King's Bounty - Characters

Player Characters

Warrior:
The Warrior is one of three characters that the player can chose in the beginning of the game. A Warrior receives two Might-skills at the beginning and high combat characteristics. When he has enough experience to access a new level, he can also get access to the Mind- and Magic-skills. A Warrior increases his Leadership faster than a Mage or a Paladin. The Leadership allows him to hire more troops in the beginning of the game. A Warrior can learn the skills "Iron Fist" and "Anger".

Paladin:
The Paladin is an intermediate class between a Mage and a Warrior. He is a fighter against evil and he develops his Might- and Magic-skills evenly. He can learn Mind-skills faster than the other two characters, so he receives a greater advantage when fighting against Undead creatures or Demons. A Paladin can learn the skills "Holy Anger" and "Runic Stone".

Mage:
The Mage prefers wisdom and knowledge instead of brute force. He cannot command mighty armies and he doesn't know tactics to increase the troop's fighting ability. A Mage has his Magic-skill to increase the strenght of his own troops or to weaken the enemy's troops. He can cast powerful elemental spells or resurrect slain friendly troops. Only the Mage can learn the skills "Higher Magic" and "Alchemist".
