Description:

This mod adds 19 hero classes to the game to spice up the RPG part. These are represented by chains of 10 linked skills that you can take while leveling up. Every hero can only take one class but these can be respecced normally.

Here are the classes:

Bard (support hero, buffs allies and debuffs enemies)
Barbarian (rages and smashes face, can cleave enemies)
Cleric (support hero, heals allies, hurts undead and fiends)
Demonologist (fire mage, demon pet)
Dragon Disciple (support hero, gains dragon related buffs, buffs dragons)
Druid (battle mage, plant pet, buffs animals and plants)
Earth Shaman (battle mage, earth elemental pet, siege unit)
Gambler (support, makes enemies unlucky and your team lucky, grants random buffs and debuffs)
Necromancer (battle mage, undead pet, buffs undead)
Paladin (shields allies, improves morale, buff auras)
Ranger (buffs archers, animal pet, improves movement)
Rogue (flanking bonuses, improves mobility, army poisons)
Spiritualist (battle mage, attacks do spirit damage and apply condemned, can soulbind enemies)
Stormlord (lightning mage, gives allies flight)

Here is a Google doc link with the skill descriptions. They aren’t all completely current but it is mostly correct.

Known Issues:
1. I am not that artistic so I reused icons and special effects. These don’t always look great but everything should function correctly.
2. For the pet classes I had to do some strange things with skill prerequisites (so that the higher skills would override the lower skills) so it will sometimes be possible for example to take the level 9 skill before the level 8 skill.
3. I couldn’t figure out how to link things in the text so the descriptions are fairly verbose.
