Nodeka consists of over 120 unique and individualized classes, each with their own set of skills and spells. Below is a description of the 18 base classes of Nodeka and their 100+ minor and major remortal subclasses.

A base class is the class you choose when creating your character. A minor remortal subclass is the class you can become after achieving level 100 on Nodeka. A major remortal subclass is the class you can become after achieving level 100 as a minor remortal. Each of the 18 base classes has one minor remortal subclass and five major remortal subclasses. The five major remortal subclasses offers you the option to "choose" which major remortal subclass best suits your individual taste.

What is a class?

A class can be thought of as a profession - when creating a character on Nodeka, you can choose which class you would like to be. Each class has a distinct set of skills and spells it can use. As a character advances in Nodeka (gains levels), more skills and spells become available to that character. Nodeka has over 300 unique skills and spells which are distributed to the classes, creating an array of complexity and diversity among players.

The defenders of the holy light. The paladin gives his life to the most holy of gods, and spends his life bringing the light to the wicked. The belief system of the paladin is based on one simple, basic premise: cleanse the world of evil by unleashing the true power of the light. These holy warriors believe the only true way to drive the darkness from the land is to blind it with the brilliance of the gods and then extinguish it with the fires that light brings. They spend their existence learning various spells and combat techniques that will bring them more in touch with and in greater control of their god given power, with the constant hope that this new knowledge will be the one thing that will lead them to victory. The paladin will not rest until evil and darkness have been driven from the realm of Nodeka forever. They know so long as there is breath in their lungs and blood in their veins, the hands of the gods will push them ever forward, guiding their blade to the heart of whatever evil they face. While their fanatical devotion to the way of the light can sometimes cause them to seem overconfident, even pompous, do not mistake this for a weakness. The paladin has every reason to be confident in battle, as would any warrior with the given the blessings of the gods of light.

The masters of the mind. There are none more skilled in the mental arts than the wizard. Their lifelong belief that the mind is the most powerful weapon in the realm, has over time forged some deadly, dangerous spellcasters. They believe the body can and will grow weak, and frail. They believe the spirit is fallible, capable of being broken down and shattered. The mind, however, is a different story. They believe there is nothing known in existence that can rob one of their mental power, save perhaps for a stronger mind. It is this that drives the wizard always forward, always seeking that knowledge that will allow them access to every chamber, every level, every corner of the mind. Once this complete control of the psyche is obtained, the wizard will naturally become the most powerful being in all the land. Mind over matter is simply not enough for the wizard. In the end, the only true victory is mind over mind.

Witches are equally balanced in both offensive and defensive magic. Witches have the ability to leave their body and visit other realms with their mind alone. They also have the capacity to transport their entire body to any location they see fit. However, the most important of the witch traits is their ability to summon powers of the elements which empower them to be incredibly useful to anyone. Witches are rumored to be the counterpart of the Bishop in terms of raw power that is beneficial to not only themselves, but to others, as well. Along with being a female-only class, witches would not be complete without having a broom to be summoned at will. Some have told stories of seeing the Witches Broom not only offer flight to its master, but also protect them in battle, inflicting damage relative to their Witches own strength. Witches being partial split in arcane focus and mental focus, they can both cast and invoke spells as they wish. Witches are enforced to maintain evil or good alignment to allow their full arsenal of powers. If they fall outside of the scope of order or chaos, their wicked powers will temporarily depart.

The counterpart of the fallad, the daja is another of the angelic healers of the realm. Like their counterpart, they seek to drive the darkness and evil from the world. However, where the fallad would prefer to use force and power, the daja chooses a more passive, curative path. While the sword can bring balance to chaos, the sword can shatter, and be rendered useless. The daja believes the true way to free the world from the shadows is to keep the sword pure and unyielding, so that it may continue to do battle for the light. They have mastered the art of healing, to various states and degrees, to ensure the warriors they accompany will never fall. Yet, even though these more peaceful healers chooses to avoid combat if possible, doesn't mean they will yield to incoming danger. If the situation arises, a daja can be a formidable foe.

The silent, stoic warrior. The monk believes that there is no greater weapon then its own body. They are taught from an early age that while the sword may be sharp, it is made by man, and can be shattered, dulled. The hand, however, the hand is like iron, forged by the spirit, this can never be broken and will forever remain sharp. The monk believes that the more pure the spirit, be it pure good or pure evil, the stronger the body that spirit is bound to. So long as the spirit stays pure, there is no force in the world that can break the body of the disciplined monk. So take up any weapon you choose, be it the razor-edged sword, the skull-crushing hammer, skin-flaying whip. They are nothing compared to the living weapons residing at the end of the arms of the monk.

