Class Design: Summoner - Hannah Davidson 1700122

## Class Summary

A summoner is a caster that will be available to play at the start of the game and has two sub-classes; one for damage and one for healing. This class does the majority of it's damage and healing through summoning beasts and humanoids and controlling them to do their work. Both classes will work on a mana-based system (like most MMORPG healers).

## Background

Once the Re-Enchantment occurred, the summoner community became split. Some of these casters saw their abilities in a positive light and wanted to help others, so they mastered the abilities of healing and mending and became known as Redemptionists, whereas others saw their abilities as a curse, and trained endlessly with their new found powers to get back at the world for making them the way they are, becoming known as Hunters.

## Weapons and Armour

Both sub-classes wear medium armour that provides decent protection while also being forgiving movement-wise. Redemptionists are a ranged class, and usually carry a main hand (such as a small staff or a wand) and an off-hand (something to channel their spells through, such as a magical tome or an enchanted object). Hunters are a melee class, and tend to wield large two handed weapons (like battleaxes or claymores).
