Eternity TTRPG Fallen Paladin

In Eternity TTRPG, the fallen paladin is known as the “Destroyer of the Light.” It’s a class that believes in the right of the individual to pursue whatever ends they desire, and fights for the rights of those with power to dominate.

Whatever belief systems, virtues, and aims held by a holy paladin – the fallen paladin/ dark paladin seeks the opposite. The desire of the fallen paladin also isn’t truly relevant, morally. Value is placed on the desire, itself, over the consequences of seeking or obtaining that desire. Not that all fallen paladins are evil. They simply view “the light” and the subservience to others that it requires as meaningless in a world that favors power and those who take it for themselves.

Fallen Paladins in Combat

Fallen paladins in Eternity TTRPG combat fulfill the roles of damage dealer, defender, and healer. Their unique mix of spells and abilities allows them to take on multiple roles.


Fallen Paladin as Damage Dealer

1. Blood Spiller

After you cast this spell on yourself, every time you attack an enemy, you have a chance to deal additional damage. You can only deal damage with this spell once per turn. This spell can be maintained.


Critical Options…


  • Increases Blood Spiller hit chance.
  • Also, gain a chance to deal damage with Blood Spiller every time an enemy attacks you. This critical also allows you to deal damage with Blood Spiller twice per turn.
  • Whenever you deal damage with Blood Spiller you also heal yourself or an ally.


This spell functions well even if you have low hit chance. It’s a perfect complement to an all-out attack build, or a defensive one. Blood Spiller makes fallen paladins very dangerous enemies to fight. Choosing the defensive critical makes it dangerous for enemies to attack you, while choosing the healing critical increases your survivability during long fights.


2. Desecration

Targets up to three enemies in either weapon range (specific to the weapon you’re currently wielding), or spell range, at your choice. If this spell hits, you have a chance to deal damage on every one of each affected enemies’ turns. This spell can be maintained as an aura.


*Double-Hit: increases your chance to deal damage on each enemy’s turn.


Critical Options…


  • Increases Desecration hit chance.
  • The next time you are attacked, you also cast Desecration again before the attack is made. If this critical hits, it also allows you to stack double chance to hit with Desecration on any affected target.
  • Whenever you deal damage with Desecration, you also heal yourself or an ally.


The longer you anticipate a battle lasting, the more important this spell becomes. Desecration is one of the only damage over time spells or effects in Eternity TTRPG. Being able to stack the effect on enemies, with the second critical option is very useful for tanks. And having the additional chance for healing each turn is especially powerful if you’re facing multiple enemies, since Desecration targets all of them.


3. Oathbreaker

Weapon range or spell range, deals shadow damage (deals bonus damage to Light Aura Units). If this attack hits and the target isn’t healed by the end of their next turn, the target takes additional shadow damage.


*Double-Hit: deals additional shadow damage.


Critical Options…


  • Increases Oathbreaker hit chance.
  • Gives you additional Dodge if your attack hits.
  • On each occasion that you deal damage with this ability, heal yourself or an ally.


This is the staple attack of the fallen paladin as it can do multiple damage. It’s also particularly potent because most characters/ classes in Eternity TTRPG do not have access to innate healing spells or abilities. Any of the critical options are viable for almost any fallen paladin build. The defender critical option gives the class’ only possible buff to Dodge, from any spell or ability. Meanwhile, the healer critical option has a much higher chance for healing than other fallen paladin spells do.

Fallen Paladin as Defender

4. Dark Hold

Weapon range (specific to the weapon you’re currently wielding) or spell range, Dazes the enemy.


*Double-Hit: increases the duration of Daze.


Critical Options…


  • If this spell hits, the target also can’t defend or critical defend while affected by this spell. They also have either lowered Dodge or lowered Will, at your choice, for battle duration.
  • Increases Dark Hold hit chance.
  • The next time the target attacks anyone, before their attack, Instantly recast this spell on them. If the spell hits, it interrupts their attack.


This spell allows you to stun enemies at a distance, as opposed to requiring you to be right next to them. It’s a great utility spell for all fallen paladin builds. The first critical option is great for taking down a key target. The third option offers preventative protection against persistent attackers.


