Chapter 25 Specialized Classes
There are many classes in the world of Dunya. In
Chapter 14 the most well known throughout the
world and common classes were described. The
classes in this chapter comprise optional classes,
some that can only be found in certain areas. Others
are completely optional and all must receive DM
approval before playing.
Other classes listed are meant as NPC classes the PCs
might interact with, such as the Artificer or the
Oracle. The rest are classes for evil NPCs that are
meant to give the bad guy something more interesting
than just the standard classes.
As said about the optional classes, ALL of these
classes require DM approval to play and the evil
classes are recommended to never be allowed for
PCs.
Optional Classes
Metaphysician: A metaphysician is a man of all
supernatural sciences. He studies legends, folklore,
theology and thaumaturgy in hopes of gaining deep
insight into the nature of evil so that he might combat
it and bring that which is dark and sinister to its end.
Metaphysicians are looked down upon as crackpots
and madmen by most, for they study both the divine
and the blasphemous, the necromantic and the arcane
– all with equal fervor. Knowledge is their greatest
weapon. This class is only found in the Kingdom of
Târgovişte.
Riddlemaster: Riddles, rhymes, and puzzles are the
medium of the Riddlemaster. These characters look
upon life as an intricate and challenging puzzle to be
solved. Their seemingly strange ways cause many a
commoner to label them crazy (much like the Jester).
However, Riddlemasters are exceptionally intelligent,
and their minds work on a level above that of the
common man. Riddlemasters devote their entire
intellect to maximizing favorable outcomes for
themselves and their friends. Some believe that
Riddlemasters are just extraordinarily lucky, but this
is not the case. Riddlemasters are always considering
the environment around them, being sure to stand in
the most favorable places, socializing with the most
advantageous people, asking the best questions, and
so on. They seek to develop the supreme mind.
Completely optional class.
Rune Singer: This character class is a magic user
that uses sound and music much in the same way an
Illusionists light, shadow, and the like. The magic
thus performed for each is temporary and of a less
substantial nature than that of the “True Mages”.
Completely optional class.
Selenic Knight: A small but devoted order to
Selene are the militant servants of the moon goddess,
the Selenic Knights. Amongst their ranks are a
handful of devout elvish warrior-maidens and a
handful of other kin who have felt the touching
siren call of the moon goddess. Selenic Knights are
purveyors of justice, defenders of women, healers,
diviners, and a small but noteworthy sect dedicated
to the cause of order
Solarian Knight: The Order of the Solarian Knight
is a powerful fist for both the Church of Naril and
the Emerald Throne of Hyrkania . A Solarian Knight
serves NariI first, as a guardian of purity, goodness,
order, and righteousness. He follows a close second
in his service to the Throne of Hyrkania, the
Empress, and the ideal of law of the land. Completely
optional class.
Thug: Thug (also called executioners) are people
commonly employed by rulers. They are trained in
the business of killing criminals who have received
the death penalty. Most thugs are skilled in the proper
use of bladed weapons, ropes and poisons and are
able to execute criminals quickly and neatly. All
professional thugs belong to their own guild, which is
associated with the Thieves’ Guild. Hugs keep their
true identities secret, wearing hoods or disguises
when engaged in professional work. Many own
ordinary shops and can seem to be perfectly ordinary
townsfolk. Completely optional class, though many
can be found in Shahjapur.
Vampire Hunter: Vampires took something from
you, and now you’re going to take their unholy lives.
The princes of the undead and their minions haunt the
night, and it’s up to you to cleanse their filth from the
Earth with sword, whip, and flame. Your focus,
training, and faith have given you remarkable
resistance to the mind-bending influence of vampires,
succubi, and their ilk. You’ve honed hand, eye, and
reflexes to where the whip acts as an extension of
your own body. Perhaps most importantly you have
studied with hermits and wise women, learning the
simple but potent folk magics that let you protect the
innocent from the evils of the undead. This class is
only found in the Kingdom of Târgovişte.
Warlock: Studying the mystical arts takes a lot of
time and effort. Some find this overly onerous or lack
the means to learn, so take a short cut to gaining
 Chapter 25 Specialized Classes
magical power by making a pact with a powerful
outsider, becoming their pawn in exchange for
powerful abilities. Completely optional class, though
works well as a class for evil NPCs.
NPC Classes
Alchemist: Alchemists are practitioners of the
physical and metaphysical doctrines of the science
known as Alchemy. Though Alchemists are not spell-
casters, they are able to utilize scientific principles
and the metaphysical ability known as Projection of
Will to create substances which have magical
properties.
Artificer: The artificer is a master at creating magic
items, including magic weapons and armor.
Although not a true spellcaster, she can create items
with magical abilities. As a craftsman, the artificer is
given extensive training with the items she creates, to
better understand their use, lending this class a wide
variety of weapon and armor skills other true
spellcasters lack.
Clockwork Mage: The clockwork mage is unique.
His abilities revolve around building and tinkering
rather than crafting powerful spells. Mechanicians (as
the clockwork mages are commonly known) cannot
cast spells. Instead, they create devices with spell-like
abilities.
Forge Master: Forge masters summon extra-planar
entities (elementals and demons) and attempt to
dominate and control them. They can also bind
entities into physical objects (or to physical areas),
essentially turning those objects into reusable
magical items (or hazardous/useful areas).
Librarian: With all the existence of the Great
Library and the Lighthouse, there exists a specialized
magic-user sub-class to oversee them. The Librarian
