Runepriest

Archetype: Healer

Special Mechanic: Rune Crafting

Runepriests are the Dwarven Healer. Runepriests are a ranged support career specializing in Runic magic and crafted Rune stones. A single Rune stone has a different positive effect on the bearer. Using a blend of both mending and destruction, Runepriests have both powerful offensive magic and strong defenses.

Specialty
The key to the Runepriest career is the ability to cast runes which act as temporary buffs that provide additional benefits to the character using them. Runes can be used to attack the enemy directly, they can increase the damage caused by a player, and they can make them tougher and stronger. Runepriests are able to cast runes before entering battle which can be used every 60 seconds for an hour.

Path of Grungni
A master of this path focuses on powerful and direct effects, learning to both restore his allies and smite his enemies with equal skill. The path of Grungni is for those who prefer to focus on a single target at a time, be they friend or foe, and unleash powerful effects upon them.

Path of Valaya
An arguably more subtle mastery, the path of Valaya is focused on effects which continue to linger after they've been invoked. A master of this path prefers to stick to tested, tried and true slow-and-steady abilities, whether he's building up his allies' strength until they become unstoppable, or whether he's grinding his enemies down with inevitable and inescapable doom.

Path of Grimnir
This path is concerned with runes which affect large, sweeping areas as they unleash their innate power. A specialist in this path is an expert at changing the ebb and tide of combat by either bolstering his allies' entire front line, or by sending vast swaths of crushing power across the enemy masses.
