The Guilds of Discworld

Warrior's Guild

The most common newbie guild, the Warrior's Guild is for those who want to bash small creatures into little bits, and then bash the little bits into bits that are smaller yet. Easy to play, a Warrior's life is about the joy of killing, and consists mainly of typing "kill (unlucky object)"

Assassin's Guild

I like this guild, because it's an interesting compromise between the Warriors and the Thieves. They use a good deal of stealth and the covert tree, but also have a degree of skill in fighting, namely dagger and dodge. However, they make their living killing PKs, so they may find the PK life less than joyful. You automatically become a playerkiller upon graduation as an assassin.

Witches' Guild

Wotcher dearies! Lawks! The Witches' Guild is for those who are a little... different. They specialize in things like brewing vital tea, flying around on brooms, and being generally enigmatic. They specialize at the magic skill tree and are generally weak in combat. However, this is not true of a witch with ARGBEES! Your character must be female to be a witch.

Thieves' Guild

The Thieves' Guild, like it sounds, is a guild for people who enjoy relieving others of their possessions. Popular among newbies, this guild often gets deserted because of their lack of a defensive fighting primary. However, some of the most formidable PKs belong to the Thieves' Guild. I have some issues with Thieves, because of the general idea of PK thieves (They gain at your benefit), and the double standards of their "Enforcer" team. However, many PK thieves I have met are pleasant people who rarely pinch your goods, so perhaps I'm being a bit harsh.

Wizard's Guild

My personal favourite. Very difficult at low levels, but fun (For me, anyway. No guarantees about your personal enjoyment). A wizard will rarely be the equal of a warrior in combat, but the fun and lighthearted magic of the Discworld makes wizardry a fun and rewarding career.

Priest's Guild

The guild for people who enjoy stabbing helpless animals with ornately carved knives. Priests are popular on Discworld, due to their ability to travel quickly and heal poor players, even restoring them to life. Priests are always valued when grouping- they allow a group to operate much more efficiently than they could otherwise.
