Risen : Character Classes

Bandit

If you want to become a bandit, you should head to the marshes and read the part of the guide covering the Bandit Camp.

Developed skills:

• melee and distance weapons;
• magic scrolls;
• sneaking and lockpicking, useful in some missions.

Mage

The 2nd and 3rd choice are connected with each other. I’d suggest beginning with the town, completing some tasks in favour of the mages and only having the recommendation (seeWhere are the artifacts disappearing to?) from Carlos, head to the mages headquarters. There you will be able to choose amage path.

Developed skills:

1. melee and distance weapons
2. magic scrolls
3. magic crystals
4. runes
5. melee and distance weapons
6. magic scrolls
7. magic crystals

Warrior of the Order

Becoming an Warrior of the Order is another choice you can make while in the mage’s Monastery and having Carlos’recommendation (Where are the artifacts disappearing to?).

If you get caught by the inquisitor’s men and taken to the headquarters by force, you will be only able to become this class.

Developed skills:

1. melee and distance weapons
2. magic scrolls
3. magic crystals
4. runes
