Rune-keeper

Overview

Rune-keepers are gifted linguists and masters of true names. With this knowledge, a Rune-keeper crafts powerful rune-words that help the Free Peoples. Through unparalleled mastery of Angerthas and Tengwar runes, a Rune-keeper evokes much more than a normal scribe. Dagor runes deal with battle, Nestad with healing, and Thalas with support.
The class is inspired by the master Elf-smith Celebrimbor, whose skill with runes of power was unparalleled.

Roles

  • Healer (blue)
  • Ranged dps  (red/yellow)

Races

Dwarf, Elf, High Elf, Man, River Hobbit, Stout-axe

Gameplay

Rune-keepers must choose during each battle to focus on damaging skills or healing skills. Either choice shifts their Attunement, unlocking more potent skills, but the choice also restricts access to other skills. In addition, they have support skills that may always be used. In Fellowships, a Rune-keeper keeps allies healed, or deals significant damage to foes.
