Ravenborne is a high-fantasy RPG expansion built around class identity, progression depth, and environmental storytelling. The mod introduces a structured class system where players commit to a combat philosophy rather than simply equipping different gear.

At its core are four primary classes:

Wizard – A master of arcane manipulation. Wizards channel elemental forces, ritual magic, and forbidden knowledge. Their exclusive staves, spell foci, and relic tomes amplify mana flow, enabling ranged burst damage, area denial, and battlefield control. Their progression tree emphasizes spell synergy, cooldown optimization, and mana efficiency scaling.
Paladin – A divine frontline defender. Paladins wield sanctified blades and radiant hammers bound to oath mechanics. Their kit revolves around mitigation, healing pulses, protective auras, and smite-based burst windows. Gear progression enhances durability scaling, aura radius, and holy damage amplification.
Ranger – A precision-based hunter and mobility specialist. Rangers utilize custom bows, crossbows, and trap mechanisms exclusive to the class. Their combat loop rewards positioning, critical timing, and sustained DPS through marked targets, poison stacking, and environmental interaction.
Berserker – A high-risk melee aggressor. Berserkers gain power through rage accumulation, sacrificing defense for explosive close-range damage. Their unique axes and chained weapons scale with missing health, combo chains, and momentum-based combat mechanics.

The Ancient Biome

A central feature of the mod is the Ancient Elriche Plateu Biome — a rare, lore-driven region tied to forgotten civilizations and primal forces. This biome contains:

Procedurally integrated ruins and ritual sites
Elite biome-exclusive mobs with advanced AI behaviors
Class-specific customisable raven/crow companion

Environmental design emphasizes verticality, mist layers, ambient particle systems, and dynamic lighting to create a sense of mythic isolation. Progression into the biome is semi-gated, encouraging preparation and build optimization.

Progression & Systems

The mod integrates:

Class-bound weapon restrictions
Tiered gear evolution paths
Relic augmentation systems
Passive skill branching
PvE-oriented scaling encounters

Combat is designed around identity commitment. Switching classes is costly, reinforcing specialization and build planning.

Overall, Ravenborne is not just a content expansion—it is a structured RPG layer that transforms survival gameplay into a class-driven, lore-rich combat experience built on risk, reward, and mastery.
