Strength Brutes

Focus primarily on the Strength attribute, prefer to wear heavy armor, and typically spend most of their time in melee combat. Skills to focus on are your primary weapon, fighting, armour, shields, throwing, evocations, and invocations (if applicable).

Dexterity based

Focus primarily on the Dexterity attribute, prefer to wear medium armor, and can fight up close or at range. Skills to focus on are your primary weapon, fighting, dodging, stealth, hexes, evocations, and invocations (if applicable).

Mages/Mostly Magic
