Zhifu

Immortal Freedom RPG > Non-player Entities (NPCs) > Classes

Zhifu are all about balance and the redirection of energy. They use their body as well as aura magic to subjugate their foes, while deftly dodging any attacks made against them. They flash step around their enemies, striking where they are most vulnerable. They also use aura magic to Heal allies. They focus on attacking until an ally is damaged, at which point they get within melee range to heal or cleanse—if they aren’t already within melee range.
