Classes in Merentha

There are currently 23 different player classes to choose from in Merentha. A class is your chosen profession (often called guilds on other MUDs).

When you begin Merentha you start as an 18-year-old character entering the world. You don't have to choose a class immediately, you can explore and gain a few levels first. But eventually you'll need to find your class hall and join.

Some classes are special quest classes. Mercenary, Anti-Paladin, and Shaman are not available immediately, they're joined through an in-game quest you must discover.

Each class has special attributes, abilities, skill and spell lists. Stat improvement costs are also somewhat class-based. Choose wisely, you cannot change your class later.
