Class Academy

CLASS ACADEMY
Inspired by the Assassin, Dervish, Mesmer, and Monk classes from a classic MMO, this mod gives you access to new classes and a port at which to unlock them. Visit the Academy and partake in four battles, with each fight unlocking a new class to try. Craft and wield a new weapon type: the scythe! Scythes function as two handed axes with greatsword AOE and a -1 movement speed debuff applied on hit.

The Combat Academy can be found south of Bilibas at 25 N, 90 E. The challenges of the Academy are designed for mid to late game parties. Unlocking the four classes will be easier than the infamous sword dojo in Tsavor, but probably more challenging than most of the other dojos.

NECROMANCER UPDATE: A 5th class has been added: the Necromancer! Unlock the Necromancer by finding the secret passage in the Academy and talking to Morio.

Cross-Mod Support: You can now craft Heartwood, Bloodstone, Gossamer, Xochitl, and Yore scythes! Place this mod below the relevant crafting material mods.
