Second Class Preview

Sorry for the delay, life got in the way, but work continues.  Today I want to share our second class

The Protector

Protectors are characters who feel that they owe their very survival to someone else, or that they need others in order to survive.  This class is designed around enhancing allies with buffs that increase their offense or defense, and heal them simultaneously.  The more buffs a character has on, the more potent healing abilities the protector can use.  The protectors also have access to some enfeebling abilities to weaken opponents, and use both ray and miasma based offensive abilities. 
The protector is a bit of a twist on a normal healer because his only single target and group healing abilities are very expensive both in AP and MP.  Instead of just healing damage as it is taken, the player is encouraged to use his buffs to both increase his characters' power and heal them.  Abilities that provide healing each turn are also available, and their potency is based on the number of buffs. 

First Class Preview!

Each of the main characters in Shades of Grey will be able to change his class whenever he's in a safe place, aka most save points.  In a few weeks I will begin to talk about our cast of characters, but today, lets talk about one of the classes.

The Redeemer 

The Redeemer class is for characters who believe that by protecting those close to them, their comrades and friends, they will be able to redeem themselves morally and spiritually.  These character believe they have wronged society and feel a need to make up for their short comings and past actions. 

Redeemers are the "tank" or "Steel Wall" type class.  They have abilities that allow them to reduce the party's damage, take damage in the place of other members, as well as, reduce their own offense and defense to increase the rest of the party's.  They are also able to attract enemies to attack them and heal their life, though not in large quantities, and cure their own status ailments.

Redeemers unlock their offensive potential by taking damage in their allies' stead.  Each time they cover an ally their class bar fills, and they can use the bar to use offensive actions and ultimate defensive actions.  Your party will want to have a Redeemer in the front row in order to protect the more vulnerable classes.
