This means that synergy bonuses provide more skill points than are available (at the start) to a hero with no synergised skills. A synergy means that the hero starts with that skill available at level 1, and an extra skill point is put into it. If a class and race have a skill that is shared by both, it is called a synergy. These skills and the hero's base stats can be invested in upon a level-up. For every bonus stat a class gains, there is another stat that gains a penalty, so the combined total of bonuses and penalties will always be 0.Įach class and race can give from 8-10 skills to your hero, depending upon your race/class combination. Different classes provide different base stat bonuses and penalties. Every class can be chosen by every Race.Ĭlasses change the base stats ( Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence and Charisma) of your hero. In total there are 29 different classes (28 with the official 1.03 patch).
