Inverted Character Class Triangles

In some video games there is no distinction between "black mages" and "white mages", therefore a slightly different approach is required. Examples: Ultima 4 to 7.

Legend:

  • Top: characters with limited magic powers;
  • Bottom: characters with great magic powers;
  • Left: characters with great strength and no magic powers;
  • Right: characters with great dexterity.
