My Character Class Triangles
These are the diagrams I originally made to understand the professions in Ultima 3, and later found that can be applied to any role-playing video game.

Legend:
 * Top: characters with no magic powers;
 * Bottom: characters with great magic powers;
 * Left: characters with healing magic ("white");
 * Right: characters with offensive magic ("black").

Inverted Character Class Triangles
In some video games there is no distinction between "black mages" and "white mages", therefore a slightly different approach can be more useful.

Legend:
 * Top: characters with limited magic powers;
 * Bottom: characters with great magic powers;
 * Left: characters with great strength;
 * Right: characters with great dexterity.
