I've watched this forum for a while. Gotta say, you've got some excellent ideas there.

Anyway, here's something. Sorry it's so long.

CONTRACTOR

Prerequisites: Lv. 8 Oracle, Lv. 8 Chemist

“The contractor is a dangerous job class. The user becomes a living disease-carrier in order to protect allies. A contractor also specializes in inflicting diseases upon the enemy and in contaminating items”

Primary Skill—Plague (Contractor command. Spreads the suffering of allies to the enemy.)

(The success rate for all skills (except Contract and Quarantine) is 100 %, unless the enemy is immune to that status ailment or the enemy is not carrying any items. The success rate for Contract is on average 75 %. The success rate for Quarantine is on average 65%.)

Contract-- Takes the status effects of allies or self and delivers them to enemies.
(400 JP)
(Range: 2) (Speed: 50)

In order for Contracting an ally’s disease to work, both the ally and the enemy must be within range. This shifts the ally’s status effect to the enemy.

Infection-- Inflicts Poison status on self and on enemies nearby.
(100 JP)
(Range: 1) (Speed: Now)

Narcolepsy-- Inflicts Sleep status on self and on enemies nearby.
(150 JP)
(Range: 1) (Speed: Now)

Pinkeye-- Inflicts Darkness status on self and on enemies nearby.
(200 JP)
(Range: 1) (Speed: Now)

Delirium-- Inflicts Confuse status on self and on enemies nearby.
(250 JP)
(Range: 1) (Speed: Now)

Palsy-- Inflicts Petrify status on self and on enemies nearby.
(300 JP)
(Range: 1) (Speed: Now)

Black Plague-- Inflicts Death Sentence status on self and on enemies nearby.
(400 JP)
(Range: 1) (Speed: 50)

Secondary Skill—Contaminate (Contractor command. Transfers diseases to enemy items and renders them unusable.)

(For almost all Contaminate skills, the range is 2 and the speed Now.)

Potion-- Contaminates enemy Potion. If an enemy is known to use this item, then the next time the enemy uses this item, it damages the user rather than healing the target. Includes Auto-Potion abilities. Effect lasts 3 turns.
(200 JP)

Antidote-- Contaminates enemy Antidote. If an enemy uses this item, then the Antidote will not cure the target of Poison, but will instead inflict the enemy who uses it with Poison. (In short: If enemy attempts to use Antidote, enemy is Poisoned.) Effect lasts 3 turns.
(150 JP)

Eye Drops-- Contaminates enemy Eye Drops. If enemy attempts to use Eye Drops, enemy is inflicted with Darkness. Effect lasts 3 turns.
(250 JP)

Soft-- Contaminates enemy Soft. If enemy attempts to use Soft, enemy is Petrified. Effect lasts 3 turns.
(300 JP)

Phoenix Down-- Contaminates enemy Phoenix Down. If enemy attempts to use Phoenix Down, enemy is immediately KO’d. Effect lasts 3 turns.
(400 JP)

Quarantine-- Enemy is rendered unable to use items.
(550 JP)
(Range: 3)

Abilities

(Support) Epidemic--When the character uses Contract, all units that are affected by it randomly Contract their status effects to anyone in the immediate area (within a range of 1) each turn.
(200 JP)

(Support) Infirmed Skill--Can use Plague even if not a Contractor.
(350 JP)

(Support) Ailing Touch--Can use Contaminate even if not a Contractor.
(350 JP)

(Support) Pain Attack-- Gains the ability to attack with a 50% chance of inflicting either Poison, Sleep, or Darkness on the target attacked.
(300 JP)

(Reaction) Antibody-- Within 3 turns, cures status effects that are inflicted on the character. After being "cured", this ability cannot be activated for the rest of the battle.
(250 JP)

(Reaction) Contagious-- If the character has a status effect(s), the effects are transferred to anyone who successfully attacks the character.
(350 JP)

(Reaction) Degeneration-- If the enemy successfully attacks the character, there is a 50% chance that the enemy’s PA will be lowered by ¼ for the remainder of battle.
(600 JP)

(Reaction) Auto-Quarantine-- Character still receives full damage, but counters enemy attack with Quarantine. Also has a 50% chance of Quarantining enemies using Auto-Potion. (i.e. if enemy reacts with Auto-Potion, that enemy may be Quarantined.)
(600 JP)

(Movement) Path of Illness--Wherever the character walks, the panels turn into Poison Swamp areas. (Must be a Contractor to utilize)
(250 JP)

Equipment

Head-Hats, Caps
Body-Clothes, Robes
Shields-None
Accessories-All
Weapons-Knife

Inherent: Move -1, Jump -1. Moderate HP, MP, MA, and Speed. Decent PA.

