Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you forge your legend.

Is Lourdin RPG free to play?

Yes — completely free to start. Five classes are permanently free: Warrior, Wizard, Ranger, Rogue, and Cleric. Premium classes (Paladin, Bard, Monk, Barbarian, Pirate) offer additional playstyles for those who want more options, but the core game is fully playable without spending anything.

Do I need to download or install anything?

Nothing at all. Lourdin RPG runs entirely in your web browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, mobile — with no plugins, no downloads, and no installation required. Create an account and you're playing within seconds.

How does turn-based combat work?

Combat uses a transparent D&D 5e-inspired dice system. Each round starts with an initiative roll (1d20 + DEX) that sets the turn order. On your turn, choose an action: Attack (1d20 + bonus vs. enemy AC), Cast a Spell (some require saving throws), Use an Item, or trigger a Class Feature. Every roll is shown in the combat log — no hidden mechanics. Read the full Combat Guide for a deep dive.

Can I play Lourdin RPG with friends?

Yes! Real-time multiplayer is built in via SignalR. Create or join a party, choose a difficulty, and tackle encounters together with shared XP and loot. Class synergies shine in party play — Bard buffs stack with Warrior's Battle Cry, Clerics keep everyone alive, and Wizards melt groups with AoE spells.

What is the maximum character level?

Characters progress from Level 1 to Level 20, following the D&D 5e XP table. You unlock new class abilities at milestone levels and receive stat boosts at levels 4, 8, 12, and 16. At level 20 you're a fully realized legend — but the journey to get there is the adventure.

What makes Lourdin different from other browser RPGs?

Three things set Lourdin apart: (1) Transparent dice mechanics — every roll is shown, nothing is hidden. (2) Tactical zone system — a three-zone battlefield (Vanguard, Midfield, Rear Guard) where positioning matters as much as stats. (3) Monster archetypes — enemies have behaviors (Brute, Caster, Skirmisher, Tank, Support) that require different strategies, not just higher numbers.

Is Lourdin RPG still in Alpha?

Yes — Lourdin is currently in Alpha, which means you can play the full game right now while new content, classes, and features are actively being added. Alpha feedback directly shapes the game, and all characters created during Alpha will carry forward. Create a free account and be part of shaping Lourdin's future.
