Somehow you manage to avoid the numerous tables, chairs stool, tankards, silverware and other on jets as you crash land into a single chair seated at a table. The world around you darkens and before you can stand, you see three objects come into existence on the table before you, a war hammer a sword and a spell book.

Well, you did figure this was a fantasy RPG, of some kind so choosing a character class was all par for the course. Still, this means you most likely can be more then just a normal person in this nightmare, maybe even become a bad ass hero. So: Time to choose.