is related to the Sage, although his emphasis is on the
accumulation and preservation of physical knowledge
– books, scrolls, and other information. As part of his
training and study, the librarian has at his disposal a
limited selection of spells relevant to the
identification and preservation of library materials
and the maintenance of library facilities.
Merchant: A merchant is one whose occupation is
the purchase and sale of goods for profit. Merchants
are found is all sectors of any civilized area, serving
as fences for the thieves’ guild in the lower-class part
of town, as gem dealers who attend the queen and as
wool merchants who supply the tailors in the
business district. Merchants are able to cast limited
arcane spells with some having more skills from
former professions.
Oracle: Ever since homo sapiens learned how to use
his brain, there has as always been a part of man’s
mind that desires to know the events of the future.
Such as a person, such as a priestess, through whom a
deity is held to respond when consulted.
Sage: A Sage is a character who devotes his/her life
to the acquiring of knowledge. This knowledge can
benin any one of seven categories:
1. Artifices of Civilization
2. Geological (of the earth, rock, etc.)
3. Meteorological (of the air, clouds, etc.)
4. Aqualogical (of the sea, rivers, etc.)
5. Floralogical (of the plants)
6. Zoological (of the animals)
7. Esoteric Knowledge (all not covered, anomalies,
etc.)
Scribe: Akin to the sages and magic-users of the
AD&D world are those few artists who combine
extraordinary craftsmanship with a mastery of the
social and magical uses of language and symbols -
the scribes. Most scribes make their livings as
servants to courts or large merchant companies,
although a few do free-lance work in large cities.
Most scribes are keen students and collectors of
maps, codes, fragments of lost languages, armorial
bearings, signs, runes, and glyphs. Scribes may be of
human or demi-human racial stock (including
crossbreeds), and of any alignment. The mercenary
nature of a scribe's profession and the breadth of
views and ideas to which he or she is exposed lead
most scribes to be of neutral-oriented alignments.
Smith: This suggested non-player character type is
designed to represent the powers and limitations of
any metalworker encountered in an AD&DTM
setting, and in particular to quantify the skills of
those rare individuals who can create works of
exquisite beauty and lasting durability, or even work
successfully with magic.
Evil Classes
Cultist: There are some who would sacrifice
anything receive eldritch power – even their own
sanity or soul. By engaging in dark rituals or bloody
sacrifices, they earn the vile blessings of
demons, dark spirits or gods beyond the
understanding of mortal men. By giving up the very
things that make them human, they become men and
woman of unimaginable power
 Chapter 25 Specialized Classes
Dark Druids: The dark druids are a particularly evil
and organized branch of druids bent on the
destruction of civilized mankind, as it sees them as an
unnatural chaotic elemental force that will eventually
destroy all of life. With this philosophy comes an
inherent opposition to all peoples whom ascribe to an
"advancement philosophy" - those that use and abuse
the wealth of the earth, plundering its resources and
laying waste to its natural elements and life with no
regard to outcomes.
Huntsman: Huntsman are dark nobilis of an anti-
ranger class. Huntsman are usually clad in brown or
black leather armor. They frequently wear hoods
made of the heads of predatory animals, wolves and
wildcats being favorites. No limits exist on the
number of huntsmen who may gather in any one spot,
though their rarity ensures that such gatherings are
few. Huntsman oppose all that Rangers stand for:
they hunt for sport, destroy things of nature, lay
waste to good communities, and support evil
opponents. They especially hate rangers, druids,
elves, and Eladrin-like beings, and will track and
attack them in preference over all other opponents.
This class is only available to Dark Nobilis humans.
fighting style. This class is only available to
Pohjolans.
Pohjolan Ruinguard: Each ruinguard is a master of
their own fate; an individual conduit to the
knowledge of chaos and the chthonic powers spread
across the void. Whether they carry such power
within them and focus it upon the weapon they wield,
or whether the weapon itself holds the chthonic
power and they merely call it forth to do battle, even
the ruinguard does not truly know. Ruinguards
typically adventure to accumulate power, skill, and
allies in order to dominate more and more around
them – some even harbor dreams of rebuilding an
empire. Others resist succumbing completely to the
chaos that constantly seeks to consume them. This
rarer breed of ruinguard seeks adventure to quell the
wanderlust within themselves and find camaraderie
and kinship amongst those adventurers who also
choose to wander dark roads and distant lands."
This class is only available to Pohjolans.

Slaver: Slavers are a combination of Outlaw, Thief,

and Warrior, and, as such, they have many of the
advantages and disadvantages inherent in those
classes. They never wear plate or highly encumbering
armor, favoring studded leather and light chain, with
nearly never the use of a shield. They love whips,
nets (weighted), and scimitars or falchions. They
almost never use their weapons, though, preferring to
whip or net their victims into submission. Strangely
enough, Hobbitts are occasionally slavers, and when
they are, they are some of the cruelest!

Pohjolan Darklord: From time-to-time Pohjolan

arises whose cruelty, ruthlessness and lost for power
are remarkable even for one of their dark race. Such a
being called a darklord and he brings doom and woe
to all that cross him. This class is only available to
Pohjolans.

Pohjolan Sorcerer: He Pohjolan sorcerer is a scion

of black magcuans andnecrimancers of an earier age,
Considering physical combat beneath them and the
province of henchmen and vassals, Zaharan arcanists
do not train for physical combat. They do not wear
armor nor use shields. They have basic proficiency
with a few simple weapons, however: the dagger,
dart, staff, and sling. They can fight wielding a staff
with two hands, but aren't trained in any other