Appearance
The Contractor is wrapped in bandages, with arms and legs hanging out. Quite the grotesque figure.

(And no, he does not sell houses. "Contract" can also mean "to carry a disease", so that's what it means in this case.)

Req: Mime lv 1

Equip: None

Action Skills: Madness

He can simply cast every kinda spell/skill he has learned at 0 MP cost on a random char.
He can't be controlled (like he's on Confusion status).

Reaction:

Support:

Look there!: low chance of turning the enemy when hits



Can't be set on 2nd class.

Menion
No signature right now

Class: Hunter --["Drifter of the wild whose technical prowess amazes outsiders."]
Prerequisites:

• 40 Monsters Killed (non-chocobo)
• Master Geomancer
• Equip Gun learned
• Equip Bow learned
  Male-only class

[b]Weapons: Guns, Swords, Knives, Longbows, Bowguns
Helmets: Caps, Mage Hats
Shields: Yes
Armor: Light Armor, Clothes, Robes
Accessories: All except perfumes, ribbons
Inherents: Equip Gun, Equip Longbows, Equip Sword, Any Ground

Skillsets:

• Primary: Stalk
• Secondary: Fell

--------------------------------
PRIMARY: Stalk --["Hunter follows prey with immatchable stealth."]

Skill: Limb Aim
JP: 750
MP: N/A
Speed: Now
Range: 8
Other: Must have gun equipped

Using long-range capabilities, the target in sight won't have a chance to escape from the hunter's temporary lock-on. Inflicts Don't Move and Don't Act statuses (33%), Don't Move only (16%), Don't Act only (16%), or the gun backfires the rest of the time (~33%) doing damage equal to half of the hunter's current HP

Skill: Treefriend
JP: 750
MP: 35
Speed: Now
Range: Global
Other: N/A

Being so attuned to the forest setting, the hunter can use nearby trees to entangle those who get too close. Once used, for the rest of the battle, any unit that stands next to a tree (at any height) becomes "stuck" (uncurable Don't Move) until they spend a turn removing it and moving away from the tree. The process can be repeated over and over, and its effect only runs out once the battle has ended

Skill: Searing Flay
JP: 1000
MP: N/A
Speed: Now
Range: 1
Other: Must have sword equipped

No prey can escape a hunter for long. To show off his finesse with a blade, the hunter has a chance of doing away with the prey as soon as he gets close. Does damage equal to (Level*2) and can instantly poach the target (10%) so long as it's an animal. Has a chance of inflicting Blind or Berserk (10%) in the devestation of the attack.

Skill: Spirited Volleys
JP: 1000
MP: N/A
Speed: Now
Range: Bow
Other: Must have bow equipped

Mystic shafts of arrow track the target and stick it over and over, whilst remaining unseen to everyone but the hunter. Once used on the target, for the next three turns, the target loses one-eighth of its maximum HP and cannot cure itself out of fear. If Regen is in place, the effect changes to attacking the MP in the same manner. Once used on a target, it cannot be used on the same target unless brought back from KO. Has 100% chance of success with longbows; has 45% chance of success with bowguns.

Skill: Murk
JP: 1200
MP: N/A
Speed: 50
Range: Chosen target
Other: Must be unarmed

If the hunter goes into battle without any weapon whatsoever, he can have the environment do the capturing, expediting the cat-and-mouse chase. After the skill's charged, the executor can change six panels on the field into "Murk," which, when stepped in, reduce movement to 1 adjacent panel. Teleport can get around this effect, but the penalty for moving changes from 10% to 15%. If the target cannot get out of the Murk panels within three turns, the target sinks into the murk and can be recovered in the post-battle for the hide (if an animal); human treasures do not float back up.

SECONDARY: Fell

Hunter command. When used, all animals on the field are inflicted with a random status effect out of the following: Darkness, Berserk, Silence, Sleep, Brave -30, or Confusion. 25% chance per animal that it's not affected by anything, with natural immunities taken into account as well. Can only be used once per four CT turns.

Reaction Abilities

Springtheme --[800 JP]

When attacked by a monster, there is a 50% chance that the hunter can choose any other target adjacent to the monster and have it attack in his place. This ability cannot be triggered if there is no adjacent target nearby.

Scented Wind --[1000 JP]

Any monster that intends to draw into the hunter's range (1 panel) has a chance of stopping sometime before reaching that adjacent panel due to criss-crossing scents from elsewhere. Triggers at 45% probability, but if the animal is crippled (Current HP = 1/4th or less), the probability doubles.