5. Nihilism

Targets up to three enemies in weapon range (specific to the weapon you’re currently wielding) or spell range, at your choice. If this spell hits, all affected targets have reduced hit chance against every target but you. This spell can be maintained as an aura.


*Double-Hit: further reduces enemy’s hit chance when attacking targets other than you.


Critical Options…


  • Even if this spell misses, you also gain increased hit chance with all attacks against affected enemies.
  • Increases hit chance with Nihilism, and increases the amount of reduced hit chance targets have against your allies.
  • Even if this spell misses, you also become immune to the next attack made against you.


Nihilism is helpful if you want to protect allies. It’s also particularly useful if you have higher defensive stats than allies, as you’re encouraging enemies to attack you, instead of them. The first critical option makes the spell useful even if your character isn’t extremely defensive. The third option is also great despite which build your character is using, as you can always dispel Nihilism from enemy targets, so you don’t keep incentivizing them to attack you.


6. Shadow Aura (Faith of Darkness)

You automatically detect Light Aura units within 100 yards and you are immune to shadow damage. Every turn, you have a small chance of gaining immunity to all damage and negative effects for 1turn (negative effects are not dispelled, just suppressed for 1turn). This is a passive effect, always active, and cannot be dispelled.


Critical Options…


  • You also gain increased hit chance against “Light Aura” units (Paladin, Sage, Witch Hunter).
  • You also gain increased defensive stats when attacked by “Light Aura” units (Paladin, Sage, Witch Hunter).
  • When you encounter a Light Aura unit (Paladin, Sage, Witch Hunter), instantly heal both yourself and an ally.


There are three variations of Shadow Aura in Eternity TTRPG, each with its own effect. The fallen paladin’s invulnerability aura is particularly useful. All three critical options make fighting light aura units substantially easier, but don’t have much effect outside of that.


7. Wicked Armor

After this spell has been cast, the target gains additional resistance to magic. This spell can be maintained.


Critical Options…


  • If a target attacks you while you are affected by Wicked Armor, you gain increased hit chance against that target.
  • Increases the amount of magic resistance.
  • The target also becomes immune to the next attack made against them.


Fallen paladins are able to bless themselves and allies with a dark armor that resists magic, which is extremely valuable against spell casters. Each critical option is valuable in its own circumstance, though the only one that applies universally is the third critical option as it makes you invulnerable to the next attack, even if it isn’t magic.

8. Blight

After you cast this spell on yourself, on every one of your turns, you have a chance to both cause fear to nearby enemies, and to heal yourself and nearby allies. This spell can be maintained.


*Double-Hit: Fear an additional 2turns.


Critical Options…


  • Also gives you a chance to deal damage to nearby enemies, each turn.
  • Increases your chance to cause fear to nearby enemies.
  • Increases your chance to heal yourself and nearby allies.


Blight is a great spell to maintain in almost every combat situation as it provides a lot of utility to the fight, additional options, and some degree of healing. The critical choices can all be maintained in a fight, as well, and really vary in what they offer. One of the big choices with this spell is whether or not it should be maintained in its critical form, at all, as keeping it up can be costly in resources.


9. Dread March

This ability can only be used when you drop to 0HP. Based on your physical hit chance plus your magic hit chance, instantly attempt to heal HP. For every time you have received healing today, you must roll higher to hit with this ability (can stack without limit).


*Double-Hit: heals additional HP.


Critical Options…


  • If this spell hits, you also instantly attack the enemy who just dealt damage to you, with any non-critical attack or spell of your choice.
  • If this spell hits, you are also immune to all attacks and negative effects until after your next turn.
  • Increases the amount of healing you receive.


Spirits of shadow cannot allow their champions of darkness to die too easily, so infuse the fallen paladin with life, when summoned. Fallen paladins have many ways to gain temporary invulnerability, and Dread March is one of the best ways. Since it’s an instant action, the effect can be very surprising to enemies. Dread March is also a great way to deal a lot of damage, or restore a lot of hit points, quickly, and as a last resort. This effect can only be used very rarely.


