Ambodia General

So here are the classes made up for Ambodia 2. These are just my ideas, not necessarily the ones we’ll actually use. Everyone can post ideas on the classes and we’ll just pick the best. There are also a bunch of subclasses. I’d say you can pick one when your character reaches level 15.

First I have a few stats each character will have:
Health: Once it reaches 0 you die and can't continue your current quest, pretty simple.
Physical attack: Determines damage dealt by physical objects.
Physical defence: Determines your defence against physical objects and decreases the damage dealt by them.
Magical attack: Determines damage dealt by spells and magic.
Magical defence: Determines your defence against spells and magic and decrease the damage dealt by them.
Energy: All actions cost energy. You'll regenerate some over time but if you have 0 energy during a quest you can't do anything.
Attack range: (Short/Medium/Long) This determines from where you can attack enemies. Not sure how and if we'll use this but maybe we could let people pick positions in combat or sometimes enemies attack from a long distance and you have to move to a proper attack distance.

There should also be weapons, armour, spells and abilities.
Weapons will increase your damage output.
Armour will increase your defensive stats.
Spells can have all kind of different effects and are usually magical.
Abilities are usually the physical versions of spells.

Both spells and abilities have energy costs

Now, the classes:


Warriors focus on close combat and deal a lot of physical damage. They also have decent physical defence but are weaker to magical attacks.



Soldier
A soldier will deal more physical damage but have less physical and magical defence than the knight (other subclass).
Knight
A knight will have more physical defence and some magical defence. But he’ll deal less damage than the soldier. He will also get a slight health boost.

Spy

A spy relies mostly on stealth and deception. This makes him suitable for taking enemies by surprise or for slipping pat certain obstacles. He’ll have an interesting basic ability:

Stealth: The spy conceals himself in the shadows, becoming invisible to everyone. This can be used in combat and in certain other parts of quests.

In combat the spy deals physical damage, but he can only attack when’s really close to his target.



Assassin
The assassin specializes in taking out single targets. He can use stealth to get close to them and then he backstab them. The assassin gains bonus physical damage and a more powerful stealth ability in combat situations. He also gets the ability backstab: This ability can only be used after stealth and deals 2 times the assassin’s physical damage.
Thief
The thief is an interesting subclass that doesn’t really focus on fighting during combat but on weakening the enemy. The thief has an unique ability called disarm: This ability gives the thief a chance to take an item from his opponent. This could be his weapon, his armour or his equipment. This will make it easier for your allies to take out the enemy. The thief can also steal items during your quest. This makes him useful during non-combat parts of a quest as well.

Wizard

Wizards use spells to defeat their enemies. Their most important stat is magical damage. Wizards can unlock or buy new spells that they can use during quests and combat. Because of this every wizard has unique powers.



Weak blast: Deals the wizards magical damage.

Sorcerer
The sorcerer gains a lot of magical damage and some magic defence. He can also cast spells at a long distance. He also obtains the curse spell: Deals 10 magical damage each round for three rounds of combat.
Necromancer
The necromancer doesn’t rely on his own power as much as the sorcerer. Instead he has the ability to temporarily revive the dead and make them fight for him in combat. He can do this with the reawaken spell: Revives a dead opponent or ally during 3 quest obstacles. The revived creature will have 25% of his normal stats and will count as an entity separate from the necromancer, so both the necromancer and his creatures can attack at the same time.

Both subclasses can become more powerful by unlocking more spells.

Ranger

Rangers are powerful long-distance fighters that deal a significant amount of physical damage. They have a good protection against magical damage but are quite weak against physical damage.



Hunter
The hunter has more magical defence and can also attack from short distances. He also has a special ability tame: This ability will give the hunter a chance to tame an animal during a quest. The animal will then work and fight for the hunter until it is killed. The animal will have 20% of his normal stats. The chances of successfully taming an animal are based on the animals remaining energy, physical defence and health. There is no limit to how long the animal will stay with the hunter, it could even stay with him after the quest. But if it dies it cannot be revived. Tamed animals can be sold and trained.
Archer
The archer deals much more physical damage than the hunter. The archer also has a special ability called snipe: Snipe gains one charge for each attack the archer skips. Once snipe is used it consumes all charges and deals damage for basic physical damage x amount of charges x 1,2

Guardian

The guardian is a supportive class. They can do some damage on their own but their primary purpose is to help their allies. The guardian starts with more health and magical and physical defence. But with only a little bit of damage. The guardian starts with an ability called protect: This ability allows you to take all damage that will be dealt to an ally during the next round of combat.



Healer
The healer focuses on healing allies. Their spells and magical attack and defence will determine how much they can heal. The healer starts with the minor heal ability: The healer restores health (Magical attack + 10% of target’s health) to a target.
Commander
The commander leads and inspires allies, granting them certain boosts in combat and during quests. The commander is not very dependent on his stats, unlike most other classes. But he is very dependent on his abilities, spells and energy. So he gets a boost to his energy and obtains two starting abilities:
Minor offensive inspiration: The commander inspires other allies to deal 10% more damage during the next round of combat.
Minor protection: The commander protects his allies by increasing their defensive stats by 10% during the next turn.
