Haha, this campaign will be comprised of more powerful classes than normal, I have two home brewed classes that are tailored for this setting I have made, Wyrm Slayers, and Blade Master.
Wyrm Slayers are rare if at all real, so I will only allow a maximum of 2 Wyrm Slayers to be in the campaign, however, I may or may not allow the use of "Truntaley" which is elven for 'imposter' they are 'fake' Wyrm Slayers, they gain access to Wyrm Slayer magic not through training, but through a dangerous ceremony that binds the Wyrm Slayer magic within you.
The other Home Brewed Class is Blade Master, a Warrior that is a specialist in Slashing Weapons, and deals massive damage with thier "Chosen Blade" and can perform interesting feats of skill with said blade, this I have yet to copy over onto Word, but, Wyrm Slayer is, well, minus the Wyrm Powers, which I will do later.
