Careers

Warhammer Online: Return of Reckoning has two factions: Order and Destruction.

Each faction contains three armies, each with four career choices. Each career (class) in Warhammer Online conforms to an archetypal role. For example, the Warrior Priest is a support or healer career with abilities that enhance healing and support while fighting in melee. These careers offer variety rather than simply reiterating common archetypes.

For an overview of abilities and action bars, see Abilities.

Character Appearance

The initial character creation process allows players to select the race, career, and basic look of their character, including facial features and accessories. In addition to the original name that the player chooses for their character at creation, the player has the option to add a surname to their character for a small fee at rank 20.

Dye is available at NPC vendors for recoloring armor and accessories. Players are able to decorate themselves with trophies, such as the heads of fallen enemies, which are equipped and attached to various points on the character model.
