Classes

Each character starts the game as Tier 1 in a single Basic Class of their choice. You have the option to Advance in your current class or Gain a new class. You have 10 "Tiers" or "Levels" to spread around across all of your class choices, so make sure you choose wisely. You cannot undo a class choice once it has been made. You are stuck with the decision whether you like it or not. Advancing in your current Class lets you gain access to higher level skills and you have to be at least Tier 2 in a class to access the Prestige Classes available to that class. However, Gaining a new class not only gives you more options, but if you progress to Tier 2 in both of your classes you can access even more Prestige class options. The only class you cannot Gain after making your character is the Mage class. This is due to the nature of Magic in Terra Heroum, so it is not simply something you can learn.

Gain a new Class at Tier 1: 150 XP
Advance a Class from Tier 1 to Tier 2: 100 XP
Advance a Class from Tier 2 to Tier 3: 200 XP
Advance a Class from Tier 3 to Tier 4: 400 XP

Abilities

While some characters do not start with Abilities, most will eventually acquire them. While some Abilities do scale well with higher levels, others do not, and as you face stronger and stronger enemies you will need to improve your Abilities. You may also eventually want to learn a new one.

Gain a new Ability at Tier 1: 150 XP

When you buy a new Ability, include in your Shopping post all the details related to the Ability (the exact same information you would put if you were adding it to your Inventory).

Upgrading an Ability from Tier 1 to Tier 2: 100 XP
Upgrading an Ability from Tier 2 to Tier 3: 200 XP
Upgrading an Ability from Tier 3 to Tier 4: 400 XP

Below you will find a list of Upgrade Templates you may choose from when upgrading an Ability. They are sorted by Martial/Magic just as Ability Templates are, include the effects of the Upgrade on your Ability, and what this may do to modify the Cost of your previous Ability. You choose one Upgrade Template per Upgrade to apply to your Ability.

Enchantments

Many Heroes wield magic arms and armor, and so do many non-Heroes. Enchanting weapons and armor is a natural thing many do when they seek to strengthen themselves further. There are two ways to handle magic enchantments: static bonuses to Weapon Damage/Armor, or magical effects. The former is self-explanitory, you use magic to improve the base stats of the Weapon/Armor even further than mundane methods could do. The latter, however, is the exact same process as if you were buying and upgrading a Magic Ability for yourself. This is the most common way for non-Mage characters to gain the use of Magic Abilities without Pact Magic, and is infinitely more acceptable in society. Any Abilities placed on Weapons or Armor has their cost replaced with X uses Per Combat based on the Tier of the Ability; Tier 1 has 4 uses, Tier 2 has 3 uses, Tier 3 has 2 uses, and Tier 4 has 1 use.

In the case of static bonuses, Weapon Damage increases by 5 per Tier Enchantment, Armor increases its Armor bonus by 4 per Tier Enchantment, and Shields increase their armor by 2 per Tier Enchantment.

Static Bonus Enchantment Tier 1: 200 XP
Static Bonus Enchantment Tier 2: 400 XP
Static Bonus Enchantment Tier 3: 600 XP
Static Bonus Enchantment Tier 4: 800 XP

Weapon/Armor/Shield Ability Costs: As Cost for Standard Abilities
