The Captain is a masterful leader, a commanding presence who strengthens allies, but is also skilled in the use of arms. Their battle cries strike fear into the hearts of their enemies, while their allies rally to their banners of war.

Role

Jack of All Trades: The Captain has a hand in just about every job for a group. Alone a Captain is a capable warrior and healer, but in a group, they improve a fellowship to an exceptional level. Though they isn't the best in any one area (even when they are traited that way), they can fill just about any role in a group to a limited extent. Equipped with a Herald and plenty of offensive and defensive capabilities, the Captain is a class that requires some thought and focus to mastering.
