How leveling up works

 Leveling up works by ability buying; you use the money you have in order to buy moves to learn, buy abilities. You can mix and match classes; however the abilities are built within the class with the idea in mind that they're built to synergize together; this isn't to say you can't buy other class abilities but they'll require a different mindset  / playstyle. An example; fighters are built around understanding the battlefield, and your weapons; taking on 1V1 encounters.

While Mages are built around thinking about the entire battle, less focus on the battlefield with flexible roles to fill from utility to crowd control. The abilities are design to play on the class strengths, and weaknesses.

That being said it's also designed to allow the classes lack of synergy to be less broken; a priest fighter build is going to be underpowered compared to a pure priest, and a pure fighter build. However a priest mage is going to be a better combined choice.

Classes built around this philosophy;

Magic + magic = synergy

Fight + fight =  synergy

etc.

Classes are built around these factors in order to be considered a class if you wish to homebrew.

Utility; what uses outside of fighting, outside of combat to perform.

Warrior; your offense unit for how strong they are.

Defender; How well can they protect the team

Support; buffs, healing, etc. They're the ally.

All classes are built with a mix of these attributes in mind.

All races are built in such a way they're useful in one class or another; an example being Mallak make great bards due to channeling magic through their voices already; Drakeith make great fighters, and berserkers.

Every 3 levels you can take a feat. Every level up you're also taking in more benefits which is decided by the class you take. Each class has unique bonuses each level up.

Movement rules (rough draft)

 Movement isn't that complex; movement speed is different from speed, imagine speed is your reflexes while movement speed is your overall distance you move in a short distance. Each movement action you take cost MoP (movement points), and outside of that will cost your PP next. Movement speed is your overall speed system. Land movement speed; your movement on land. Swimming movement speed; your movement speed in the water. Climbing movement speed; your movement speed climbing. Jump movement speed; your launch off and into the air. When dealing with a complex or moving environment you have to perform a roll + agility modifier. An example being jumping off a falling rock or rocks. When crits on complex movement you gain an additional movement bonus doubling the distance you can go. A high agility modifier allows you to slip through crowds in streets as well, blending in said environment. Falling; when falling every 10 ft you gain a D6 of damage from a fall; you have to roll an agilit...

Drakeith Language (W.I.P) (Rough Draft)

 Shadow Tongue Rules 1 - pronouncing capitals is treated different than the normal word and or vowel, so w is treated as a different letter than W. 2 - pausing, shortening or stretching a word changes the word; see is different than seee in the Shadow Tongue. 3 - When adding a letter to the end of the pronounced word changes it. 4 - verbs are used before and after a word in a sentence, "I threw the ball" is treated as valid as, "ball I threw" but double verb is treated different, "punch punch" is treated different than, "punch" 5 - honored words; these words were made after great warriors, Drakeith's and non-drakeith's that kings had the honor to fight, if your opponent came in with a unique weapon that wasn't seen at the time, if the king won he'd name the item after you in their tongue, and so honored words that don't fit the rules of the language entirely. However expectations are made such as engineers and scientist as wel...
