Our announced Intelligence character class is the Witch. Monsters aligned with intelligence are often weak spell-casters who can be dangerous if not immediately dealt with. Intelligence armor pieces grant the wearer a mystical energy shield which protects them from blows and can recharge when they are out of combat. It is represented on weapons through improved critical strikes. Intelligence confers knowledge – of both arcane magic and deadly combat techniques. Many have, and they are counted among the burned and withered corpses in her wake. Though she may look frail and delicate, do not underestimate her. These are t he tools of the mighty witch and she wields them with a reckless power she can barely control. They burned her home and drove her from the village. They pointed fingers, pulled their children away and whispered in the streets. Our announced Dexterity character class is the Ranger. Monsters aligned with Dexterity are nimble and difficult to hit, often attacking from a distance or with multiple weapons. Dexterity armor pieces grant the ability to evade enemy blows more often. Dexterity (Green): The Rangerĭexterity confers agility in combat, and is represented on weapons by faster attack speeds. When cornered though, she fights as fiercely as a tigress with sword, dagger, mace, or whatever is at hand. Despite her prowess on the battlefield, the Ranger is most comfortable hidden from view, felling her opponents from a distance with her mighty long bow. It has also granted her the time and necessity to master a wide range of weapons.

Her time out away from the comfortable trappings of civilization has hardened her body and her spirit. Long eschewing the company of men, she has turned her affections to the deep and wild wilderness, and she travels alone. Padding silently through the dark forest, the lithe and stealthy ranger is at home. Our announced Strength character class is the Marauder. Monsters aligned with Strength generally hit hard and take many blows to defeat. Strength armor pieces grant physical damage reduction. Strength confers raw brute power, and is represented on weapons by high base damage. He plunges into battle with a cry of delight, and woe be to anyone foolish enough to get in his way. A master armsman, the Marauder is versed in many weapons, but he generally prefers the heft of a heavy two-handed axe or mace.

He is a monster of a man, towering above his cohorts and quick to show his strength and ferocity. The clanging, scraping and screaming of war is music to his ears, and he delights in crushing the skulls of his foes underfoot. His visage marked equally by tribal tattoos and the scars of battle, the imposing Marauder is a survivor of many bloody battles. A seventh class, the Scion, was released later, and can be unlocked near the end of Act 3. The picture to the left shows the starting position on the Skill Forest.