Support Abilities

Thrill of the Chase --[800 JP]

For each monster poached in battle, through Poach or Searing Sword, the hunter's movement range increases by +1; or, the chances of animals escaping from the hunter's skills (with natural immunities taken into account) are reduced by 5%. The hunter cannot choose which effects are activated.

Ricochet --[900 JP]

When a gun places a successful shot, the bullet breaks into four pieces and hits all targets diagonal of the first target in up to two panels, provided there are no obstructions. Each target hit with Ricochet loses -3 Brave.

Taut Bowstring --[1000 JP]

For each successful hit from a longbow, increase the bow's WP by 1 for the remainder of the battle. This skill can be triggered a maximum of three times per battle. Does not apply to bowguns.

Gunman's Scope --[1200 JP]

The backfire penalty to the user of Limb Aim cannot be triggered as long as this is equipped.

Movement Abilities

Nest --[300 JP]

The hunter can spend an action turn climbing up a tree instead of attacking, to which he can then attack from the H the treetop is at. The hunter can only do this by moving next to a tree and choosing to climb it, before he takes action.

Range Life --[500 JP]

Increase the hunter's MOV stat by one for every two monsters that outnumber his party, provided he has one. If there is a party but he is the only hunter, all allies gain half of his temporary MOV additions, rounding down.

~Pacifist Badge, 1978

Actually someone made another reply on another post that made me think of the same class, because the word "pimp" was mentioned, but i was thinking more like, they would have great skills, but the enemy could always pay to avoid taking damage / status effects ect.

That and if there was a pimp class, it would be like Monster skill, and give extra abilites to any female close to him ect, vice versa even.

but on a more mature and less lewd subject.

I think that having a barbarian Class in the game would have been cool.

Always: Haste. Protect, Shell, Regen, Berserk

Can only equip axes and accessories, with somewhat high natural evade, defense, and hp.

It would be something like putting your chars on auto, but they dont do anything but attack, it could work but also be bad if they get status effects, a true lazy man's class.

(i considered being able to equip ribbons on females, but thought that, that would make them too powerful, maybe make another armor class or something they could wear, "skins" or something)





Edit: Update! I read through the replys and Zodaic did say something about a Berzerker class but it was a bit differant then my idea.

On another note Ckaos made a post on an Elemental archer, but i found that some of the job point costs for the skills were rather high, not to mention some of them werent practical (Practice 1800jp increase bow range by 2?!?! I WISH!)

anyway, i had sorta the same idea, and didnt want to do a double post, so i made this edit...my Class however was called Arcane archer, and instead of being so Elemental based, i added in some status effects...

Class ~ Arcane Archer

Job Command ~ Enchanted Shot

Requirments:
Level 4 Archer
Level 3 Wizard
Level 2 Oracle

Can Equip:
Bows/Crossbows
Sheilds
Hats
Clothes/Robes

Enchanted Shot Skills
-------------------------------
Frozen arrow ~ 100jp ~ 5mp ~ Now
(An ice elemental enchanted arrow)

Blazing arrow ~ 100jp ~ 5mp ~ Now
(A fire elemental enchanted arrow)

Lightning arrow ~ 100jp ~ 5mp ~ Now
(A bolt elemental enchanted arrow)

Blinding arrow ~ 150jp ~ 5mp ~ Now
(An enchanted arrow that adds Darkness)

Silent arrow ~ 150jp ~ 10mp ~ Now
(An enchanted arrow that adds Silence)

Poisonous arrow ~ 200jp ~ 5mp ~ Now
(An enchanted arrow that adds Poison)

Paralyzing arrow ~ 250jp ~ 15mp ~ Now
(An enchanted arrow that adds Don't Act)

Crippling arrow ~ 250jp ~ 15mp ~ Now
(An enchanted arrow that adds Don't Move)

Sandman's arrow ~ 300jp ~ 25mp ~ Now
(An enchanted arrow that adds Sleep)

Medusa's arrow ~ 450jp ~ 20mp ~ Now
(An enchanted arrow that adds Petrify)

Arrow of Death~ 500jp ~ 25mp ~ Now
(An enchanted arrow that adds Death)

Hail of arrows ~ 700jp ~ 30mp ~ Now
(Fire at (up to) 3 differant targets in range at the same time.)

Support Skills:
Lifetap ~ 1000jp
(Use your Hp to cast spells instead of Mp)

(*note: this isnt like HP <--> MP in FFVII, your hp and mp dont get switched, you just use hp to cast spells)

I havent thought of a counter or movement ability for this Class yet, and when i think about it, using ablities from other jobs like Concentrate ect would most likely be more benefical to a class like this.

