[O.S] Races and Classes

[O.S] Races and Classes

Decide who you are in your world. This mod adds ten races and ten classes. Every race has its own look that all players can see, and every class has its own abilities and a large skill tree. You level up, unlock new abilities, pass your Class Trial and put together a build that fits the way you like to play.

Getting started

1. You get a Hero's Journal the first time you join. Open it or press K.
2. Choose a race. Your character is shown in 3D, so you can see the ears, horns, tail or wings before you confirm.
3. Choose a class. Its first ability is ready right away.
4. Kill monsters, mine ore and collect experience. Each level gives you points for two trees: the race tree and the class tree.
5. Put your abilities on the keys: R for your racial ability, Z / X / C for class abilities, V for the ultimate.

If anything is unclear, the character sheet has a Codex: an in-game guide to every race, class, ability and item.

Races

Each race has innate bonuses, its own ability on R, a 34-node tree and a visible look. Every player on the server sees it, and you can hide it from the character sheet.

Classes

Each class has a starting ability, several more in the tree and two ultimates.

16 race and class pairs have a synergy, a small extra bonus. For example the elf ranger, the orc berserker or the undead necromancer. Synergies are nice to have, but never required: any race works with any class.

Druid forms

The druid can turn into a bear, cat, wolf and raven. In a form you really look like the animal, and Z, X and C cast that form's own skills.

Class Trial

Ultimates unlock at level 30, but first you have to prove yourself. Craft a Trial Sigil and use it: the champion of your class appears in front of you, with a boss bar and a signature move. Beat it within 5 minutes and the ultimates in your class tree open up. The champion also leaves you a Tome of Insight.

Server owners can turn the Trial off in the config.

Skill trees

• The class tree has 64 nodes, the race tree has 34. Each tree has three branches. They split, connect with bridges and end with a big choice.
• Small nodes give stats: damage, armor, mana, bow draw speed and much more.
• Notable nodes give bigger bonuses and new mechanics: surviving a killing blow, stun and bleed on hit, healing and speed on kill, healing shared with allies.
• Keystones give a strong bonus with a real drawback. Glass Cannon, for example, makes your spells much stronger but leaves you with little health.
• Ability upgrades change how abilities work: Fireball splits into three, Charge stuns, the necromancer raises skeleton archers.
• Hover over a far node and the path to it lights up. One click learns the whole path if you have the points.
• At level 60 you have about 37 class points and 16 race points. That is enough for a strong build, but not for the whole tree, so you will have to choose.

Interface

• Ability bar next to the hotbar with icons, cooldowns, mana and experience bars. Each slot shows its mana cost, and the number turns red when you cannot afford it.
• Character sheet with a 3D portrait, every stat (penalties are shown in red) and click-to-assign ability slots.
• Codex: a searchable in-game guide to races, classes, all 85 abilities, items and mechanics.
• Build codes: copy your build and send it to a friend.
• Fully translated into English and Russian.

Items

For servers and modpacks

• Common config: level cap, experience and point rates, strength of innate bonuses, cooldowns, synergies, race auras, boss drops, the Class Trial, and turning off individual races or classes.
• Client config: ability bar position, key hints, race looks on or off.
• Operator commands: /rc level, /rc xp <amount> [players] (handy as a quest reward), /rc race, /rc class, /rc points, /rc respec, /rc cooldowns, /rc reset, /rc trial pass. Anyone can use /rc codex to open the Codex.
• Works on dedicated servers. Install it on both the client and the server.
• Default keys: K character sheet, R racial ability, Z X C class abilities, V ultimate. All keys can be changed. In Creative mode, vanilla Z, X and C also save and load hotbars, so if you build a lot in Creative, rebind them.

Works with other O.S mods

All of these are optional. Races and Classes works fine on its own.

• [O.S] Loot: gear can roll Races and Classes stats: spell power, max mana, mana per second, cooldown reduction, mana on hit, class experience, healing power and pet strength. The character sheet shows how much comes from your gear.
• [O.S] Elites: elite monsters give class experience.
• [O.S] Dungeons: cleared rooms and dungeon bosses give class experience.
