Class:Rune-keeper
Official Game Entry
Class: Rune-keeper
- Class Difficulty: Moderate
- Role: Damage / Healer
- Gameplay: Rune-keepers must choose during each battle to focus on damaging skills or healing skills. Either choice will shift their Attunement, unlocking more potent skills, but restricting access to others. In addition, they have support skills that may always be used. In fellowships, a Rune-keeper keeps allies healed or deals significant damage to the foes.
- Lore: Rune-keepers are gifted linguists and masters of true names. With this knowledge, a Rune-keeper crafts powerful rune-words that help the Free Peoples. Through unparalleled mastery of Angerthas and Tengwar runes, a Rune-keeper evokes much more than a normal scribe. Dagor runes deal with battle, Nestad with healing, and Thalas with support.
This class is inspired by the master Elf-smith Celebrimbor, whose skill with runes of power was unparalleled.