10. Life Eater

When any target dies (or lies dead) within spell range, instantly heal either HP or Wisdom. This ability also allows you to heal above your normal max HP or your normal max Wisdom.


Critical Options…


  • When this effect triggers, Instantly attack any enemy in Range with any non-critical attack or spell of your choice.
  • When this effect triggers, you are immune to all attacks and negative effects until after your next turn.
  • Increases the amount of healing you receive.


As the sword or staff of the fallen paladin becomes soaked in blood, they can absorb the soul of the fallen, restoring vitality, to continue fighting. The critical options for this ability all follow the same style as Dread March, above. This effect can only be used very rarely.


Fallen Paladin Skill and Knowledge

Fallen paladins have a bonus to the intimidate skill, and politics knowledge. Because an aura of shadows and domination continually hangs around them, they are innately intimidating. Even those with strong constitutions can’t help but be slightly unnerved around the sheer dark dominance of the fallen paladin.


Though study isn’t necessarily a common pastime of fallen paladins, members of the order know that to destroy organizations and nations, they must maintain an awareness of what’s happening in the world, politically. Fallen paladins make it their business to maintain abreast of political leaders, trends, and movements. Any of those categories could create an opportunity for darkness to thrive. People can be bought, ideas can be twisted, and carefully-crafted lies can be spread to achieve any means, just as well, or better than pure force.

Famous Fallen Paladin Lore

Lord Achilles Obsidian was the first dark elf fallen paladin to ever obtain an eternal soul, which allowed him to become an Eternal – an undying demi-god, in the world of Aeturnum. His journey was forced upon him when his mansion was abruptly destroyed by a berserk chimaera. Along with a holy paladin of little renown, named Cadmar, and a druid werewolf named Hong, Achilles was able to slay the beast, as vengeance for the town. Unlikely as the three were, together, their initial interactions together led to a great adventure.


Achilles quickly gained notoriety among fallen paladins. Whereas he had formerly been content ruling his small piece of the world, in Eboncrest, the destruction of his mansion set him upon a quest that allowed others to finally see the tremendous powers he’d kept hidden. After gaining renown as an adventurer, he established the black knights – an organization of primarily fallen paladins. He was challenged by Razian for leadership of the knights, a young prodigy of darkness. Many were amazed to see Achilles emerge from the duel, barely alive. Information came to the knights that the young challenger had received a blessing of shadows from an ancient lich, and so had drastically increased command of fallen paladin spells.


It was this initial attack from the mysterious lich that caused Achilles to redirect the purpose of the black knights towards the being’s destruction. Over many years, Achilles’ fame grew, a new home -Castle Dreadnaught – was built, the black knights flourished, and more information on the lich was obtained. “Vain” was the lich’s name, and he sought an eternal soul, so as to ascend and become an Eternal.


Achilles waged war on Vain and his legions. In Gwynn, the capital city of the holy lands of Morgana, the two faced each other in battle, where a fabled eternal soul had made an appearance. Due to the magnitude of the war and its effects on all mortals, even Cadmar, the holy paladin – now himself, vastly renowned – and Hong, the druid, temporarily joined the ranks of black knights.


Ultimately, Vain was victories over Achilles, who was nearly killed upon the field of battle by the great lich. It was only due to the heroic efforts of Cadmar that Achilles’ life was spared, though the intervention cost Cadmar his life. In that split second while Vain was distracted at Cadmar’s death, Achilles grabbed the eternal soul and became an Eternal. In his ascension, he used his newfound power to lay waste to Vain and his legions. The last that anyone has seen of Lord Achilles Obsidian since that day was him kneeling before the tomb of Cadmar, paying his respects to the paladin that had saved his “fallen” brother.

