Combat Character Classification[]
Characters can be sorted into categories according to how they participate in combat. These categories aren't mentioned in the story but are sufficiently clear it's probably helpful to list them. The first four essentially constitute a D&D-style class system.
- Knights or Swordsmen wear armor, though often leaving their arms bare, and wield swords. Examples: Doraleous, Testaclees, Titanus, Sir Walken, Ampherny, Atari
- Barbarians don't wear much armor and leave their chests bare, they often wield axes. Examples: Drak, Broof, the deadly old man, Varicose?
- Archers wear little armor and wield bows. These characters tend to have wilderness skills. Examples: Neebs, Thesaurus, The Duke of Welfaré
- Wizards wear robes and cast spells. Examples: Mirdon, Old World Wizard, Giligorf. Harry Pooter is a trainee wizard but when attacked didn't cast in his own defense.
- Meela is in a category of his own: he makes puppets to fight for him.
- Grunts carry swords, spears or bows and fight in large numbers in battles.
- Monsters can also fight.
- Commoners, and typically rulers, don't fight and presumably can't.
