Role in the Realm
Siege Engineers are specialists in the design, construction and operation of large-scale medieval war machinery.
While Builders are responsible for settlements, structures, walls and fortifications, Siege Engineers focus specifically on the equipment used to attack or overcome those defences.
Siege Engineers may work alongside factions during wars, prepare siege equipment before an assault and maintain specialised machinery used during large-scale conflicts.
Siege Engineers may focus on:
- Ballistae
- Catapults
- Defensive siege weapons
- Ammunition for siege engines
- Maintaining and repairing siege equipment
- Preparing siege positions
- Assisting factions during organised wars
- Primitive black-powder or alchemical siege devices where specifically approved by the server
Builder = constructs the fortress.
Blacksmith = produces weapons and metal components.
Siege Engineer = constructs and operates the machinery designed to knock out unique creatures or defend.
Siege Engineers should not automatically gain unrestricted access to explosives or advanced technology. Any explosive devices must remain compatible with Aldoria's medieval fantasy setting and must follow server-approved recipes, mods and progression.
Modern firearms, rockets, C4 and technological siege equipment do not belong to this hobby.
Choosing a Hobby
A character may choose one Main Profession and one Hobby. Hobbies provide additional roleplay and character flavour and do not share the same progression benefits as Main Professions unless specifically stated.
