Ranger

Magic Classes
Choose a magic class to wield extraordinary powers that can shape the world around you, whether through divine blessings, arcane spells, or the forces of nature. Magic users bring unmatched versatility to any party, healing allies, devastating enemies, and overcoming obstacles with unique abilities. Whether you’re calling upon the gods, unraveling the secrets of the universe, or commanding the elements, a magic class offers limitless possibilities for creative and strategic gameplay.
Cleric

Rogue Classes
Choose a rogue class to master stealth, deception, and precision, allowing you to outmaneuver opponents and strike with deadly effectiveness. Rogues excel at exploiting weaknesses, whether by picking locks, manipulating foes, or executing silent takedowns. Their cunning and versatility make them invaluable for handling delicate situations, gathering information, and turning the tide of any adventure in unexpected ways.
Thief
Choose the Thief class to outsmart your enemies, master obstacles, and claim hidden treasures with your unique and versatile skills.

Assassin
Choose the Assassin class for unmatched stealth, agility, and deadly strikes, perfect for those who thrive on fast-paced, high-risk gameplay.
Draft Classes
Classes that aren’t officially part of the game, but a work in progress. If you have thoughts or ideas on how to change, balance or overall improve the class, please post a comment on the class page.
Knights are charismatic warriors who uphold a sacred Oath of Chivalry, defending the realm with courage and skill.
Paladins are holy warriors, combining the fighting prowess of a fighter with the divine magic of a cleric.
Monks train to become one with the universe, favoring their own inner power to become all powerful.
Multi-Class Characters
Multi-class characters gain the benefits of both classes that the player choose.
- Players must level up each of the classes together, and all experience is split evenly between the classes.
- Characters get Hit Points from the lower of the two classes only.
- Class restrictions from both classes are applied to the character.
Ideas: Warmage (fighter/magic user), Bard (magic user/thief), Bounty Hunter (fighter/thief)

Great sounding system. Looking forward to trying it with my younger kids. I was wondering if you had reference to class abilities that go beyond level 4. I saw that the monk had some. Anything for the other classes? Thanks
I can’t comment on the Druid page. My question is, Why druids don’t have starting items and I couldn’t understand the druid magic. How do they learn spells and what is its limits?
Vatan – excellent question! How do you think it should work? I opened up the Druid page for editing.

Why is it not possible to comment on the ranger? Anywya, I just noticed he could have a “riding dog” at level 4… scary big dog! 🙂
Fixed
Multiclass.
Characters get Hit Points from the lower of the two classes only.
This is not D&D-ish.
It should be the average of the two. Roll both, add together, divide by 2, round up.
That would be up to the DM. The official Cresthaven RPG rule is to take the lower of the two classes.
Can you do a paladin? And would I be allowed to make some homebrew stuff for this??
Yes. Make whatever you’d like. Just post a link back and a comment here to your idea
And I am sorry for asking for a paladin I was confused on the multiplies thing but now I get it
i guess so, it could be like a multi-class thing.i havent been able to construct a clear system for it though
How about a monk class?
I don’t know. Is that something you want?
A question about multi-classes: How do ability focuses work when playing a multiclass? Do you apply both ability focuses, or should the player just choose one when they create their character?
I hadn’t really thought about it. I think giving two focus bonuses would be too much, the current idea is to remove multi-classing instead include multi-class type classes, i.e.: Ranger, Paladin, Warmage, etc.
