Otherworldly Roles
by Daragetsu
Otherworldly Roles gives each player a role with its own set of powers, activated with items the player crafts after reaching iron ingots.
What it does
Servers that run the mod assign roles to players, either at random through the assignRoles command or by changing them with ChangeRoles. Roles such as Monarch, Archer, Alchemist, Human, Sorcerer and Knight each carry their own powers. Without a role, a regular human has little ability to use these powers, so the role system is what makes them usable.
Each power is activated through an item the player owns, and the item recipes become available once the player obtains iron ingots. Powers include area effects such as AOE Freeze, AOE Poison, AOE Heal for the team and Molten Iron, along with Arrow Barrage, Snipe, Rapid Fire, Fire Ball, Flood, Raise Dead, Cosmic Swing, Vertical Slash and Enhanced Strength. The AppraiseMe command shows a player's own stats, and some roles require a specific condition before they can be changed.
The mod runs on Forge for game versions 1.21.1 – 1.21.11. It needs both the server and every player to have it installed. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Role assignment
Roles are given at random or chosen by a command, and players can be reassigned when they meet a specific requirement.
Role powers
Each role sets a group of powers, from area attacks and healing to summons, knight-style strikes and ranged shots.
Item-activated powers
Powers fire from an item the player holds, and those items are crafted once iron ingots are obtained.
Single-player support
The assignment commands also work on a single-player world, not only on servers.

What the author says
This is made for Servers but you can play on single player too, just get run the command "/assignRoles" and it will assign random role and stats to all the players(who doesn't already have a role assigned) on the server, use the command "/AppraiseMe" to see your own stat and use the command "/ChangeRoles" to change…
