Nehrim:Classes

Birthsigns

In Nehrim, you do NOT choose your class. When you encounter Merzul in Arcane Sanctum for the first time during the quest A Glance to the Stars, Merzul will inquire about your birthsign. Birthsigns provide you with some minor spells, and your actual class depends on your weapon choice.

The Paladin

These warriors can call for the Blessing of the Eliath, by which these ancient creatures fill them with a light source that restores life energy, reflects damage and raises resistances. They also have a spell Laying on of Hands that completely heals them with no mana cost of all injuries, but removes all mana for several seconds. They also have two stances, Aura Protector (Guardian Aura) and Divine Aura.
