Magic-Stealth-Combat-Other

Magic-Stealth-Combat-Other (Or MSCO) is the system of classes developed for Maesian Wars. From its original incarnation these four "trunk" classes have always existed, with varying class content within them based on various rpg sources.

Under the Magic category one has various forms of magic users, such as mages, necromancers, healers, and druids.

Under the Stealth category you would find the masters of deception and diversion such as rogues, assassins, rangers, and illusionists.

Under the Combat category, classes are listed a bit differently, organized by fighting style/weapons used as opposed to a specific class name (a system which was previously employed unsuccessfully and created at least a dozen combat subclasses). Combat classes are natural, weapon-and-sheild, dual wielders, and two-handed.

The Other category used to include mixed or long-range combat classes (such as lancers or archers) in the more complex systems, then included classes that would not fit into other categories (such as trainers - essentially what a ranger is now under the stealth category). As of current the Other category contains secondary subclasses a character can have, giving them a hyphenated class and granting extra (usually minor) abilities. With this system a character could be a "Ranger-Archer" or a "Natural Combat-Berserker" or something to that effect.
