During character creation the player chooses a class:[31] fighter, ranger, paladin, thief, bard, mage, cleric, druid, barbarian, monk, or sorcerer (the last three of which are new for the game).[1][32] Different classes have different special abilities and restrictions;[32] a thief character, for instance, can find and remove traps,[33] but thieves have limitations on which weapons and armor they may use, and cannot be of lawful good alignment.[34] Most classes also have a subset of kits, or specializations within a class, to choose from.[32][35] Kits have special advantages and, usually, disadvantages;[32] for example, the cavalier—one of the kits of the paladin class—specializes in fighting monsters such as dragons and demons, but cannot use missile weapons.[36] At some point in the game, the player may join or take over a stronghold.
