Character Editing Options
Once you and your party being your adventure, other options will be available to your
characters. To use any of the options below, click on your character’s nameplate
(below his or her portrait) while in his or her review screen.
Change Profession
When your character feels it’s time for a change of pace, the Change Profession option
allows him or her to switch careers mid-life. To see which profession the character
qualifies for select the Change Profession option. Keep in mind that each profession
has its own minimum requirements, so you may not see every possible choice in your
selection (see Appendix B: Character Professions for information on minimum entry
requirements). Select one of the professions you see, or none at all. When characters
change profession, several things happen:
• They immediately begin learning the skills of their profession, and stop learning
those of the former.
• They drop to experience level 1 in their profession, and their statistics drop to
meet the minimum entrance requirements. When this happens, it might appear
that your dazzling Mage poured his brain on the floor when he changed
profession to a Fighter. However, that’s not the case. When characters begin a
profession, they aren’t adept in its ways, nor are they sure what to do. As they
learn the ropes, however, they begin to work faster and better and their statistics
will increase to reflect their improvement within the profession.
Change Portrait
To change your character’s looks while adventuring, select the Picture option. Just like
when you created the character, scroll through the pictures until you find the right
one.
Change Name
To rename your character while adventuring, select the Rename option. You can
rename your character anything you like, but the name must not exceed seven letters,
and no other character can share the same name.
Gaining Experience Levels
After a few healthy encounters with monsters, your characters will gain some
experience points. When they build up enough experience points, they gain experience
levels.
Gaining a level is a joyous occasion. On the screen, you will see your character’s
window and an announcement that he or she has gained a level. Following this, you
will automatically get all the news about changes to your character.
• The statistics may increase (they can decrease, too).
• He or she may gain hit points and stamina.
• His or her professional Rank may change.
• He or she may get a skill bonus to apply in areas of choice (Weaponry, Physical,
Academia, or Personal). Remember to add points to your magic user’s area of proficiency
