A class discussed in developer responses about party composition and aura combinations. Community testing has included parties containing multiple Voidcallers.

Character creation includes racial selection. Players have discussed Dwarf, Stoneborn, and Elk characters in the demo, including how racial choices affect starting attributes.

Every party contains four adventurers. The official game description emphasizes combining character strengths and compensating for individual weaknesses.

The developer has confirmed successfully testing a party containing two Priests and two Wizards, including encounters beyond the demo's early content.

Warriors can hold the front line, while the developer has also identified evasion-focused Thieves and Priests as potential alternatives for absorbing damage.

Spellcasters consume mana but their spells can bypass enemy armor and have guaranteed hit accuracy, according to the developer.

Melee and ranged attacks do not require mana, but enemies can evade them and armor can reduce their effectiveness.

Auras, spells, skills, and equipment properties can interact to improve overall party performance. The developer has specifically discussed the strength of aura combinations.

Underkeep uses tactical turn-based battles that allow players to consider their actions carefully. The official description emphasizes positioning, planning, stamina, and mana management.

The developer has confirmed that spells have guaranteed hit accuracy and bypass enemy armor, unlike physical attacks.

Spells have no cooldown and can be cast repeatedly while sufficient mana remains. Mana availability is therefore an important restriction on spellcasting.

Melee and ranged attacks do not consume mana. However, enemy evasion, armor, and physical damage resistance can reduce their effectiveness.

The developer has confirmed that Wizards gain spells capable of damaging multiple enemies and applying effects such as burning or freezing.

Stun and freeze effects are intentionally balanced to prevent repeated crowd-control combinations from permanently disabling enemies.