These numbers are just hypothetical, i felt like throwing them in here to give myself and others some idea of what it would be like.

(as for questions about Hail of arrows, Range would be Random/Auto and based on the weapons type, other then that, if there was only one target in range, it would only hit them once, not 3 times, if there were only 2 in range it would hit them both once ect. but if there were 4 in range, which 3 of the 4 whp got hit would be totally random, if a target is blocked, by an ally or a wall for example, the shot would not be fired at all, but if the target was blocked by an enemy, it would be, therefor giving you a chance to hit the same target more then once in one round.)

Since the class would have Generally low MP (im basing all the classes stats off the archer class, most likely with slightly higher MA and slightly lower PA) The Lifetap skill would be useful, especially if you want to cast Hail of Arrows every turn ect, but dont have the mp.

(not to mention it would be useful with other classes too)

Action Abilities- Rage

Rage (500 JP) - Once selected, the character simply takes on the "Raging" status. His HP increase by 150%, PA by 150%, Move by +1, Jump by +1, and the only action the character may take is to ATTACK.

Reaction Abilities

Dancing Mad (500 JP) - Attacker goes berserk

Movement Abilities

Tough Feet (500 JP) - Ignore Traps


Total JP -- 2720

Keep in mind, I haven't played the game in years, and when I did, I only actually played about 5 hours with it, but this sounded like too much fun to pass up...

Job Title - Chocobo Knight

Prerequisites - Lv. 8 Knight, Lv. 4 Wizard, Lv. 8 Mediator

Can Equip - Spears and everything Knights can equip.

Description - The Chocobo Knight enters battle astride a special White Chocobo. This is automatic, the player need not breed or own the chocobo, and the chocobo does not count against the player's character total (in and out of battle). The Chocobo Knight's abilities depend on riding the chocobo, so its not a great class to learn and switch to something else...


Action Abilities
All Chocobo Knight action abilities are usable *only* while riding a chocobo.

Choco Charge - 500 JP - Range: 8 - Charge in straight line towards opponent(s) doing heavy (Rider PA + Chocobo PA) damage to each one in the line. If square on opposite side of the last opponent is vacant, the Chocobo Knight will end the attack on that square.

Choco Blast - 700 JP - Range: All - A strong magical attack in all four directions.

Choco Annihilation - 800 JP - Range: All - A meteor (spell, not the chocobo skill) attack against *all* opposition units.

Fat Chocobo - 900 JP - Range: All - Chocobo Knight summons the Fat Chocobo to do heavy damage to all opponents. Additionally adds the status effects Don't Move and Confuse to targets which are succeptible.

Auto-Choco-Cure - 250 JP - Any time the character is struck by an attack, they cast Choco Cure on themselves.

Invited Counter - 500 JP - When the character is attacked, they counter attack followed by attempting to invite the attacker.

Choco Flee - 750 JP - Following a successful attack, the character may choose to flee up to 1/2 move at no additional CT cost.

Support Abilities

White Chocobo - 500 JP - The Chocobo that the Chocobo Knight rides into battle is a White Chocobo. These chocobos have all the inherent skills of all chocobo species, in addition to being able to fly. Since the White Chocobo has been specially bred for riding, it does not lose the use of its abilities while being ridden, although it does lose the use of its movement phase.

Movement Abilities

Chocobo Rider - 300 JP - Character begins battle riding a chocobo regardless of whether or not the player *has* any chocobos or *brings* any chocobos into the battle. Chocobo is same level as rider. Rider may also dismount.

Oh sure, I don't have to get kicked in the junk to activate it, but I like it anyway. -- Thief commenting on the difference between Throw and Blue Magic.

I'll give it a shot, I suppose.

Shield:None

Deceptive Force~ Uses a bare handed strike that causes damage equal to the users speed plus the enemies current MP

Wall Change~ Causes the enemy to be weak against a random element for 5 turns

Status Quo~ Lowers the enemies stats by 3 levels

Reaction:
Illogical Strike~ Strikes the enemy with an open hand causing confusion and reducing MP by 1/4

Knowledge~ Uses Battle Plan even if not a Strategist( I.E. You would have 3 available action sets instead of two)

Movement:

I know it's not exactly superb, but it's my first shot at this. It's mostly a magic based class, though it has some advantages in the physical areas.

This is a webcomic and gaming blog where I rant about nonsense. Enjoy.

I was a soldier, now I just play one in video games.

A Premptive Apology Here....


This is such a long thread, I'm not sure if the same, or similar Idea's have already been shown, but im gonna throw this out there anyway, just for kicks, if someone posted a similar reply already, my apologies.

