Designing Character Classes: The Blademaster

Beat, loot, repeat
A downloadable game

The Blademaster is a Dexterity-based class. Their skillset is based around generating and spending resource called Momentum. It is generated by using certain spells, and decays rapidly. Most non-generating offensive spells spend Momentum. It decays sligtly faster when standing still - which is more of a thematic thing idea than a mechanic at the moment. You don't have a reason to stand still too much, for now. 

A resource generator spell is a must for a class which needs resource to deal damage. It seems like a limitation in a roguelite setting. As such, there are three spells which serve as generators, out of(currently) 15 Blademaster spells.

The Blademaster has three core playstyles: High-damage spenders, Bleed effect synergy, and Multistrike effects.

The Blademaster, with all the listed Spells(and more!) is available to play right now.