Crooked Moon: The Final Chapter and Incredible Conclusion

By Jacob Tegtman • February 3, 2026
Transcribed content from our recent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uajygh5mWSM Transcription “I once knew the kiss of the sun… Now, all that remains is annihilation.” This is how Crooked Moon ends. Not with a dungeon crawl. Not with a mystery. But with a reckoning—between a fallen god, a broken man, and the land they’re both about to destroy. Hey everyone, welcome back to Eternity TTRPG. If you’re new here, I break down tabletop RPGs and the great stories they tell—what they’re actually about, why they work at the table, and whether they’re worth your time. Today, we’re looking at one of my favorite campaign books of all time – and jumping right in to one of the best parts, which is the final chapter of Crooked Moon —the climactic conclusion everything in this campaign has been building toward. Jumping right in: the Wytchwood bends beneath the will of Kehlenn, the Crooked Queen —once the Green Queen, an archfey goddess of rebirth. Long ago, she ruled a world without people. A brutal, cyclical wilderness where life was short, terrifying… and natural. Then Phillip Druskenvald arrived. Somehow empowered, somehow victorious, he shattered her, buried her bones beneath a crooked oak, and reshaped the land into something civilized. Cities rose. People multiplied. And Kehlenn, broken, but somehow still alive, or conscious – remembered every second of it. Centuries of hatred twisted her into something new—not a goddess of renewal, but of vengeance. Her plan has been unfolding slowly, patiently, sacrifice by sacrifice… until now. Because Phillip has finally broken. Phillip Druskenvald was once the most powerful being in the land. Now he’s a grieving man who has lost everything. After the massacre at Rowan’s Rise earlier in the campaign book—and the death of Adela, the love of his life—Phillip retreats to the Green Queen Inn. There, surrounded by the stench of burned flesh and desperation, he turns to forbidden magic. The Old Ways. Resurrection. It fails. And in that failure, Kehlenn finally reaches him. She promises what no one else can: Adela’s soul. Redemption. A chance to undo his sins. So Phillip walks into the Wytchwood like a sacrifice that doesn’t yet know he’s already dead. This is where the players come in. They follow. The Wytchwood isn’t just a forest—it’s ancient, hostile, and alive. And it isn’t empty. Stalking the trees is The Horned King : a three-eyed, whispering embodiment of sin. A creature born from Phillip’s own soul, shaped by Kehlenn to be her consort and executioner. He doesn’t attack, but he tempts. He speaks to characters about their desires. Their doubts. Their secrets. He promises comfort. Power. Relief. This chapter isn’t just about fighting evil—it’s about confronting what your characters want most… and whether they’ll pay the price to get that desire. The whole Wytchwood is like this for the players – numerous challenging encounters, interwoven with direct and indirect influence from the shadowy horned king. Through it all, and finally, at the heart of the forest stands the Crooked Tree . Beneath it, in a root-choked barrow, Phillip kneels—bound, broken, and waiting. Kehlenn doesn’t hide anymore. She tells her story plainly. She was robbed. Forgotten. Replaced. And now, she will unmake everything Phillip built. Civilization. Memory. And identity itself. Phillip’s death, for her, will not be just vengeance—but it’s actually the final ingredient. The roots tighten. Phillip’s last word is a whisper. “Please… Adela.” And then he’s torn upward—into the tree. At this point, The true Horned King is born, with Phillip’s body and soul being the final missing piece. No longer a shadow, but a colossal, winged, horned monstrosity—part goat, part dragon, part man. Kehlenn watches from the bark of the Crooked Tree itself as the final battle begins. This is the end of Crooked Moon as a campaign. Players get to experience an amazing multi-phase fight. There’s ritual circle burning beneath a grinning moon. And, of course, a god screaming encouragement as her consort tries to tear the world apart. And when the Horned King finally falls—when his massive body collapses into blood, bone, and a single goat skull—it still isn’t over. Kehlenn still clings to the land. Sensing this, from the remains of the Horned King, a goat’s skull lies in the burning ritual circle, before the tree —cracked, it whispers to the characters, speaking with Phillip Druskenvald’s voice. Phillip, his soul barely intact, understands that killing the Horned King wasn’t enough. In reality, Kehlenn’s bond to the land still remains. Phillip’s soul, which helped fuel both the Horned King and Kehlenn’s ritual, is no longer fully consumed . So, what’s left of Phillip lingers in the goat skull as a final, conscious remnant. And in that moment, Phillip realizes that Kehlenn can only be severed from the land through sacrifice , not violence. So, the skull speaks, guiding the players toward the only remaining solution. The sacrifice to unbind Kehlenn requires that each character give something up—something meaningful. Fail, and the ritual completes. The Horned King returns. And most importantly, the world ends crooked: it continues, but in a more or less permanently corrupted state where the living are doomed to short, terrifying lives, but in an endless cycle. Succeed, however, and the Crooked Tree burns. If this happens, Kehlenn is bound to the moon she worshipped. Phillip and Adela fade together at last, their story finally at rest. Druskenvald survives. It carries the scars of what happened, and it will never be the same. And this is why Crooked Moon lands so powerfully. The finale is built on tragedy, temptation, and consequence, with an ending shaped by sacrifice rather than spectacle. What matters most is what the players are willing to give up to save the world – not just their combat stats. If you’re looking for a campaign that builds steadily toward a meaningful conclusion—one that rewards emotional investment and delivers a true sense of finality—this is the ending waiting for you in Crooked Moon. No matter how much time I spend in the Crooked Moon campaign setting, I continue to be ever more impressed. If you pick it up for yourself, I’d love to hear what experiences you have with your games! Lastly, to wrap up today’s video, I have a host of other Crooked Moon videos you may want to check out, that give greater context to this awesome campaign conclusion: race deep-dives, other adventures in the book, monstrous playable characters, the bestiary of boss monsters – and so much more. So, be sure to check out those videos if they interest you! Otherwise, thanks for watching, and I’ll see you in the next one.

