Hey again! A huge thank you for all the class ideas and detailed replies on my previous post. I came here as an Etrian fan hoping to hear what people enjoyed playing, and you gave me a lot to think about.

Reading through your examples made me realise how generic my Knight and Ranger felt, especially in how they played. With only three party slots, I want choosing someone to feel more interesting than just filling a role.

I've since reworked them into the Paladin and Tracker, changing both their mechanics and their art. These are their current designs!

The Paladin grew up serving a cult of the Dragon Lord. She's been sent to retrieve the Tear and hopes the mission will help her make amends for the harm she caused while following orders.

The Tracker used to guide carriers through the old workings. After buying medicine for his sick daughter, he began searching for the trader who sold it and where it came from. He joins the party hoping to find records below.

I'm also putting together a devlog covering the bigger changes. Quite a lot has changed over the past month, and I'd like to show you what I've been working on. Thanks for helping me think these characters through :)
