The basic emphasis in development is on base parameter: «strength», as important is also parameter «constitution».

Priority parameters: «damage», «health», «chance to hit».

Sequence of studying of schools and guilds for the first levels of the character: Development: First levels.

Recommendations on sequence of further development: Development: Builds.

Combat spells:

• «frenzy» - increases a physical damage of the character;
• «dispel magic» - removal of positive magic effects from the opponent;
• «tiger strength» - effect increases value of parameter «power»;
• «feline grace» - effect increases value of parameter «dexterity».

Defensive spells:

• «sanctuary» - effect reduces any type of damage caused to the player by half;
• «steel body» - effect increases value of parameter «constitution»;
• «bears blood» - effect increases health of the character;
• «mirror shield» - effect reflects a part of a loss of the opponent;
• «layered defence» - effect protects the character with a shield of double value of its «health».

Cure and diseases:

• (Up to 100th level) – cure by a standard «first aid» spell;
• (Above 100th level)recommended diseases – «porphyria» or «lycanthropy»;
• (Not infected character) use of a spell «cure» and/or its mass analogue «heal» for group of characters .

Skills which allow surviving:

• «reflect shield» - allows blocking some hits of the opponent by a shield;
• «shield of faith» - blocks influence of combat and negative spells of the opponent;
• «stun» - gives the negative effect blocking use of magic spells by the opponent;
• «negate elements» - allows to avoid halved damage of an Attack spell of the opponent at its miss, studying of this skill also gives ability to use «radiant sphere» spell (effect of giving 5 layers protection from a magic loss);
• «survival specialist» - increases the maximal value of «health» parameter proportionally to the level of the character;
• «extra life» - allows surviving with the certain chance after «death» of the character;

Skills which will help to increase the opponent loss:

• «blade mastery» - increases base parameters of a sword (damage and chance to hit);
• «axe mastery» - increases base parameters of an axe (Damage and chance to hit);
• «duel wield» - allows to take the second weapon in the left hand instead of a shield, development of this skill increases efficiency of use of the second weapon;

Skills which will help to cause the opponent loss more effectively:

• «seaking blade» - allows causing half the damage at a miss;
• «disembowel» - gives the negative effect essentially reducing the maximal value of a Health of the opponent;
• «break shield» - gives negative effect, for some time forbidding use of the weapon or a shield in the left hand of the opponent;
• «bloody carnage» - gives negative effect «searing pain» (the opponent loses 5 % from maximal «life» and «mana», receives an increased self loss and cannot conjure spells).
