CHARACTER CLASSES REVISITED

The following Character Classes are meant to replace the ones found in the B/X rules as they are designed to take
advantage of the modifications and design philosophy of these Revised rules. That said, they are optional, and you can
certainly use the original character classes from B/X and pick-and-choose the Revised modules you wish to add to
them.

The bard can be seen as an ideal adventurer – a little like

a fighter, magic-user, historian and sage - but a master of
none. Above all, bards are artists and entertainers. Some
memorize and recite ancient tales of glory and defeat.
Some are proficient thespians who act out folk tales and
morality plays. Others become master musicians, singers,
poets, or chroniclers. Whichever path or combination of
paths a bard chooses, their artistic drive and ability will be
a major part of their life. In addition, many bards are driv-
en to a life of adventuring in a desire to discover ancient
mysteries and experience a few epic tales themselves.
Some bards train in bardic colleges while others find mas-
ter bards to train under.

The cavalier is the quintessential knight in shining armour.
Most cavaliers belong to the upper social class or nobility
of a society. The cavalier dedicates their life to the service
of a higher authority, such as a noble or sovereign, deity,
military or religious order, or a special cause. Theirs is a
hereditary honor that comes with the price of lifelong
service to their monarch, country, or other object or enti-
ty. The cavalier is expected to participate in any wars or
other armed conflict in which their lord or cause is en-
gaged. Cavaliers in service to other nobles often serve
their master beyond the battlefield as well, performing
such duties as their skills, and their noble lord, see fit. The
cavalier often pursues such selfless goals as the eradica-
tion of evil and chaos from the world, and justice for all
the subjects of his land. He can also be a bully and a
braggart who uses his status and privileges to pursue only
his own self-aggrandizement.

Dark Elves live in the caves below the earth, or the dark-
est parts of ancient forests and rarely venture to the sur-
face or to civilized lands. Theirs is a society of secrets and
discipline. Their pale skin and white hair are only aug-
mented by their jewel coloured eyes and larger than usual
pointed ears. They also tend to find things from the out-
side world fascinating, even mundane things, and will
often trade for them, or steal them right-out. They are
renowned assassins, often found in the employ of the
wealthiest crime lords.

and the robust physique of humans. They are human-like

Half-orcs are the wretched offspring of a human and an

orc. Player characters of this class favour their human
parent, albeit as a brutish specimen. They are typically
outcasts from both their parent cultures, living on the
fringes of society, making a living by whatever means
they can, which is usually violent and bloody.

Hedge Mages are magic users without formal training at

an academy and as such tend to have their magic from
nature and their environment rather than from deep
tomes of arcane knowledge. Often called druids they tend
to the needs of communities, but often can be seen as
mysterious and dangerous outside of times of need.

Spell Casting: A Hedge Mage casts spells by reaching out

to the natural world around them, not by following scripts
or scrolls, as such they do not use mana like a Wizard,
but instead have a limited number of spells they can cast
per day. They use Wisdom for the spell casting Ability

substituting Intelligence with Wisdom for known spells,

either, but their spells are limited to Druid spells from Old
School Essentials. They meditate every morning to regain
their spell slots and may cast any spell that they know.

Slayers are primitive tribal warriors from wild, uncivilised

lands. They are formidable fighters with many useful sur-

their fierce distrust of all things magical, a Slayer may
never benefit from the use of any magical item. In addi-
tion, a Slayer will never willingly submit to being the tar-
get of beneficial magic, with the exception of spells that
heal damage or cure status conditions such as poison,
diseases and curses. At 1st level Slayer cannot read or

Wizards are supreme magic-users, defined and united as a

class by the spells they cast. Drawing on the subtle weave
of magic that permeates the cosmos, wizards cast spells
of explosive fire, arcing lightning, subtle deception, and
brute-force mind control. Their magic conjures monsters
from other planes of existence, glimpses the future, or
turns slain foes into zombies. Their mightiest spells
change one substance into another, call meteors down
from the sky, or open portals to other worlds.

 Spell Casting: Wizards carry spell books containing the
formulae for arcane spells. They are limited to casting
only by their Mana Point score. To cast they must make
an Intelligence Check, with a penalty of the spell Level (1-
6) and any other factors (such as the above armour rules).
Success or failure still requires them to spend the mana. If
they fail, the spell does not occur. See the Magic section
later for rules on Spell criticals and fumbles. Their Intelli-
gence score will determine the number of spells in the
Wizard’s spell book. New spells must be found, given, or
researched.
The major exceptions to the above rule are Cantrips.
Cantrips are used at-will, do not cost mana, do not re-
quire a spell roll, and are not part of any single School of
Magic. All Wizards start with Read Magic, Detect Magic,
and two of the remaining four Cantrips in the spell sec-
tion. They may be taught, find, or research other cantrips
later.
Every morning the Wizard must spend at least a couple of
hours studying their spell book to refresh their knowledge
of their spells. If they do not do this, they receive a cumu-
lative -2 on casting rolls for each day they do not study.
Using Magic Items: As spell casters, Wizards are able to
use magic scrolls of spells on their spell list. They can also
use items that may only be used by arcane spell casters
(e.g. magic wands).
After Reaching 11th Level
A Wizard may build a stronghold, often a great tower.
1d6 apprentices of levels 1–3 will then arrive to study
under the Wizard.
Abjuration: Spells that protect, block, or banish. An abju-

Conjuration: Spells that bring creatures or materials to the
caster. A conjuration specialist is called a Conjurer.
Divination: Spells that reveal information. A divination
specialist is called a Diviner.
Enchantment: Spells that imbue the recipient with some
property or grant the caster power over another being.
An enchantment specialist is called an Enchanter.
Evocation: Spells that manipulate energy or create some-
thing from nothing. An evocation specialist is called an
Evoker.
Illusion: Spells that alter perception or create false imag-

Necromancy: Spells that manipulate, heal, create, or de-
stroy life or life force. A necromancy specialist is called a
Necromancer.

cally or change its properties in a more subtle way. A

you need one minute to do so.

check to fix it. Each attempt takes the entirety of your
action.

9-16 • Ooops! You hit an unintended target. Randomise

all combatants, both friends and foes, within 10 feet (for a
short-range attack, or 30 feet for a long-range attack) and
roll a second attack roll. If you beat their armour class roll
damage as if they were your intended target.

17-18 • Ammo Accident. Your quiver spills (50% strap

broken, 50% you tilt it over by accident), and the remain-
der of your arrows (or bolts) fall to the floor. If you remain
still you can use a bonus action to pick up one a round
and still fire using your main action. If your quiver's strap
is not broken, you can use your main action to pick up
2d8 arrows and put them back in your quiver.