Exploring Eberron now Relaunched on D&D Beyond

By Jacob Tegtman • January 28, 2026
Transcribed content from our recent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eg7cXmFUVU Transcription Hey everyone! Welcome back to Eternity TTRPG. Today we’re firing up our Mark of Finding to uncover something huge for Eberron fans — the beloved sourcebook Exploring Eberron has officially relaunched on D&D Beyond as a fully supported digital release. Originally released back in 2020 on the DMsGuild as a third-party best-selling supplement by Eberron’s creator Keith Baker, Exploring Eberron was one of the most successful community books ever — and now it’s come full-circle. That means it’s now officially available on D&D Beyond, fully updated to use with the current D&D rules and integrated into D&D Beyond’s digital tools like the Character Builder and Maps VTT . So, you’re probably wondering – what’s inside the book? I’d say it’s deep content, not just lore, that the book dives into: First, we have: Setting Races & Cultures Exploring Eberron digs deep into the cultures and mindsets of iconic Eberron peoples like Changelings, Warforged, Kalashtar, Shifters, and Aereni elves. Rather than focusing on mechanics, these sections emphasize identity, societal roles, and story hooks that help these species feel rooted in the setting. Then there’s Planes of Existence & Manifest Zones The book offers a detailed look at Eberron’s unique planar system, where planes wax and wane in influence rather than remaining static. Manifest zones tie those planes directly to the world, creating locations where reality bends in ways that can dramatically shape adventures, cities, and campaigns. Next up is: Character Options Exploring Eberron includes a wide array of character options, from lore-driven subclasses to new species, feats, and spells, all updated for compatibility with the 2024 ruleset on D&D Beyond. These options are tightly woven into the setting, making them feel less like generic power boosts and more like natural extensions of Eberron’s world. One of my favorites is: Magic Items & Monsters The magic items and monsters in the book are designed to reinforce Eberron’s themes of magical industry, ancient empires, and strange planar forces. Many entries come with built-in story hooks, making them also quite useful for DMs looking to spark plot threads. And finally, we have Expanded Eberron Lore At its core, Exploring Eberron expands on the setting’s foundational lore, diving into the aftermath of the Last War, the influence of the dragonmarked houses, and the uneasy relationship between magic and technology. It provides context and nuance that help DMs portray Eberron as a world shaped by innovation, conflict, and moral ambiguity. In total, the digital book includes 6 subclasses, 10 species, 12 feats, 4 spells, over 40 magic items, and 8 monster stat blocks — not bad value. On D&D Beyond the digital book retails at $30 — basically what you’d expect for a mid-sized sourcebook. If you already own the original 2020 PDF or print version on DMsGuild, the rules aren’t exactly the same, as the original used older rulesets obviously, but the lore is still gold. So, is it worth it? If you’re deep into Eberron, love D&D Beyond functionality, or want all your content integrated cleanly into the builder and VTT, then this is a no-brainer. But if you’re happy with the DMsGuild version and don’t use Beyond much? You might stick with what you have — it’s still solid and compatible. Nothing crazy groundbreaking here, to be honest. Exploring Eberron on D&D Beyond is a fantastic evolution of one of the setting’s best third-party books, and it’s great to see it finally fully supported and updated. There is a lot here to love. Well, that is it for today, my friends. Let me know in the comments — are you grabbing this on D&D Beyond? Or sticking with your original edition? Otherwise, hit like, subscribe, and may your dice always roll well!

