Following him are two powerful races, the T'Rang and the Umpani, as well as your own brave party of adventurers. Everyone is headed to Dominus, a world on the cusp of the Cosmic Circle, birthplace of the Astral Dominae and home of the Cosmic Lords. Many paths will converge on Dominus, and many long-hidden secrets will be revealed. Of course, you don't have to have played Crusaders before playing Wiz 8 since, among the multiple beginnings, there is a special beginning for new players. Wiz 8 retains all the classes and races that existed in Crusaders and adds the new character class - the Gadgeteer.
Gadgeteers create strange and unusual devices to help their teammates.
Their methods are a bit unconventional, but they are every bit as powerful as more traditional classes such as fighter or mage. The Gadgeteer's basic weapon is his Omnigun, a hand-crafted firearm of his own invention. Gadgeteers improve their Omniguns as they go up in levels. Furthermore, the Omnigun is capable of firing all kinds of ammunition making it extremely versatile. Where Gadgeteers really shine, though, is in creating their own gadgets.
