The Character Builder gizmo offers users the unique ability to virtually
create and edit a character's class path to forsee the future attributes,
stats, skills and spells. Character Builder is complete down to every
race, class, skill, and spell. It goes as far as to only allow feasable
race/class combinations that Materia Magica allows, displaying stat bonuses
for each class added, and allowing Archon only after the four primary
classes have been filled.
The race list:
This is a list of all races a player may choose from to create a character
with in Materia Magica.
Adding Classes:
Once you have selected a race, you may begin adding classes. The class
area displays first, the four primary class sub-groups. Those being
Fighter, Mage, Cleric and Thief. Each of these has a drop down list
of the associated classes your character may take based on their race.
It should be noted that Cavalier and Valkyrie are not only race dependant
skills, but sex dependant as well. The program does not keep track
of the character sex, as often some players decided the benefits of
an opposite sex class out weight the down side of playing an opposite
sex character.
When a class has been selected from one of the sub-groups, simple click
the 'Add Class' button and it will be added to your class list in the
next available slot, starting from first class on to fourth. The sub-group
will now display the name of the class you chose instead of a drop down
list until the class is deleted, or you restart the creator.
Deleting Classes:
A class may be deleted from the list at any time while running the program.
To delete an unwanted class, simply select the corresponding sub-group
in the class list, and click the 'Delete Class' button. The class will
be removed, and all other classes shifted towards first class. If you
had chosen four classes and archoned, you will lose your archon class
until you once again have four classes. At that time you may archon
again.
Re-Arranging Classes:
Since the primary stat or your first class recieves a +3 bonus instead
of a +2 bonus like all subsequent classes, there are two options for
re-ordering your classes. You may use the add and delete buttons to
remove and re-add classes until it suits you, or you may use the 'Move
Up' and 'Move Down' buttons. The move buttons shift classes around
in your list, one at a time. Up moves towards first class, while down
moves towards fourth. The archon class may not be moved, and you may
not move a class from first to fourth, or vice versa. To move a class,
simply select it from the class list like you would to delete it, instead
clicking the 'Move Up' or 'Move Down' button as desired.
Statistics Area:
Below the race and classes boxes is the Statistics box. In this area,
your character's information will be displayed. This includes the race,
classes in order from left to right, vital stats, racial bonuses, and
the skills and spells you will have available from the classes you
have selected.
Starting Over:
You may start over one of two ways:
1) You may select a new race from the list provided and click the 'Change
Race' button.
2) You may click 'Reset All' at the very bottom of the page to reset
everything.