I think it was FFV, That had a Class named "Bare". You couldnt really do anything special with this class, but it allowed you to equip any item you wanted to. Thats why I liked it

Asfar as tactics goes, Ive sometimes found it frustrating, upsetting, or just downright absurd, that certain jobs cant equip certain Items.

Im not sure what was going through my head when this Popped into my mind, but It doesnt really matter does it?

I want to be able to equip theif hats as a Knight, or Knightswords as a Geomancer, so here goes.


Job - Model
Job Command - Glamour

Innate - Equip Change

Requirements:

Female only
Level 8 Dancer
Level 8 Mime

Model - The quint-essensial fashion expert, master of all things material.

Note: The Model Can't Equip any Item's until she learns the corresponding Equip Ability for the item.

Special: With Glamour as a Secondary Ability, The Unit can Equip any item that corresponds to the Equip Abilities she has learned as a Model.


Equip Abilites / JPs:

Helm - 100jp
Hat - 200jp
Ribbon - 300jp
Clothes - 100jp
Armor - 200jp
Robe - 300jp
Shield - 500jp
Mantle - 100jp
Ring - 100jp
Armlet - 100jp
Shoes - 100jp
Guantlet - 100jp
Perfume - 200jp
Knife - 100jp
Sword - 100jp
Hammer - 100jp
Dictinary - 100jp
Stick - 100jp
Bag - 100jp
Cloth - 200jp
Ninja Sword - 200jp
Spear - 200jp
Katana - 200jp
Gun - 300jp
Crossbow - 300jp
Bow - 300jp
Rod - 400jp
Staff - 400jp
Knight Sword - 600jp


Reaction Abilities:

Urgency - 700jp
(Trigger - HP damage ~ Increases the urgency of your next action, increasing your CT. [increase is equal to unit's speed score] )


Support Abilities:

Anti-Theft - 300jp
(Immune to Steal Techniques)


Movement Abilities:

Move E-Change - 500jp
(Allows you to change/remove One equipped item after confirmed movement, as a free action.)

The Idea behind this job is allowing (at least your female characters) to equip any item in the game. The jp costs are just speculation at this point, accessories costing less because you can normally equip them as any job, but Ribbons and Perfume costing slightly more due to their unquie qualities.

I dont feel that This would be too over powering, Even if you had a Ninja equipping 2 knight swords at once, because in gaining the ability to do so, you lose your secondary ability.

--------------------

Quote

<FrPhoenix[Around]> "Burgleburgleburgle"

^^ I actually think that skillset is a really cool idea. It's unique, useful in the right situations, kind of niche, but not particularly overpowering, Imagine giving Dragoner Reis a full complement of Glamour, eh? I also like the Urgency reaction you made up.

But two things... Anti-Theft is sort of redundant. The Chemist's Maintenance support does the exact same thing, but also makes equipped items unbreakable, and costs 50 less JP. And also, the Bag, Ribbon, and Perfume abilities can be equipped by any female character. I know that the Model herself won't be able to equip those unless she learns the corresponding abilities, but because only females can use Glamour as a secondary it's mostly pointless to have those three abilities on as skillsets, unless you never take them out of the Model class.

--------------------

this is a blog mostly about comics and videogames
END SPOILER

The Point of Having Ribbon/Perfume And Bag in the skillset is a Limitation to the job.

The reason they are there to begin with is to Make you suffer and have to spend job points to equip even the most basic items that any other class could equip lol

I made Bag's 100jp, because theyre basic, and usually anyone can equip them.

The reason Ribbon and Perfume are higher JP costs is because i felt, usually you could equip these as any job anyway, but if you wanted to equip them as a Model, to make leveling up, and or getting JP easier, then It would cost you more JP then some of the other skills.

But I do see where your coming from.

As for Maintenance preventing the Use of Steal Abilities, I hardly ever use it, So i Didnt know it worked against steal techniques.

A question concerning that. (Will it prevent Charm from steal heart? lol)

If Maintenance prevents Steal Techniques, then I stand corrected, and thank you for the info.

Like I said, I hardly ever used it, so I wasnt aware it prevented Steal Techniques, afterall, it doesnt say so in the skill description

Well, I don't think Maintenance prevents Gil Taking, Steal Exp, or Steal Heart. It just protects your equipment from theft, which I guess isn't the same as yours, but the fact that it also prevents weapon breakage and costs 50 JP less makes your Anti-Theft way redundant.

Gotta go with my favorite character ever

DEATH KNIGHT

Job: Death Knight
Job Command: Death Sword

Innate: Hell Outcast (immune against Zombie, Blood Suck, Death Sentence, Unholy Elemental. Has no Death Countdown, can never crystalize)

ACTION ABILITIES:

Death Coil (450 JP): Ranged attack. Deals 50% of target's HP damage and heals the Death Knight. Unable to target Undead enemies.

