AGI - Agility. Increases your chance to disarm attacks, flee, and dodge enemy attacks. It also increases a character's ability to disarm traps without them going off.

INT – Intelligence increases the effectiveness and success rate for all magic spells.

LUC – Luck increases your resistance to status effects and the chance for rare items to drop from enemies. It also increases a character's ability to disarm traps without them going off.

PIE – Piety increases the effectiveness and success rate for all priest spells.

STR – Strength increases physical damage done and the hit rate for all physical attacks.

VIT – Vitality increases the amount of hit points a character receives when they level up.

These are the baseline stats for each of the races, sex is meaningless.

HUMAN: 8 STR, 8 INT, 8 PIE, 9 VIT, 8 AGI, 9 LUC

There are 2 ways you can get your desired class.

The first way is that you can get lucky with your starting stat roll when creating your character. This method can take a while but you can back out when the stats are rolled then renter the stats screen to reroll your starting stat pool. Note that you can use growth fruit if you are close enough to your desired class to give yourself a 10 stat point boost but you only start with 5 of them so use sparingly.

The second way is that you can "graduate" your character from one class to another once they have gotten the required stats they need via leveling up. This means that the character will become level 1 in their new class but still maintain all the spells from their old class.

REMEMBER WHEN CREATING YOUR PARTY THAT GOOD AND EVIL CHARACTERS WILL NOT WORK TOGETHER!

However if you allow monsters to run away when given the chance eventually you will become good and vise versa if you decide to kill monsters that wish to flee.

**CLASSES**

Fighter: 12 STR
Special Ability: Trick Attack (Costs one turn, but makes Fighters pummel enemies with random hits in the next.)

NOTE: A good meat shield and general damage dealer, don't snub you nose at this class due to it's low requirements!

Mage: 12 INT
Special Ability: Focus (Allows the mage to charge a spell for one turn to increase its effectiveness.)
NOTE: Samurai's and Lords can only learn the top to spells listed in a level block while the Mage can learn all of them giving them twice as many spell options.

Priest: 12 PIE, alignment evil or good
Special Ability: Exorcise (Kills ghosts dead!)

NOTE: This class can identify traps, the success of which is determined by their piety.

Thief: 10 AGI, 12 LUC, alignment evil or neutral
Special Ability: Hide/Backstab (Can hide in the shadows one turn and then the next turn perform a deadly Backstab assuming that the character has not been detected.)

NOTE: ALWAYS TAKE A THIEF! They can disarm treasure chest traps which makes getting treasure way easier and a lot less painful.

Bishop: 13 INT, 13 PIE, alignment evil or good
Special Ability: Appraisal, Magic Wall (Magic Wall that prevents damage to the party when used. Appraisal allows you to identify items for free which is required to use them, also can detect cursed items.)

NOTE: You should always have a Bishop even if it means they just hang around the INN and never goes adventuring as they can identify items for free which will save you a ton of money in the long run!

Samurai: 15 STR, 11 INT, 10 PIE, 14 VIT, 10 AGI, 9 LUC, alignment neutral or good
Special Ability: Sougeki-Hamon no Jin (an attack that does multiple strikes to multiple random
enemies.)

NOTE: Most people use multiple Samurais in their parties because they are a good source of attack spells which free's up the Mages to use their spells on most fearsome foes.

Lord: 15 STR, 12 INT, 12 PIE, 15 VIT, 14 AGI, 15 LUC, alignment good
Special Ability: Huge Shield (The shield allows them to take hits from enemies in place of other party members.)

NOTE: A very useful tanking class.

Ninja: All stats 15, alignment evil
Special Ability: Hide/Backstab (Can hide in the shadows one turn and then the next turn perform a deadly Backstab assuming that the character has not been detected.)

NOTE: Ninjas are better at killing than the Thief class thanks to being able to 1 hit kill on any crit (must learn assassination skill first then perform a successful backstab attack!) but are worse at disarming traps. Most people still consider them a straight upgrade to the thief and they do require some additional effort to integrate in to a "Good" party.