Nothing more defines the poliir than the mystical code he or she lives by. Good or evil, the poliir is willed to act by no creature. Poliirs are defined by their sense of inner self, and thus only act to fulfill their own self defined code.

As a class, the poliirs have incredible defensive powers, so strong that they have been rumored to stand alone at the top of defensive prowess amongst classes. But poliirs are not without offensive, in fact their primary defense is what grants them such overwhelming offensive strength.

Odd, it is, that such a powerful defense could be coupled with such an unearthly offense within a single code driven class. Know this, the poliir is a deadly warrior when awoken to their full power. Such that few can stand against them in battle. Woe to those who stand between these devoted fighters and their ultimate goal, whatever that may be.

While most magic users of the realm of Nodeka focus more on the arcane side of magic, the sorcerer believes there is no stronger magic ally then the elements. The scrolls passed down from generation to generation, written by the great sage Lectokke, teach the sorcerer this true power. His teachings show one how to make fire dance at their command, how to make the very ground they walk on come to life, how to bring forth the lightning to lend it's force in combat, and how to bend ice to their will. There is even rumor that some elders can solidify or even dissipate parts of their bodies at will. It is with this complete arcane control over the elements that the sorcerer stands tall as the most powerful of all the spellcaster classes. While the sorcerer may not swing a hammer with the same ferocity as the barbarian, they hardly need to. They find a shard of ice, firmly planted in the skull of some poor soul equally as effective.

When one speaks of the mighty barbarian, there is but one consistency in all words spoken: there is no force more devastating. A different breed of fighter, the barbarian philosophy in battle is fairly simple: if it moves, hit it, and hit it as hard as possible. The barbarian believes in the "right of might" way of combat, and seeks to rid themselves of their enemy as fast as possible by simply beating them into submission. From an early age, the barbarian is taught how to focus his anger into his weapons, to make the weapons a pure extension of his rage, and to use that rage to leave little more than a bloody smear where his opponent once stood. Forgoing skill and subtly in battle, the barbarians are brawlers of the truest sense, which quite possibly is what makes them the most dangerous. There is no way possible to tell what the barbarian is going to do in combat, no way to guess what is coming next, no way to form a defensive battle plan. Once you think you're sure what's coming next, you've already lost, because even the barbarian has no idea what it's going to do. And don't try to reason with a barbarian, not only will they not even hear your words, but before you can finish the thought, you might just end up with a club bashing your teeth in. You see, the other barbarian philosophy is just as simple as the first: kill it first, worry about what it might have wanted later.

Hunters are purebred trackers. While druids have a more intimate relationship to mother nature and her forces, they don't understand her animals like hunters do. From a young age, the hunter studies the beasts of the wild, mastering the strengths of each of the true survivors. They learn the methods the great animals use to become the fiercest competitors in combat. While able to be extremely fluid and agile, they are also able to summon a ferocity that few outside the barbarian can match. It's when all of these abilities are brought together at one time that the true power of the hunter is unleashed.

When the hunter focuses everything it has into combat, they become one of the most powerful, most accurate, most dangerous fighters you can imagine. Oh, and don't believe you can avoid them by simply hiding away in some remote cave. There is no hiding from the hunter. They are able to hunt down their prey with tremendous ease. The eldest hunter is known to cross entire continents without losing the scent of his target, no matter how small the hole it might hide in,
no matter how well hidden it may be. If they truly wish to find you, they will. There are few who have survived the anger of a hunter who has been forced to traverse the world is search of his or her prey.

There are none more in touch with mother nature and her wild than the druid. A bond forged through the ages, the connection between nature and the druid is much like that of a mother with her child: watching, nurturing, and protecting to the bitter end. Beings of a normally smaller stature, many who come in contact with a druid tend to underestimate what power they hold. The common mistake made is the failure to realize that no matter what the surroundings, the druid is never alone. This mistake is very rarely made twice. When one sees a druid call forth powerful creature from the forest, or watches the trees spring to life around them, moving at the whim of their opponent, the lesson learned is not soon forgotten. That lesson is simple: the druid is never alone and never defenseless. Even in a place where no trees or animals can survive, the druid can call forth to mother nature, seeking the aid of certain elements for both a powerful offense and a tremendous defense. Think twice before seeking to challenge the druid. Those backed by the wrath of mother nature are not so easily defeated.

None of the caster classes have a better understanding of pure combat than the warlock. While, like the others, the warlock is heavily reliant on their spell casting abilities, they also have an excellent grasp of physical combat. These fighter-casters are able to stand toe-to-toe with some of the toughest of natural fighters.

