# Professions

### In addition to Racial options, Heroes also are assigned a profession class that comes with additional static bonuses.

These profession classes include the Mighty Warrior, the Pious Cleric, the Skillful Ranger, Powerful Wizard, Sneaky Thief, Nature Attuned Druid, and the Evil Necromancer! While some classes may be weaker than others in raw statistical power, their abilities more than make up for the loss.
