Classes in Hirelings

I wanted to write a little update about all the classes in Hirelings, how do they work in general, and what each one does.

There are going to be 20 different classes in the game. Every character comes with 2 different ones (just like in auto-battler genre), and by having multiple of the same class in your party, that class becomes stronger.

1) Sentinel := these guys are biggest player characters and they take up 4 tiles. The purpose of sentinels is to tank damage so they all start with a taunt ability. Their class effect is that whichever sentinel activates the taunt first gains extra HP. One tricky thing with sentinels is their size. It makes it tricky to try to level up multiple sentinels in your party, since they take a lot of space in the shop.