The spells of the warlock, along with their natural fighting ability, have been known to be a deadly combination. The warlock is able to enhance its physical being like very few can imagine. It's been rumored that the warlock can not only move with the speed and agility of the ninja, but that they can reach pinnacles of strength that match that of the barbarian.

Some ateoli have even been able to obtain an attack resistance that can outshine the mightiest of poliirs. As if this was not enough to contend with, the warlock has a grasp on the mental discipline that can only be matched by the wizard. While the warlock cannot match the mental fury of the wizard, the wizard can by no means match the pure mental focus of the warlock. Warlocks are truly an amazing class. The perfect balance of melee, magic and mental combat.

The nojohr is concerned with one thing, and one thing only: total battle supremacy. The life of the nojohr is one of total and complete devotion to all methods of offense imaginable. They will use any style, any tactic at their disposal, so long as the final outcome of the battle remains the same, with them standing victorious over their fallen foe. They can adapt to any weapon, from a small dagger to a hefty, deadly halberd, and not lose a step in battle. They can swing the largest war club like it was a feather, and strike like thunder with even the smallest dagger. From pure brute force, to speed and finesse, the nojohr has mastered all forms of combat, and is able to switch from one to the other flawlessly. This turns the nojohr into the finest pure fighter, as they can adjust and adapt their methods, taking away any advantage their opponent may have gained, returning again to the dominant position. A true warlord on the battlefield, none will ever be more imposing than the nojohr.

Two simple words describe this fierce female fighter: grace and beauty.

None in the realms of Nodeka have the fluid motion and pure body control in combat like the females of this profession. Unlike their male-warrior counterparts, the aylakia is a beautiful sight in combat. Observing a aylakia in combat is akin to watching a dancer on stage. Smooth, calculated attacks, each one with incredible accuracy, each one stronger than the last. Blinding, dizzying movement back and forth, avoiding strike after strike from their quickly frustrating opponent. This is what the aylakia strives for. Power over all others through their beauty, not only in their physical appearance, but in their combat. There are some who say this is the downfall of these great fighters, that their egos will one day take over their fighter's edge. Those are usually the same who find themselves on the razor end of the aylakia's blade, hearing their calls for the afterlife to accept yet another unfortunate
soul.

The masters of chaos. Wherever turmoil and confusion reign supreme, you will find a Khehusod in the center of it all, reveling in the glorious madness. The dark warriors of the realm spend their existence learning nefarious arts that turn concentrated, precise combat into mind-twisting, crazed mayhem, thus tipping the scales in their favor. The Khehusod has such control over the chaos they create that they can turn even the most battle savvy nojohr into nothing more than a peasant with a pointed stick, waving frantically away as if it was the first time they had ever held a weapon. Darkness, disarray, and confusion - these are the weapons of the Khehusod, wielded like the sharpest of blades, and used to slice through the very fabric of logic and order, in the hopes of driving the world into pure, undisturbed chaos.

The silent assassins. Since the dawn of war, the joufu have roamed the world in secrecy, keeping their mystic arts and fighting styles hidden away from the prying eyes of the world. In this seclusion they perfected their knowledge in the art of stealth. Through this they understood that the unprepared opponent is indeed the easiest to defeat. They spent countless hours studying the anatomy of every race in existence, so as to use the knowledge of a body's weaknesses to their full advantage. Some joufu have even spent years meditating, seeking contact with the spirits of old, so that they might learn the mystic arts once employed by their ancestors. Those who have made this spiritual connection are said to bring with them the fury of a dragon while in combat. When full mastery of these skills is reached, and a complete understanding of the knowledge of the ancients is obtained, only then is the true joufu is complete. A joufu of this power is not one to be trifled with. Of course, a joufu of this power is more likely to strike before the thought of attack crosses an opponent's mind.

The healers of the realm. Much like the paladin, the fallad seeks to rid the world of all that is evil. However, where the paladin chooses the way of the sword and hammer, the fallad seeks the way of magic and will. They agree that force is the only way to remove the darkness that clouds the land, but they do not believe the sword is enough. They believe the light can only truly be used to return darkness to whence it came. The use of this light must come through the power of the ancient arcane arts. While the sword does indeed destroy the darkness, it does not fully cleanse the evil. The sword will only eliminate the physical presence, leaving behind a spiritual root that will one day return again. The fallad believes that through their magic, that the dark rootings of evil can be severed. Through this severing, all evil can finally be removed from the realm. This is the reasoning that motivates these creatures to learn. And through their learning they gain mastery in both offensive and defensive magics. The fallad is able to protect those who fight along side them, while assisting the offensive side of battle with an array of devastating spells.
