The Classes of Aetolia
Your class in Aetolia is a fundamental piece of your character's identity; will you fight with shadow and spell as a Sciomancer, or call down holy fire to smite your unruly foes as a Luminary? Perhaps a lute-wielding Bard is more your flavor, or maybe a forest-dwelling Shaman. These options and more are available to you throughout your time in Aetolia. If you see more than one class that strikes your interest, multiclassing is available as well!
Newbies are given unlimited chances to try out the different classes available, so feel free to give a few a try before settling into your primary class.
