Like the fighter, the paladin is a person of combat. The paladin is a warrior bold and pure, the exemplar of everything good and true.
Mages are the most versatile types of wizards, those who choose not to specialize in any single school of magic. A good fighter needs to be strong and healthy if they hope to survive. Fighters can be found at the front of any battle, contesting toe-to-toe with monsters and villains. They live or die by their knowledge of weapons and tactics. The fighter is a champion, swordsman, soldier, and brawler. They use their special powers to protect it and to preserve balance in the world. The druid serves the cause of nature and neutrality the wilderness is their community. When evil threatens, the cleric is well-suited to seek it out on its own ground and destroy it. The Cleric is a generic priest (of any mythos) who tends to the needs of a community. A good bard should be glib of tongue, light of heart, and fleet of foot (when all else fails).
Bards make their way in life by their charm, talent, and wit.