[All in all, a Job Class with amazing skills and commands, but with severe disadvantages as well. Balanced (I think) ]


--------------------

"But he's the sort of man who can't know anyone intimately, least of all a woman. He doesn't know what a woman is. He wants you for a possesion, something to look at, like a painting or an ivory box. He doesn't want you to be real, or to think or to live. He doesn't love you..."

Alejandro Artiles
AKA The Death Knight

Played a little D&D over the weekend, so here's my version of


Ranger

Nature's warrior, familiar and at home within her realms

Inherent: Any Ground

Available Equipment -- Swords, Daggers, Bows, Hats, Clothes, Robes, and Gender appropriate Accessories

Skillset:
Favored Enemy (Performed through ATTACK command)

Favored Enemy Goblin (150 JP) - Ranger knows how to deal with members of the Goblin family. 125% Damage

Ancient Enemy Goblin (300 JP) - Ranger knows how to deal with members of the Goblin family. 150% Damage

.
.
.
.
.

and so on through all the monster families (including Demons like Apandas...not Zodiac Beasts though)

[Maybe these bonuses should apply elsewhere, maybe a higher % to inflict statuses on the enemy, higher evade when facing those of a monster family whose Favored/Ancient Enemy you have learned..........ideas]


Reaction

Evade Up
JP: 500
Anytime the Ranger is successfully struck, his CE% (for the battle obviously) increases by 3%


Support

Camoflauge
JP: 900
Begin battle with Transparent status

Equip Bow
JP: 400
Equip Bow regardless of job (Hey Archer.....way to drop the ball)

Set Trap (Stolen idea from SGN, but I like it, so here it is)
JP: 800
Snare: Adds Don't Move
Steel Needle: HP Damage
.....you get the idea....

Movement

Fleet Foot
JP: 400
Move and Jump +1

That's great Kane, i always did like Ranger's in D&D.

But cant rangers equip two swords? (aslong as their offhand weapon is light and they're wearing light armor anyway!)

On another note, I Like the Evade up idea, aswell as Camoflauge.

Although it seems impossible to simulate a true D&D ranger in Tactics, Im very fond of the idea.

Maybe ill draw up a Druid Class too huh?

Speaking of Rangers, here's a couple more of our classes from over at HoI. I don't think It's been posted yet, so... Also, remember that our format at HoI is a bit different from the standard FFT format, so ignore the prerequisites, and remember that our balancing is a bit different.

Edit: Also, if there's a demand for it, I can post a couple of our Awarded/Master classes here, as well. We re-did Astrologer, and added things like Dragoon.

Quote

Ranger

The Ranger, much like the Geomancer, is one with nature. However, unlike the Geomancer who calls upon the forces of the elements to attack his foes, the Ranger uses the skills that he has gained while living in the wild to impede foes, fight, and otherwise survive. Capable of using both bow and sword, the Ranger is flexible in his combat role and a valuable addition to any team.

-----
Hunter Skill
-----

Forage
The Ranger scavenges the area around him for useful herbs and other natural items, using them to gain beneficial effects on themselves and their allies, if any are nearby. Can heal a small amount of HP and restore some statuses.
JP: 150
Range: 2
Effect: 1
Speed: Now

Set Trap
The Ranger can set traps during a skirmish. If the Ranger is in a defending skirmish, the Ranger may place up to four traps prior to the battle. Trap types and trap damage are variable. The Basic Trap Types are as follows: Pit Trap, Fire Trap, Snare Trap, Rockslide Trap, Spear Trap. In addition, custom traps can be submitted to staff along with tactics, or independently of skirmishes. The Ranger may create 1 trap every 5 levels, starting at 5th level, then 10th, 15th, and so on. When an enemy encounters a trap on the battlefield, they suffer the effects and their turn ends immediately.
JP: 600
Range: 1
Effect: 1
Speed: Now

Quote

-Pit Trap: Does damage, has a chance of Don't Move and being unable to attack anyone not standing on an edge of the pit.
-Fire Trap: Does normal damage, but has a chance of setting the enemy on fire.
-Snare Trap: Does damage, has a chance of inflicting Don't Move and Don't Act.
-Rockslide Trap: Does damage and has a chance of confusion.

Rune Knight

The best way to describe the Rune Knight is an odd mixture between a Black Mage and a Knight. By channeling the power of ancient--some would say, pagan--runes, Rune Knights are able to manipulate the elemental properties of both their equipment, as well as that of their enemies. Being that they are so versatile, the Rune Knight is great as a support fighter, and in the right situations with proper tactics, he can be one of the deadliest classes availble.

