Diplomacy, discretion, and subtlety.  These are all words with many syllables whose meaning (and spelling) completely escapes Thom.  Thom is really good at hitting things with other things.  Good-natured, fun-loving, Thom is always ready to jump in and help those in need.  Fighters have few skills, but the greatest techniques for combat. 

The creak of the bow, the thrum of the string the smack of the arrowhead into it’s target, this is Sierra’s happy place.  Although good in hand-to-hand combat, Sierra focuses on the longbow and how to solve her problems from a distance.  Rangers have many skills that focus on getting along in the wilderness.  Stealth, climbing, swimming, and handling animals are all skills that Rangers are good at.

Acrobatics, light weapons, light armor. The Swashbuckler thrives with a slash of the rapier and a gleam in their eye.  Mara is always up for some mischief, counting on her quick wit and her quicker reflexes to get her out of trouble.  In addition to normal combat, swashbucklers have a point system where they can spend points to parry enemy attacks and get bonus attacks on enemies they have parried.

Hours of study have translated into a mastery of the arcane arts.  Gharf has long since gotten used to being the smartest cat in the room.  With a wide array of spells at his disposal, Gharf feels he is prepared for anything the world has to throw at him.  Gharf has a fine eye for detail and is always searching for new knowledge and lore to add to his ever-expanding grimoires.

As a kit, Duline always felt she was destined for something grand.  When she discovered the family secret, that a great ancestor had made a pact with a Fairie Lord, she knew what that destiny was.  Duline strove, toiled, and practiced, and ultimately was able to unlock within herself the power that was given by the Fey.  Although not able to deal much damage, Duline can turn the tide of battle by disabling a foe with a touch, casting a group into slumber, or beguiling her opponents to avoid a fight altogether.

Ancient tomes and ancient bloodlines are certainly ways to achieve arcane powers.  Another way, one sometimes frowned upon by those who do not understand, is to make a pact with an otherworldly being to unlock the secrets of the universe.  Tiyeri has certainly not been very understood throughout her life.  Her mannerisms, her style, her very method of thinking has often perplexed those around her.  And yet, her patron, her muse, the thing that makes Tiyeri Tiyeri is the very essence of what it means to be a catfolk.  Tapping into the core of cat-ness through her ever-present familiar – the toad Grala, Tiyeri has a bond with Agility that makes her difficult to pin down on the battlefield.  A rare caster that likes to get into the thick of things, Tiyeri brings an unexpected approach to solving problems.

Alyara has always had a way with animals and has, since youth, felt a desire to protect and shelter those in her community.  It was only natural for her to fall into worship of the cat Deity Bastet.  Since
answering the call to service, Alyara has tended both to the people and the animals of her domain.  Although not terribly handy in a fight herself, her magic is called upon to heal the injured, protect and bolster those who campaign with her. 

Although a divine healer like a cleric, oracles do not
worship a single deity or follow a single precept.  They draw their powers from groups of gods
that adhere to single concept, forces of nature, or ideals powered by the belief of many.  For instance, Milah has always been fascinated by storms, lightning, and the raw power held within the air around her.  She has embraced it, and from it has drawn divine might from her connection to the Plane of Elemental Air.  Her spell selection is only a fraction of what other Healer types can call upon, but what she lacks in versatility she more than makes up for with the volume of magic she can employ.  When other falter, Milah continues to drive forward supporting her friends and smiting those who oppose
her.  Milah is most comfortable wrapped in a magical shell of air and dealing directly with the enemy face to face.

Clerics worship deities, oracles connect with sources of divine power, Jilyana simply listened.  She listened to those around her, she listened to the heartbeat of her community, she listened to the experiences of those who went before her.  In doing so, Jilyana found a connection with the spirits of the ancestors of the catfolk.  Zilla, her close companion and fox familiar, has helped her channel the spirits of life and healing to give guidance and blessings to those around her.  Shamans have the full healing and
buffing spells of a cleric, combined with the nature and elemental spells of a druid, making for quite a potent combination.  Jilyana is just as comfortable being face to face with the enemy as she
is being in the back healing and providing ranged support.

Jherri has always had a knack for taking things apart. The problem was, she was never very good at putting them back together again. She always had a curiosity for what things were made of, but not so much about what made them work. Being poor meant that Jherri didn’t have many things to tinker with, so Jherri would find things belonging to others to explore the parts of. For some reason other people didn’t’ seem to like it when Jherri would come through and take their things apart, so Jherri got good at not being noticed. Climbing, squeezing into tight places, taking locks apart – just getting there is half the fun! Being small means her blades don’t do a lot of damage, but if she teams up with a friend, her sneak attack will bring the big-uns down quick!

Things have always just seemed to come easy to Kitch. Anything she applied herself to she has succeeded at, and her natural curiosity about the world around her led her to explore many different interests. With an intellect that could only be described as stunning, people skills that could be described as barely passable, and a keen eye for details and patterns, Kitch has dabbled in and mastered a vast array of skills. Additionally, she has picked up the mage-science of alchemy letting her enhance or buff herself in many ways.

Slayers combine the stealth and skills of rogues with the combat and nature senses of a ranger. Rikkan has always loved the thrill of the chase, the pursuit of a target, running down and taking out something bigger than he is. And let’s face it, most things are bigger than he is. Rikkan mastered the skills necessary to make sure nothing stood between him and his target, be it locks, guards, or the natural hazards of the forest. He uses his favored axes to great effect, to the point where he has even tied one to his tail for an extra swing .
