Trait List

By Darkgolem

The
Rune-Keeper is an effective and versatile class who can directly damage
opponents, buff and debuff, or heal allies, but only one of these three
sets of skills at a time.  Their abilities with runes allow them
to use cold, fire or electrical damage in combination or in specialty.



The traits, skills and deeds of a rune-keeper are fairly complex, and
it is a good idea to learn know what can do what before you begin
play.  Having a good idea of what you skills can do allow you to
cycle back and forth between battle, steady and damaging attunement
quickly and efficiently.