Final Fantasy TRPG: Legend Edition — Classes & Jobs Explained

By Jacob Tegtman • January 20, 2026
Transcribed content from our recent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPQfDB2cKSI Transcription Every Final Fantasy hero starts with a choice. Sword or spell. Raw power, or skill. But in Final Fantasy TRPG: Legend Edition, that choice doesn’t stop at your Class — it’s defined by the Jobs you choose from your class, the Circles you unlock, and the Limit Breaks that change the tide of battle. Today, we’re breaking down how Classes and Jobs actually work in Final Fantasy TRPG: Legend Edition — and how they shape your character from level one… to the final boss. Hey everyone, welcome back to Eternity TTRPG channel! If you caught one of my recent videos from before the holidays, we went deep into the Final Fantasy TRPG: Legend Edition core rulebook — and today we’re diving into one of the most iconic elements of any Final Fantasy system: Classes and Jobs ! Whether you’re planning your first character or optimizing a seasoned hero for this recently-released game, this guide has you covered. One of the longest-standing traditions in Final Fantasy is its Job system , and Legend Edition embraces this fully. Classes in this game are the framework or chassis of your character — they determine your character’s HP, MP, trained Skills, associated Jobs, and your Class Limit Break . Jobs are where the cool stuff really happens. Each Job is a set of abilities on a progression track, granting new Features at specific levels — these are called Circles . And you don’t just pick one — your character ends up with three Jobs (or four with optional full buy-in), each advancing at a different speed to give you abilities every level. There are four broad Classes you’ll choose from. Each class has what you could consider as subclasses – in Legend Edition, these are the “Jobs.” So, for example, some of the Warrior Jobs are berserker, dervish, dragoon, fighter, monk, samurai, and so on. So, let’s dive into the four classes: Number 1 - Warrior Masters of physical combat, Warriors excel in strength, endurance, and frontline fighting. Their Limit Break — Action Surge — lets them make extra attacks during an encounter, perfect for dealing burst damage. 2. Expert Battlefield manipulators and support roles go here. Experts rely on their wits and skill versatility, and their Limit Break — Savant — adds bonus dice to Skill rolls based on their level. 3. Mage If magic is your playstyle, Mages are your go-to. They lean into Spellcasting and area of effect mechanics. Their Turbo MP Limit Break doubles the effectiveness of MP spent on magical abilities during an encounter. And number four is Adept The hybrid class — versatile, adaptable, and capable of mixing physical and magical roles. Adepts don’t have a unique Limit Break; instead, they choose one from the other three classes, based on their job build. Now here’s where Legend Edition gets fun. Across the system are 50+ Jobs drawing inspiration from classic Final Fantasy favorites — think Black Mage , Dragoon , Thief , and more — giving you a huge palette of archetypes to mix and match. Each Job grants seven Features – called Circles – over its progression, spaced across levels based on whether the Job is on a Fast, Medium, or Slow advancement track — meaning strategic choices shape how your character evolves through the campaign. So, for example, you may choose the Warrior class because you like its HP, MP, and Skill point advancement numbers, you like its limit break, and you enjoy playing that overall archetype for your character. Then, you pick three Jobs to fill out your character. Say that you want a full warrior build, so you choose your three jobs to be: Dragoon, Knight, and Monk. From here, you’d decide which of those three jobs would be on your Fast advancement track, which should go on your Medium track, and which will be on your slow advancement. Important note here though: only one of your Jobs needs to be associated with your Class. That means the rest can actually be totally outside that box — so yes, you can be a Mage-warrior hybrid if it fits your concept! You could be a warrior class, with the Dragoon, Black Mage, and Chemist jobs. So, here’s the quick breakdown of Job progression: Fast Progression: Abilities at levels 1, 3, and every 3 levels thereafter Medium Progression: Abilities at levels 1, 4, and every 3 levels thereafter Slow