Berserker

The Berserker is one of the most feared combatants for a very good reason. With their animalistic fury, they have been known to cleave through swaths of men and beasts alike, even when taking several serious injuries. Harnessing the very primal fury within every human being, the Berserker can throw himself into a blinding (yet oddly concentrated) rage to obliterate his foes. However, since the act of Berserking takes so much out of the body, it is important to note that after the Berserker's mind clears, his body will be quite weakened.

Class Notes: Bloodlust and Break Obstacle may only be used while under the Berserk status. This Berserk status can come from a skill such as Oracle's Blind Rage, or from the Berserk skill.

--------
Frenzy
--------

Berserk
JP: 250/500
If a character is a Berserker Primary Class, this costs half price, at 250 JP.
The Berserker makes themselves, well, berserk. However, they may use Frenzy abilities while berserked, and can use some degree of tactics (Can specify priority targets, as in "Kill the White Mage, then the Chemist, then the Lancer, so on and so on. Or kill whoever is closest, which the Berserker likes the best). Unlike normal Berserking, this state lasts for Brave/7 rounds, and can only be activated once per skirmish. At the end of the Brave/7 rounds, all damage done is at 70% until end of skirmish.
Range: Auto
Effect: Self
Add: Berserk

Bloodlust
JP: 350

Upon dealing damage, seeing blood fuels the Berserker's rage. +1 PA for each attack he/she successfully makes while under this status. Caps at +3 PA.
Range: Auto
Effect: Self
Add: Bloodlust
Requires Berserk

Takedown
JP: 450
The Berserker readies themselves to respond to their foes, welcoming their attacker without regard to personal injury. The Berserker will take 120% damage from his/her enemies' attacks for this turn, but once hit, will have a greatly improved critical chance.
Range: Auto
Effect: Self
Requires Berserk

Rush
JP: 500
The Berserker rushes forward madly, charging their enemy with frightening speed. Running on adrenaline, they become much faster than normal, gaining the bonuses of Move +1 and Speed +1. Only works once per skirmish, lasts for 3 rounds.
Range: Auto
Effect: Self
Requires Berserk

Hardiness
JP: 600
The Berserker focuses on their health, trying to keep their body and mind as clear as possible through sheer force of will. This focus grants Berserkers an innate resistance to harmful statuses, lowering the chance to succeed in applying a negative status to the Berserker.
Range: Auto
Effect: Self
Add: Hardiness
Requires Thick Skin and Takedown

Break Obstacle
JP: 800
The Berserker can, by sheer strength alone, try to batter down anything that stands in his/her way. The obstacle will be destroyed and become normal, passable terrain once broken. Gates and other small obstacles take one turn to clear, but walls and larger obstacles take two turns to destroy. The weapon will not break.
Requires Bloodlust and Irresistible Force

--------------------
Reaction Abilities
--------------------

Equilibrium
The Berserker has a chance of turning to face a flank or side attack.
JP: 250

Meatbone Slash
The Berserker counters with a brutal cut.
JP : 500
Trigger: Critical (20% or less HP)
Add: Critical Hit
Requires Last Stand

Momentum
JP: 900
Upon falling to 0 hp, if a successful roll is made (Brave%), a Berserker will continue to act, oblivious to damage, for one more turn. After this turn is over, he gets felled as per usual for 0 hp status. He cannot be healed by standard methods while in Momentum, BUT he can be revived with Phoenix Down or life spells as per usual. However, there is a chance that the Berserker can permanently lose some Max HP.
Requires Meatbone Slash, Irresistible Force, and Hardiness

-------------------
Support Abilities
-------------------

Equip Axe
JP: 500
Can equip axes.


Thick Skin
JP: 550
The Berserker gains an additional +10% HP bonus from any equipment worn.
Requires Berserk

Peaceful Fury
JP: 950
The Berserker, while under the influence of the Berserk status, can channel their rage clearly enough to control their actions. They are now capable of using abilities and commands other than standard attacks and Frenzy abilities while Berserk, though there's a small chance of them still not being able to focus on the ability at hand.
Requires Momentum

----------------------
Movement Abilities
----------------------

Irresistible Force
JP: 600
The Berserker refuses to let anything get in his/her way. Prevents Don't Move and Don't Act statuses.
Immune: Don't Move, Don't Act
Requires Rush, Equilibrium

Illusionist

The Illusionist can control imagery and sensation to delude his enemies, as well as conceal and guide his allies. Because of this, the Illusionist is both a valued support mage and perhaps the most subtle of all the mages.

