Class Showcase
Ten classes. One mythic war. No wasted roles.
DOTG’s class design is built around interdependence, not redundancy. Every class brings a distinct battlefield identity, a different relationship to divine power, and a role that matters when the fight becomes dangerous.
Featured Class
Paladin
Tank / Support Hybrid · Divine Bulwark
The Paladin completes the ten-class ecosystem by bridging the frontline discipline of a tank with the stabilizing utility of a support class. In DOTG, Paladin is not a watered-down fighter with a heal spell. It is a mythic protector role built around presence, conviction, group shielding, emergency recovery, and the kind of battlefield command that changes whether a party collapses or holds.
This class should feel aspirational. It carries a visual and philosophical weight that fits the game’s larger theme: divine inheritance turned into protection, judgment, and unbreakable resolve.
Stand between the realm and ruin. Hold the line. Turn divine authority into group survival.

Design Philosophy
Every class should matter. No role should feel disposable.
DOTG’s class page works best when it presents each class as part of a living ecosystem rather than a list of isolated options. Players should immediately understand how group play works, where their class fits, and why one composition feels different from another.
This page is designed to support that direction: stronger archetype grouping, a featured Paladin identity, and clearer reasons to care about class choice.
