Character Classes and Titles

Flare doesn't use a strict class system. On character creation there are five choices for starting class, but these are essentially default ways to buy level 1 equipment, attributes, and powers:

Brute: +1 Physical, starts with Dagger and Blood Strike
Adept: +1 Mental, starts with Wand and Shock
Scout: +1 Offense, starts with Slingshot and Piercing Shot
Keeper: +1 Defense, starts with Wooden Buckler and Heal
Wanderer: no points spent, starts with extra gold

I've intentionally renamed these starting classes to reflect a low level of power. I've gone in and created three entire tiers of titles that reflect the power a character gains as she grows.

Attribute	Level 1	Level 5	Level 9
Physical	Brute	Warrior	Warlord
Mental	Adept	Wizard	Archwizard
Offense	Scout	Ranger	Sniper
Defense	Keeper	Paladin	Templar
Physical Offense	Knave	Rogue	Assassin
Physical Defense	Squire	Knight	Lord
Mental Offense	Slinger	Striker	Tempest
Mental Defense	Shepherd	Cleric	High Priest
Physical Mental	Sparkblade	Battle Mage	Battle Archmage
Offense Defense	Watch	Warden	High Warden
Other	Wanderer	Adventurer	Hero

In addition there are two end-level titles. At level 12 a hero would have three attributes maxed and receive the title Master. At level 16 a hero would have all four attributes maxed and receive the title Grand Master.
