Assassin
- Stalk - Stalk allows Assassins to track the movements of another player who has recently passed through the same area where the Assassin is searching. The command moves the Assassin automatically along the path that their target has taken until it is halted or the trail grows cold.
- Sneak - Assassins can enter and leave rooms undetected by sneaking. Autosneak allows them to always sneak with each movement, without typing the command each time. Assassins may sneak consecutively the number of times of their level (ie, A level 10 Assassin can sneak ten times in a row) before they become exhausted. When an Assassin sneaks onto a square they can still be seen if a player or monster looks around or enters the square.
- Hide - Hiding makes an Assassin invisible to players and monsters on a square. Other characters on the screen may attempt to search for hidden players, with success determined by the race and intelligence of the searcher as compared to the Assassin. Any action other than a /me emote cancels the hidden state. The Assassin must leave and reenter a room to hide again after each backstab. Some monsters (ie, trolls) are good in detecting hidden players.
- Backstab - When hidden and with a dagger-type weapon equipped, an Assassin may deal a powerful backstab blow, up to 4 times their normal damage.
- Dual Wield - Assassins have the ability to equip two weapons at one time, when they aren't using a shield . They can only use one weapon at a time however. Toggle between the two by typing "/tw".
- Natural AC - Assassins have a natural 2 AC starting at level 8.

- Forage - Barbarians cannot brew potions but can forage for the ingredients. These herbs can only be seen by classes that can forage.

- Forage - Any class that can brew potions can also forage for the herbs that are used in brewing. These herbs can only be seen by classes that can forage.
- Roundhouse - If a Monk successfully lands 2 hits in a row (armor absorbs still count as a hit) then a third attack will result in a "flying roundhouse." Roundhouses do anywhere from 1.5x to 2x normal damage. If you perform ANY action at all in between any of the 3 attacks the cycle is resetted.
- Magic Resistance - Monks have a higher natural magic resistance that most other classes. The chances of spells "unaffecting" on them is increased significantly. Even Saurian and Half Orc Monks with very low wisdoms can still stand toe to toe with magic users.
- Natural Armor - Due to the lack of armor type equipment that Monks can wear, they have a natural armor bonus. At level 1, you won't have any armor; level 2 you'll gain 3; from 3 to 25 you get an additional 2 per level. At level 25 you should have a total of 49 natural armor.
