Gemstone Warrior
The Gemstone Warrior is a versatile and resilient combatant, drawing strength and magic from the mystical power of gemstones. As an Intelligence-based half-caster, the Gemstone Warrior seamlessly blends martial prowess with elemental magic, wielding both weapons and spells with equal skill. Trained in light and medium armour, and proficient with shields and an array of weapons, these warriors are equipped to handle various combat situations. Their spellcasting focuses on elemental damage, protection, and utility, allowing them to adapt to different challenges on the battlefield. At higher levels, their connection to their gemstone focus allows them to enhance their weapons and armour, embodying the essence of their chosen stones.
Gemstone Warriors can choose from three distinct paths: the Knight, who excels in direct combat and defending allies; the Guardian, who specialises in protective spells and shielding companions; and the Mage, who enhances their magical abilities and intelligence to outwit foes. Each path provides unique abilities and spells, making the Gemstone Warrior a diverse and dynamic class, ready to shine in any adventuring party.
