Character classes

Swordsman (剣士)

The hero's occupation. Swordsman excel in hand-to-hand combat, but they cannot make use of any magic. If the hero dies, the game is over, regardless if anyone else in your party survives.

Hunter (狩人)

A hunter may only master long-range weapons. Since ranged weapons are two handed, they cannot carry a shield. To compensate, they are capable of casting priest spells.

Priest (僧侶)

A priest is chiefly skilled in recovery and defensive magic. However, they are also quite capable at hand-to-hand combat. They may also carry a shield, and their defensive power is quite high.

Wizard (魔法使い)

A wizard is primarily skilled in offensive magic. They are particularly reliable when fighting against larger groups of enemies. However, their defensive power is considerably limited.
