[edit] Warrior
The warrior uses the clan's main weapon, and specializes in melee combat. Some of the advantages of being a warrior are the ability to inflict massive melee damage and the ability to withstand melee damage. Two of their main weaknesses however, are the inability to withstand Chi Kung damage, and the inability to heal.
The warrior's penalty stat is Essence, taking 2 chi points to gain one essence point.

The strategist, more commonly know as the healer, uses the clan's secondary weapon and specializes in support. The healer has buffs that can boost all stats by a maximum of +31 (at cheng 12) as well as heal wounds and HP and VE. They are often considered the best role for PvE use, as they can heal themselves and sustain heavy damage. They are also found to be the weakest role for PvP use.
The strategist's penalty stat is Constitution, taking 2 Chi Points to gain one Constitution.

[edit] Chi Kung Artist (Nuker)

They tend to be rather fragile due to having low defense, but they have shields that can absorb nearly 4000 damage. They are considered to be the best class for PvP because they can inflict massive damage from a distance.
The artist's penalty stat is Strength, taking 2 chi points to gain one strength point.

[edit] Holist (Hybrid)
The Hybrid uses the clan's secondary weapon, and does not specialize at any one aspect. They are well rounded, and can be adapted for melee and Chi Kung warfare, and they have the ability to buff and heal. They are very well suited for PvE due to their heal skills, but can also be quite deadly in PvP due to the "paranuke", a skill that may paralyze their opponent and inflict bleed status.
The hybrid's penalty stat is Wisdom, taking 2 chi points to gain one wisdom point.

[edit] Vagabond
Although the vagabond is defined by the lack of a role, it is often considered to be the fifth class in 9Dragons.
A vagabond is someone who does not join a clan, and as a result, does not learn any advanced techniques. The only techniques a vagabond may know are the basic attacks (learned from the martial arts teacher in the clan bases), as well as the basic Wu Tang and Heavenly Demon attacks and Lightfoot (learned from quests), and the basic meditation. Because vagabonds have no advanced abilities, it is very hard to raise a vagabond to a high level, but the people who manage to do so are often applauded.
A vagabond has no penalty stat.
