WARRIOR GUILD

Prerequisite to Join: None
Prerequisite to Establish:

Master - Knight
or
Master - Mercenary

Warriors are known as fearless adventurers, honest individuals who fight with full commitment. They rely heavily on their endurance (HP) and strength (Power), and offensive techniques are of utmost importance to them.

Warrior Guilds are well-respected and welcomed since they contribute to the protection of the city and the realm. To join a Warrior Guild, one must pass a trial.

[Counterattack]
Allows the character to automatically counterattack if struck directly on their defense zone. The counter results in an unavoidable hit against the attacker, dealing damage based on the character's current Power plus weapon damage. This can occur multiple times within an attack phase, depending on how often the attacker randomly targets the character's defense point.

Mage

[Special Mage Ability: Spellcasting]
Allows spellcasting every second round, but the mage must rest between spells. Fairies are also welcome in the Mage Guild, as they are naturally attuned to magic and do not require a test.

Becoming a priest or priestess requires joining a church, donating all material possessions to the church, swearing an oath of loyalty, and passing a holy trial.

[Special Priest Ability: Prayers]
Allows healing spells every second round, with rest required in between.
[Blessing] Automatically doubles the current mana when performing healing spells.

KNIGHT GUILD

Prerequisite to Join:

Knight

Master Knight

Knights are fearless royal soldiers, loyal warriors who fight with full dedication. They emphasize endurance (HP) and strength (Power), with offensive techniques being crucial. Knight Guilds are well-respected and contribute significantly to city and kingdom defense. Joining requires passing a trial and learning the Knights' secret technique.

[Special Knight Ability: Last Stand]
Enables the user to keep fighting even after HP drops to 0 or below, until they reach -50% of their maximum HP. Afterward, the knight collapses unconscious and gravely injured (-15 HP penalty). The ability ends either when -50% of max HP is reached or when the fight concludes without the HP being restored to a positive value, making this technique extremely risky for the user.

SANGHA GUILD

This guild focuses on the (combat) training of monks ("Bhikkhu") and nuns ("Bhikkhuni"), rooted in belief and philosophy. Sangha members seek enlightenment, striving to overcome the illusion of self and push their physical limits. The guild maintains close ties with faith-related temples and churches, often assisting as guardians or ritual helpers.

[Iron Fist] (Passive)
Gives Sangha members a +30 Power bonus in unarmed combat.

The bonus does not affect natural Body Strength.
The bonus does not apply if a weapon is used or if the Sangha wears [ARMOR].
If the Sangha is temporarily knocked out by a Muay Thai skill during battle, the +30 Power bonus is lost for the rest of the fight.

MERCENARY GUILD

Prerequisite to Join: None
Prerequisite to Establish: None

Mercenaries are ruthless adventurers who fight with full commitment. They rely heavily on their endurance (HP) and strength (Power), prioritizing offensive techniques. Mercenary Guilds are viewed with suspicion, as they ally with the highest bidder. Joining requires passing a trial.

[Special Mercenary Ability: Berserk]
When HP falls below 50%, each additional point of damage taken grants +1 Power and +1 attack precision (or speed).

NECROMANCER GUILD

Prerequisite to Join:

Necromancer

Necromancer
- Unholy Aura *5

200 HP victim: Fully restores the necromancer's HP.
400 HP victim: Grants +20 Power for the remainder of the battle.

The necromancer can choose the effect if the victim's HP meets the criteria.

REAPER ASSASSIN (Rare Class)

Prerequisite to Join: None
Prerequisite to Establish: Must have slain 50 creatures with at least 9,000 HP each.

Reaper Assassins are elite assassins, trained by the most elite guild in Ataraxia. They are strategic and deliberate, focusing on precision in their deadly work. Unlike most fighters, they must carefully plan each move.

[Special Reaper Ability: Deadly Precision]
This class attacks differently than others. Regardless of available attacks, only one opponent can be targeted per combat round. Before attacking, the Reaper must "Observe" their target, making a roll like a normal attack (1d6 - 1d20). If the roll does not surpass the target's defense, the opportunity is missed. If successful, the Reaper may attack the next round, emphasizing "Critical Hit" or "Crushing Blow." Damage from a successful hit is tripled (non-magic only). This process repeats with each attack attempt.
