES
Mighty Guard? no
AI Control? no
Lock Equip.? no
EXP leveling: Fast
Equipment Notes:
He would have similar equipment as the Raider.

General Notes:
I'm a little hazy on his skills, or even if we should include it. Basically, what I did in HR was take the best abilities from the Rogue classes and merge it into the Daredevil.



Ninja
Class Rank: Elite
Class Points: lots
Description:
An assassin-like class, meant for killing and stealth

HP: 7
MP: 5
STR: 6

It was fine until people started suggesting classes without having read first. =/

We just need to settle on two Elite rogue classes, and we're done. Daredevil and Ninja will probably be it.

They are practically the same class in many ways. Personally, I liked Agent class, and I don't mind the Charmer.

I'd go with Daredevil and Agent so far.
