Recommended classes for Red Prince
The Red Prince works great as:
- Fighter (his starting class), Knight, Inquisitor or Metamorph - in all of these cases, you can make a great use of his additional resistance to Poison and Fire (your mages can use these spells freely even when he is in their range); he can also use his Dragon's Blaze ability effectively because it has a short range.
- Wizard - this class gives access to abilities from Pyrokinetic and Geomancer schools which works greatly with his additional Poison and Fire resistance as well as with Dragon's Blaze ability (it deals Fire damage and can set Oil on fire that is created by using Fossil Strike).
