Class Selection

While the majority of people and creatures in Estriea revolve around a certain distribution of NPC and PC classes, very few of them manage any real note. Approximately 70% of the Mortal Plane's inhabitants are Commoner or Expert, 20% are Warriors and Adepts. 5% are Aristocrats and other NPC classes, while another 5% actually manage great feats as PC classes of merit.

Available Classes

Most classes are used from the core 3.5e rules, while very few changes have been made. The general synopsis of note is as followed:

• Some classes have variant rules in play, within Breath of Fire. Check the table below to see if your favorite class has had any alterations to fit the atmosphere of the Breath of Fire Campaign.

• Multiple Homebrew Classes and Prestige Classes were created and/or adopted for use in the Breath of Fire Campaign; Available classes and any non-root adjustments are listed in the table below.

• The Samurai and Knight in the table below are the Races of War variations, with some modifications in some areas. Frank and K, the author of Races of War, designed these classes to be a bit more worthwhile in play than the vanilla melee classes. Some nerfs have been applied to meet the campaigns balance level, but they are the versions that have been fitted to this campaign settings.