Class Notes:

-----------------
Illusion Magic
-----------------

Lock
Casting lights and patterns around an enemy, the Illusionist makes the enemy's position far easier for his allies to track and strike at. This grants the Illusionist and his allies a +15% bonus to succeed in using an attack or ability against that enemy.
JP: 150
MP: 8
Speed: 5
Range: 3 v 1
Effect: 1
Add: +15% bonus to hit (3 Rounds Duration; Lock is not cumulative with itself or other Lock spells.)

Blink
The Illusionist blurs his own image, causing it to oscillate wildly around him. This makes his position harder to tell, thus increasing his evasiveness.
JP: 150
MP: 8
Speed: 5
Range: Auto
Effect: Self
Add: +15% Evade (3 Rounds Duration; Blink is not cumulative with itself or other Blink spells.)

Flash

JP: 250
MP: 16
Speed: 10
Range: Max
Effect: All Enemies
Add: Blind

Hallucination
Making illusions born of sheer madness, the Illusionist attempts to confuse and bewilder his enemies.

Speed: 15
Range: Max
Effect: All Enemies
-3 Brave once per target per skirmish.
Add: Confuse
Requires Flash

Mesmerizing Lights
The Illusionist manifests a series of hypnotic, glimmering lights, which dance around alluringly. Using these, he tries to lull his enemies into a hypnotic state that will make them open to his suggestions. This mesmerizing display may lull people to sleep, however.
JP: 500
MP: 30
Speed: 15
Range: Max
Effect: All Enemies
Add: Charm, Sleep (50%)
Requires Flash

Dread Image
The Illusionist uses his deceptive talents to project an image so foul and grotesque, the Illusionist’s opponents quiver.
JP: 450
MP: 40
Speed: 25
Range: LOS
Effect: All Enemies
Add: -5 Brave, -5 Faith for the duration of the battle. Roll seperately.
Requires Flash

Obscuring Haze
The target of this spell will have a 10% accuracy penalty added to any physical attack for four turns (not cumulative with itself). This is overcome by the Ranger's Tracking Abilities.
JP: 350
MP: 14
Speed: 20
Range: 8 v 3
Effect: 1
Requires Blink, Lock

Chaotic Cloud
The target of this spell will have a 10% accuracy penalty added to any magical attack for four turns (not cumulative with itself).
JP: 350
MP: 14
Speed: 20
Range: 5 v 3
Effect: 1
Requires Blink, Lock

Terrorize
The Illusionist wraps one of his enemies in a vile delusion, drawing upon their own fears to place them in their own personal hell of pain and terror. They can do little but freeze in terror as the pain harms their body in spite of the illusion's nonexistence.
JP: 550
MP: 24
Speed: 30
Range: 5 v 3
Effect: 1
Add: Stop
Deals 5% of Max HP damage every turn, synchronized with the stop status.
Requires Dread Image

Lock 2
Generating patterns and lights around multiple enemies, the Illusionist locks him and his allies on target with the guiding illusions. This grants the Illusionist and his allies a 30% bonus to succeed in using an attack or ability against those enemies.
JP: 600
MP: 32
Speed: 35
Range: 4 v 3
Effect: 2
Requires Lock

Blink 2
Distorts the image of a wide area, granting any allies within the same brand of protection as Blink does to the Illusionist.
JP: 600
MP: 30
Speed: 30
Range: 3 v 1
Effect: 2
Add: +25% Evade (3 Rounds of Duration; not cumulative with any Blink spell.)
Requires Blink

Vanish
Casting a powerful and complicated illusion, the Illusionist shrouds his target in a mirage that makes it appear as though they aren't there, effectively rendering them invisible.
JP: 750
MP: 35
Speed: 45
Range: 3. Vertical 1
Effect: 1
Add: Transparent
Requires Blink 2, Lock 2

Mirrored Army
The enemy will see a false image of the caster's army. They will move towards the false army instead of the real one if the spell is successful. Once an attack is made on a character of the false army the effects will leave.

-------------------

Magic Evade UP
JP: 550
Makes it harder to hit the character with magic spells. +10% M-EV.
Requires Blink, Flash

----------------------
Movement Skills
----------------------

Displacement
Through slight manipulation of images, the Illusionist makes it seem like their location is different than it actually is. Their apparent location is a random spot within 1 unit of the Illusionist's true location. This is overcome by the Ranger's Tracking ability, and the Illusionist's true position is revealed until his next move if he sustains damage while displacing or if anyone attempts to move through his true position, or if they move next to his false position.
JP: 770
Requires Blink 2, Lock 2
