Royalty is a class in Demon's Souls.
Description[]
"A person of royal descent who has officially learned spells. They use the spell "Soul Arrow." Their Soul level is the worst and begins at 1, but they are the only class that begins equipped with a rare ring."
Overview[]
Royalty are a powerful starting class, possessing a melee weapon and the Soul Arrow spell, the Fragrant Ring, which slowly restores MP, and the Silver Catalyst and Coronet. This nigh-infinite source of MP allows one to attack with impunity from long range. The downside is that their starting Vitality is extremely low, and they can be killed rather easily if they engage at close range. Most players will want to drastically increase it as soon as they can, both for survivability and carrying capacity.
While often recommended as "the best" initial class, starting as a physical class makes it easier to learn the game's combat mechanics, making Royalty better-suited for returning players.
As with the Magician class, obtaining the Crescent Falchion in Shrine of Storms will bolster their melee damage greatly.
