PC Classes in the Pale

Here are some of the obstacles you will face with different class options you may be considering.


  • Clerics - It is advisable that if you decide to play a cleric, s/he should be a cleric of Pholtus. If you choose to be a cleric of another faith, you will find yourself with some serious opposition or will have to keep your faith a secret from pretty well everyone. See the section on Proselytizing by Non-Pholtans for potential consequences.  
  • Warriors - A good choice, but we really aren't trying to force you.
  • Rangers - Acceptable, although possibly not trusted by some. 
  • Paladins - Possibly could work toward the Pholtan Knights Valorous.  The challenge would be justifying why such a highly regarded person would join the grunts of a small garrison army.  Work with the DMs if you decide you want to try this class.
  • Sorcerers - Inherent talent, so there won't be any issues with training.  The trouble will occur as your "witchcraft" manifests itself in front of the citizens of the Pale.
  • Thieves - You could possibly be such a class, but think very small town! Opportunities for training will be very few, and the opportunities for theft of any scale will be non-existant.  A thief in the employ of the Theocracy's army would be like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
  • Wizards - Not a lot of magic to learn here in St. Jostema.  A wizard could belong to the Arcanist's Guild
  • Barbarians - Not looked upon fondly by the populace, since they are not from the Pale.
  • Monks - Unless you decided by choice to try and run a monk from a foreign land, you would likely be one of the "Disciples of Discipline", the monk order of Pholtus, whose headquarters is in Ogburg.
  • Bards - A bard would be a challenge.  Remember you have joined the army essentially.  There are definite role-playing possibilities here.
  • Druids - The standard Druid (undoubtedly of Flan Blood) is not well regarded in the Pale. There is a new movement within the church to establish Pholtian Druids (for lack of a better term) to help bring around the last of the populace who wtill cling to the "Old Faith".  Your PC could possibly be one of these.
