Lore-Friendly DLC Classes?

[Soren the Silent]

Okay, so... We've got Grail Knight Kruber, which has some merit, as it isn't unheard of for Empire men to become Grail Knights... And if slaying Chaos Warriors, in Warhammer Fantasy Lore is enough for some Knights of Bretonnia to become Grail Knights, then... Well, its enough for ol' Kruber to have slain... Well, in my case, probably several hundred. Probably should have a pegasus, or at least a warhorse, in the Keep for people to interact with, but that's neither here, nor there.

Outcast Engineer Bardin, which somewhat makes sense. Karak Ziflin, from what I know, is one of the more... Technological Dwarfen holds, due to their proximity to the Empire. They focus mostly on metalworking and iron mining. Less with runecraft and the like. Plus, his backstory for it is more than believable enough.

What do we think we'll get for The Elf, The Salty, and The Blaze?

My thoughts pertain thusly;

Kerillian has a few options. Bladesinger, Sister of Avelorn, or Spellweaver. The most likely of which is Sister of Avelorn. Mostly due to the base kit of her character, the bow/ranged focus, would be kept. Personally, I'd love for her to be a Spellweaver/spellcaster, because, to be perfectly honest, Sienna's casting just doesn't do it for me. Still, I'm presuming Sister of Avelorn.

Saltzpyre. Two lore-friendly options. A Warrior Priest of Sigmar... Or Warrior Priest of Ulric. He IS a Middenlander, after all. That's where the Wolf God is most worshiped. So, I see War Priest of Ulric as the most likely, but his dedication to Sigmar makes me think otherwise... Still, options are open for him to worship the god that Sigmar did.

Sienna. Not much to pick from, honestly. Her focus on fire is somewhat spent. She has, perhaps, an option in using Flame Storm as her Ultimate? I've tried to think of more... Proper titles for her new Class, but... I've got nothing. I mean, we could just go with "Bright Wizard" and call it good, but... Seems a tad lazy, eh?



What does everyone else think?

Already said before that Sienna could do with a Matriarch class, with a very strong buff to ranged and a high-end spell as career skill.

[WICKERLOVE]

Sienna is a hard class branch off for because for a Bright Wizard you can only go up or down, so Matriarch or a Magistar of the Bright Order seems like the only liable option. (Since they already addressed her fire addiction with the Unchained class) Unless they take her to a whole new direction somehow.

Saltz, he can deepen is devotion to Sigmar and become a Warrior Priest or The Silver Hammer Order promotes him to Witch Hunter General giving him open sanctions to crusade the Skaven(would be dope to see him have AI witch hunter(s) instead of an ultimate)


Kerillian is interesting based off her background, Handmaiden and Shade classes it hints three things:

Her mysterious encounter with the Spellsinger, the connection she had with the Everqueen, and her Ancestral noble bloodline of Clar Karond.
Also note that she is the only character with no last name and has a mystery behind her exile from the wood. And of course she's not your average "elf."

I wouldn't rule out Sister of Avelorn, yet.
But the vibe I'm getting from all information provided is that there is a possibility of nobility involved for her next class.

I don't know why ker couldn't become a wardancer after V1 lorewise : she spends so much time wandering with mayflies and for them she could totally devote herself to Loec, the trickster god. Not to mention ker has no actual dedicated to melee specialist able to survive in the midst of battle : you can either shoot from afar, go stealthy or dash to avoid being overwhelmed.

Saltz personality as body would suit way more fine with wolf priest than with sigmar priest imo, not to mention it would add an ice magic user to the game, which would be quite a heavy addition.

Sienna could fall to corruption and use dark magic, making her this dedicated range magic user so many are asking for, not to mention it would finally add corruption to this warhammer game, which wouldn't be minor either.

even if we got a priest of ulric, i really doubt he would get ice magic. and wouldnt saltzpyre try to kill sienna if she were to "fall to corruption"? we'll prob get another fire magic user (not that i want another, i just think we'll get one)

yeah, it's pretty much unheard of. you have to be part of a bretonnian noble family to be knighted (or at least fake it) and grail knights have to be judged by the lady and literally are always proper bretonnian nobles who have undertaken the quest as a trail. that ♥♥♥♥ made zero sense and they know it.

As far as you know, at least. All of this is approved by GW, so...

According to Fatshark, Kruber has bretonnian roots (I think even noble roots, but I'm not sure). Aside from this, the Lady chooses mostly bretonnian noblemen but I think it's more because of practical reasons then a explicite requirement.

For me it looks like the Lady generally chooses a limited number of worthy people to protect her country. When you want people to protect the country, of course the 1st choice are people from the country itself what explains that she chooses bretonnain people. Kruber is special because he already indirectly defends the country and maybe the Lady knows how important Kruber's fights/missions are for the defense of the country.

I don't think the Lady chooses nobles by purpose but the choosen person has to proof her worthiness. Of course it's much easier for nobles with combat training, a complete armor, good weapons, warhorses and soldiers than for a untrained farmer with a improvised weapon to survive strong monsters and other big dangers so naturally most worthy people are nobles. Since Kruber is slaying lords, monsters and Chaos Warriors in big numbers, I would think he proofed more himself then many others that were choosen.

Also it looks like Kruber got some blessings but not the full power of a Grail Knight or he would be much stronger.

Personally I don't think it was a good idea to choose Grail Knight, but at least it's not absolutely absurd in my eyes.

Depend, do you consider Womens becoming GK not normal too ? Because there was one that drank from Goblet (Not Lyonesse, she was a Palladin but not a GK) which make her a "GK" for the Lady but not necesseraly for the Bretonnian Nobility

Sienna could/should have her career centred around Spells, like a Melee only/centric Sienna with Embodiment of Aqshy as active

According to last Lhoner's diary entries Sienna could quite become an elementalist hedge wizard, not the warlock I was hoping for but still open to some more corrupting mechanic than the grim curse.

Well, going by another post more recently? They might be living in a keep filled with influence of the Chaos Gods. And "it might affect others more than we think", according to Lohner.

So, perhaps Salty will be a bit more corrupted? Or the Elf? Who knows.
