What weapon can my class equip?
  
Playing a class in a [[Battlegame]] is a chance to combine physical abilities with tactical and strategic acumen to achieve victory. Classes in Amtgard are designed so that each one brings a unique and valuable [[Magic and Abilities|set of skills]] to the field which can be used as part of a team. Often abilities which do not seem useful to you personally may be invaluable when used on teammates. Before picking a class for a game it is important to understand a few simple concepts.
+
Archer: Dagger, Short, Bow
 
+
Assassin: Dagger, Short, Long, Light Throwing, Heavy Throwing, Bow
==Portraying A Class==
+
Barbarian: All Melee, Javelins, Rocks
This section contains a few examples of archetypal medieval and fantasy character types. While the names of the classes reflects a European centric viewpoint, that does not define how you must portray them. You can easily play the [[Barbarian]] or [[Warrior]] classes as a samurai or the [[Healer]] as a necromancer. With a little flair and creativity, the [[Scout]] class makes an excellent pirate. Your character and persona are defined through your actions and behavior, not the name of the class that gives you your abilities. The classes exist in a strict form to maintain game balance on the field; it is up to you to give them life, substance, and personality.
+
Monk: All Melee
 
+
Scout: Dagger, Short, Long, Heavy Thrown
'''Classes are listed in the following manner: '''
+
Warrior: All Melee, Javelins
===Class Format===
+
Bard: Dagger, Short(level 1), Long(level 4)
:'''Name'''
+
Druid: Dagger, Short(level 1), Long(level 4), Great(level 5)
::The name of the class.
+
Healer: Dagger, Short(level 1), Hinged(level 2)
:'''Examples or [[Role-play]] Suggestion'''
+
Wizard: Dagger, Short(level 1), Long (level 5)
::This lists historical or fantasy examples of each class plus a brief overview.
+
Anti-Paladin: All Melee, javelins
:'''[[Garb]]'''
+
Paladin: All Melee, Javelins
::Garb that is required to denote playing the class. You are required to dress in medieval/swords and sorcery looking garb in addition to the class specific garb. Failure to do either will result in playing the [[Peasant]] class.
 
:'''Requirements'''
 
::A few classes list experience requirements. If you do not meet these requirements you may not play nor gain credits in that class.
 
:'''[[Look The Part]]'''
 
::This is an extra [[Ability]] that is available to a player only if they actively role-play or portray their class.
 
:'''[[Armor]]'''
 
::Maximum [[Armor Points|point value]] of armor the class may wear. You can wear armor with a point value higher then you are allowed use of, but in these cases the armor simply gives you the maximum allowed for your class.
 
:::'''Example: '''
 
::::''a [[Scout]] wearing full plate still only gets three points from it.''
 
:'''[[Shields]]'''
 
::Largest size shield available to a class.
 
:'''[[Weapons]]'''
 
::Types of weapons the class can use.
 
:'''Limitations'''
 
::Some classes have restrictions. For example, [[Barbarians]] are restricted from receiving [[Enchantments]] from other classes.
 
:'''Levels and Abilities'''
 
::Most classes receive [[Abilities]] at each level. Some Abilities are presented as a choice. Ability choices may be changed before each new game. Any Ability choice presented as ‘Choose x of y’ allows you to choose up to x of the following y abilities. No duplicates may be chosen unless otherwise noted.
 
 
 
==Monster==
 
No sword and sorcery setting is complete without monsters, those creatures from imagination or legend, both good and evil, that are somehow more (or less) than human. Monsters in Amtgard can represent the smallest, friendliest sprite, the largest most fearsome dragon, or anything else in between.
 
 
 
'''Examples:'''
 
:''Centaurs, Dragons, Dwarves, Werewolves, Vampires, Deadly Slime.''
 
 
 
Monster is a special class, playable only in games where the game designer and local [[monarch]] have given their permission for the class to be used. A player’s [[level]] in the Monster class determines which Monsters they may portray. For more information and rules regarding the Monster class please refer to the [[Dor Un Avathar]].
 
==Peasant==
 
Players without class [[sash]]es or minimum [[garb]] must play Peasant. The only [[equipment]] available for peasants to use is a single [[short]] weapon or a single [[dagger]]. They may not wear [[armor]] or use [[shield]]s and do not have any class [[abilities]].
 
 
 
==Credits and Levels==
 
If you wish to fight or participate in a battlegame, you must conform to one class for each game. A person may advance in level in a class after having the requisite credits and passing a class test administered by your class [[Guildmaster]]. Only one attendance credit may be given on a single day, although [[Kingdoms]] may award bonus credits according to their [[corpora]]. You must play the class you wish to gain credit in. If no class is played but fighting takes place, you may take a [[Warrior]] credit. All classes gain new [[abilities]] and [[level]]s at the following rate:
