The fantasy MMORPG Crowfall presents the customization options for characters: Promotion and Disciplines. The latter allows you to play as a werewolf.
Character creation starts with selecting an archetype. Subsequently, positive and negative traits are chosen. The more positive traits the character should have, the more negative traits he must possess.
After some time – the exact requirements are not yet specified – the archetype can specialize into another class, known as Promotion. The Knight can be upgraded to a Swordman (focus on damage), Crusader (focus on defense), or Sentinel (focus on ranged combat). This decision is final. However, the positive and negative traits assigned to the archetype can be redistributed once. Thus, any beginner mistakes can be corrected.
Another customization option is provided by the Disciplines. The player collects runestones and applies them to their character. The Knight can thereby gain more sword damage or strength. Through the runes, the skill cap can be increased, and entirely new abilities can be acquired. However, some Disciplines are restricted: A class that cannot use shields cannot possess any Discipline that enhances shield abilities.
The necessary runestones can be removed at any time. However, doing so destroys the stone. Found stones that are not needed can be traded with other players.
Finally, here are two examples of possible runestones:
Alchemist Runestones
Wine from water, lead from gold
- teaches recipes for crafting potions
- teaches alchemy skills
- grants a bag slot for potions
Werewolf Runestone
The strength of the pack is in the wolf, the strength of the wolf is in the pack
- allows transforming into a werewolf for a limited time
- increased damage against vampires
- increased movement speed
- additional equipment slot: Jorts
