Character Classes

This setting has a few Viking-inspired character classes.

  • Runesmith:  a keeper of ancient secrets, a scholar of forgotten symbols, and a craftsman of mystical power.
  • Seer:  a powerful mystic who stands between the mortal world and the realms of spirits and fate.
  • Shield Maiden:  a formidable warrior, known for her courage, martial prowess, and unwavering loyalty.
  • Skald:  a vibrant master of word and deed, a charismatic performer, lorekeeper, and warrior.
  • Viking Warrior:  a fierce and relentless combatant, a master of axe and shield, and a survivor of the harshest lands.
  • Volva:  a powerful mystic and seeress, revered and sometimes feared, who channels the ancient magic of the land, spirits, and the threads of fate.

A Viking can also be a member of the traditional character classes, but with the following considerations:

  • A Viking Cleric would be for the whole Norse pantheon, but may have a particular patron.  As well, Viking clerics may use the axe and spear as weapons, and have a limited spell list.
  • A Viking Magic-User has likely traveled to another land to learn the ways of the Forbidden Arts.  They would likely be largely distrusted by other members of Viking society.