Progression: Abilities at 2, 5, and every 3 levels thereafter This staggering system means every level feels like a growth moment. You get new Abilities (“Circles”) from all three of your jobs at the same cadence. But at the same time, you get Circles from the Jobs that are most important to you, at earlier levels. The rule book mentions this too, but if you do want to try out this awesome system, I’d recommend that you don’t stress too much about your first Job choices. There’s a ton of options here, which is great for replayability, and experimenting with side campaigns. But, there’s also too many Jobs to really nail down what you want to ideally play, the first time you try out this game. Probably instead, just pick classes that sound fun, and give it a whirl. To wrap up this video, I’m going to cover my personal favorite Job from each of the first three Classes. Since there’s over 50-jobs, there’s too many for me to dive into – at least today. But hopefully these quick snapshots give you a picture of how Jobs work, what kind of Abilities each provides, and some inspiration for your upcoming game: If I was to play a Warrior Job, I’d start with Dragoon: As you probably know, Dragoons are also often known as Dragon Knights . Dragoons are aerial combat specialists who use momentum for power. Originally trained to pierce the hides of massive foes like dragons, their style revolves around leaping high above the battlefield and crashing down with overwhelming force. Depending on the setting, Dragoons may hunt dragons, fight alongside them, or carry on their legacy after their extinction — but they’re almost always portrayed as guardians who stand against towering threats . In play, Dragoons are defined by the Jump and Blood of the Dragon Circles . Jump removes them from the battlefield for a round before returning with an automatic, high-impact strike. Meanwhile, critical hits generate Blood of the Dragon to fuel powerful Dragon Arts , which are the Dragoon’s situational combat techniques that modify your attacks, defenses, or Jump actions, for additional benefits. Next up, for the expert class, I’d probably start with Squire – I just have so many good memories from playing Final Fantasy Tactics: Instead of perfecting a single discipline, Squires develop adaptability through experience and improvisation. That flexibility makes Squires exceptional team players , able to step into gaps and support allies in many situation. Mechanically, the Squire revolves around Fundaments — where they grant short-term bonuses to allies based on that ally’s Class. Warriors hit harder, Experts perform better at skills, Mages cast more effectively, and Adepts can receive whichever boost fits the moment. As the Squire advances through their Circles, they can grant Fundaments to multiple allies at once, add secondary effects like increased damage or longer debuffs. I’m not always a team buffer kind of guy, but I do like the way Squires here make everyone else better , turning party coordination into a great strength. For my third Job, I’ll choose from the Mage class. This one’s really hard for me as I could see myself actually going like 3/3 mage, or maybe 2/3, at least. But, if I had to pick just one for my remaining Job slot, I’d go with Necromancer: Necromancers are reclusive magic-users whose art is inseparably tied to death and the Shadow. Often misunderstood or feared, they’re immediately recognizable by their Bone Commander — an undead construct that serves as both assistant and bodyguard. While some Necromancers lean into darker reputations, others act as shamans or intermediaries, communing with spirits to resolve unfinished business or bring peace to the dead. Their morality isn’t defined by their magic, but by how they choose to wield it. In play, Necromancers are spellcasters with access to the Necromancy spell list and a powerful Companion system . Their Bone Commander acts on their shared action economy, providing combat presence without needing its own stats or hit points. Their Limit Break, Friends on the Other Side , allows damage from the party to count as Shadow damage, supercharging Necromancer features and reinforcing their role as battlefield controllers who blur the line between ally and undead asset. So! There you have it. From adaptable Squires and sky-shattering Dragoons to shadow-touched Necromancers and beyond, Legend Edition’s Classes and Jobs are all about expression through choice .
