Adventurers of Asmythe come in many varieties, both mundane and magical. Herein is a brief list of some of the most common kinds of adventurers.

Most heroes gain their abilities from one of three different sources. All magic comes from the Forge but not all heroes rely on magic and the Forge can manifest in many ways.

Mundane Professions

Mundane professions are those that don't draw on the power of the Forge for their skills and abilities; they are extraordinary through personal attainment. Mundane professions have no supernatural or spell abilities.

Warriors

Warriors come in many varieties, from simple militia men to the barbarians of the wastes. They excel in combat and their abilities come from training and experience.

Rogues

Craftsmen

Infused Professions

Infused professions are those that gain their supernatural abilities from an eternal. Usually this means conducting a ritual that binds the hero and the eternal together in some way. Infused professions may have supernatural abilities and spell or spell-like abilities that they can use without preparation; these abilities usually come with some kind of restrictions on how or when they can be used.

Champions

Witches

Druids

Magical Professions

Magical professionals have learned to draw directly on the power of the forge. These professions usually require many years of mental and/or physical training. Magical professions are able to perform great feats of magical ability, but their spells are slow or take a lot of time to prepare in advance.

Wizards

Priests
