The adventurers hid behind the rocks, hoping the dragon wouldn't find them. They could hear him following them, and could only imagine what he's do with them when he found them. "I'm done hiding!" Yelled the warrior dressed in green. "You're crazy!" yelled his teamates. "Am I?" He pulled out an ocarina, played a few notes and stepped out to face the dragon. The dragon roared, and began to shoot a flame at the man. He smirked and waved his hand in front of himself. A faint blue light covered him, and the fire glanced off him. He drew his sword, dropped to the ground, and rolled past the dragon. The dragon looked confused. Suddenly he dropped to the ground, the hero's blade imbedded in his skull.
((Yes this is a class based on Link from the Legend of Zelda. Bear with me.))
Initiate of the Green Tunic
From the lavish castle towns, to the lush green jungles, to the frozen tundras, Initiates of the Green Tunic are brave, determined, and pure. They live only to protect those that they love or feel in dept to. They will easily throw away their life to save a friend or family member. Bards sing of their deeds, fighters train to learn their techniques, and rogues admire their speed and heads for initiative.
Adventures: Initiates are often drawn to the adventuring lifestyle by the promises of skill and wisdom. They are enchanted by those more powerful than they, and aspire to learn all they can.
Characteristics: Initiates are good warriors, but mix up their fighting prowess with a few magical abilities and techniques that make them unique. While a fighter may win in a straight fight, an initiate is quicker and has magic at his disposal.
Alignment: Initiates cannot be evil. While they can be selfish, stern, and mean-spirited, they do not desire harm to anyone that wants peace or is good at heart.
Religion: While not known for their piety, they often worship Kord, Heinroneus, or other gods that favor martial strength and goodwill. They also at least respect the three ancient godesses, if not worshipping them directly.
Background: Initiates come from as diverse backgrounds as fighters. Some are from prestigious military families, other are the children of nobles. Others still may have been street rats or Altar boys/girls. Their background matters little as long as they devote themselves to their principles.
Races: Humans, with their ambitious nature and elves with their magic skills make good Initiates. Half-elves can also be good at it. Halfling Initiates, while rare, aren't unheard of. Gnomes, Dwarves, and Half-orcs seldom become Initiates.
Other Classes: Initiates get along fairly well with fighters, rogues, and bard. Paladins dislike them, often considering them not truly pure. Wizards are often a bit suspicious, wondering how a fighter can get such magics. Sorcerers, monks, and druids are indifferent. Barbarians don't often understand them, and rangers don't care either way, often only caring that they are a good addition to a team. Clerics can find common ground if their dieties are friends, but otherwise are indifferent.
Role: While not a tank, Initiates are good fighters and with the magics and abilities they command can be formidable ranged warriors or be great 2nd melee warrior. They are also good at filling the "5th slot".
