Description:
‘His prowess was such that none in Gondor could stand against him in those weapon-sports in which he delighted, seeming rather a champion than a captain or king. . . .’ - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Appendix A

A true master of arms, the Champion excels at combat, focusing on little other than destroying his foes. The Champion’s whirling blades can strike fear into the heart of even the foulest orc, cutting down swaths of their numbers at once. While a Champion’s training and armor grants him some survivability, it is not his focus, and a Champion can quickly find himself in trouble when facing several foes on his own.

The Champion will be the class of choice for players that enjoy fast-paced combat with multiple options available at any given moment. Champions can use various weapon styles, but focus on using two weapons simultaneously. With their active play-style Champions are able to consistently cause large amounts of damage to both single and multiple opponents in combat. Their style of combat revolves around the idea that the best defense is a good offense.

Skills

• Wild Attack: A damaging attack. This increases fervor, allowing the use of other Champion skills.
• Flurry: An attack that increases the Champion’s attack speed and fervor.
• Blade Storm: A 360-degree area-of-effect attack.
• Champion’s Challenge: A taunting cry that forces the target to face and attack the Champion.
• Savage Strikes: A double attack.
• Blade Wall: A frontal area-of-effect attack.
• Exchange of Blows: For every strike the Champion receives from her enemy, she returns the blow.
• Hedge: A de-taunt that will maintain the Champion’s current Fervour state.
• Brutal Strikes: A triple attack.

Traits

• Call of the Wild: The Champion’s Wild Attack generates additional threat and she gains a small amount of natural armour.
• At the Ready: The Champion’s base block rate is increased and she gains a small amount of natural armour.

‘And this I also say: you are our captain and our banner. The Dark Lord has Nine. But we have One, mightier than they. . . .’ -The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, “The White Rider”

Bearing her banner into battle, a Captain provides hope and leadership to her fellows, inspiring them to greater deeds. A skilled Captain can rally a party back from the brink of defeat, or seal a victory against many foes. While a Captain is a respected fighter on her own accord, she is primarily driven by her powerful sense of leadership to those fighting around her.

The Captain will be the class of choice for players who enjoy supporting their fellows while participating in melee combat. With her unique ability to plant banners to increase the battle prowess of those near them, the Captain helps to define where a fight will happen. Her battle cries allow her to take advantage of certain events in combat to aid the morale or combat ability of her fellows. A Captain’s style of combat focuses on inspiring those around her to glory.

Skills

• Rallying Cry: When the Captain’s enemy is defeated, her cry boosts her fellowship’s morale.
• War-cry: When the Captain’s enemy is defeated, she lets out a cry which rallies her nearby companions to attack with greater speed and determination.
• Command: Make Haste: Inspires the Captain’s fellowship to greater haste, both in and out of battle.
• Defensive Strike: The Captain attacks defensively, causing light damage but recovering quickly to protect herself from returned attacks.
• Enraged Shout: A fearsome shout which strikes terror into the hearts of enemies and puts the Captain into a battle-readied state.
• Pressing Attack: Allows the Captain to swing twice at her enemy, inflicting medium damage.
• Harrowing Mark: The Captain leaves a Mark on her enemy, increasing all damage dealt to that foe by her fellowship.
• Telling Mark: The Captain leaves a Mark on her enemy, pointing out a weakness in the enemy’s armour, which increases the chance that her companions will critically wound it.
• Cry of Vengeance: When a companion falls, the Captain’s Cry inspires nearby companions to greater feats of skill.

Traits

• Captain’s Valour: The Captain’s Banner of War evokes greater effects upon her allies.
• Captain’s Hope: The Captain’s Banner of Hope evokes greater effects upon her allies.

‘You can say Expert Treasure-hunter instead of Burglar if you like. . . .’ -The Hobbit, “An Unexpected Party”

A stealthy trickster, the Burglar can dart in and out of the shadows to befuddle, weaken, or damage foes. An unexpected strike from behind by a burglar can stun or trip enemies, allowing others in her party to combine their efforts for a devastating attack. Unassuming on her own, a burglar would be wise to not be caught alone.

The Burglar will be the class of choice for players that enjoy using cunning and tricks to defeat their opponents. Using concealment, a Burglar can strike from the shadows, taking her opponents unawares. With her wit, a Burglar can show her allies where a foe’s weakness lies — or trap someone in a riddle. A Burglar’s combat style hinges on her ability to outmaneuver and outwit her opponents while hitting them where it hurts.

Skills of Burglar:

• Sneak: Allows the Burglar to move about unseen, though there is a chance of detection.
• Surprise Strike: An atack in which the Burglar inflicts more damage when attacking from behind or while sneaking.
• Burglar’s Advantage: Execute another attack after a critical hit, inflicting more damage when the Burglar attacks from behind.
• Trip: Knock an opponent down, opening up a conjunction opportunity if the Burglar is in a fellowship. Only useable while sneaking.
• Diversion: When in stealth, the Burglar can divert an enemy’s attention away from himself for a short time.
• Cunning Attack: The Burglar’s formidable cunning allows a darting attack which continues to deal damage after he strikes, dealing even more damage if the attack is made while sneaking.
• Double-edged Strike: After using Burglar’s Advantage, make two attacks against the target.
• Aim: The Burglar’s careful aim ensures the next damage-dealing attack skill will critical and has much lower chance of missing.
• Subtle Stab: Make a quick, sharp attack against a foe.

Traits:

• Hidden Danger: The Burglar’s attacks while using Stealth are far more accurate, reducing the chances that he may miss or that his enemy may somehow avoid them.
• Footpad: The Burglar’s ability to move about with Stealth has developed beyond his natural aptitude.
