Herofest LARP - Classes and Skills
Larp/lrp Character Class

We have changed some of the Classes and Skills on our last event. Anyone who wishes to alter their character because of these changes should email a completed Existing Player Booking form », showing their new Skills / Class to paul@herofest.co.uk »
