Eight bit fun. 

Nonsensical translations, glitches, and gamebreakers galore!

Just watch out for the traps. 8bittia has them in the weirdest places.

== Class-specific variants and fluff ==

=== Wizards and Witches ===

In 8-bittia, male Wizards are called Wizards and female Wizards are called Witches. This also applies for the Witch class, but not other spellcasting classes. (For a while, people tried that, but the King of 8-bittia declared that only the Wizard and Witch classes use the names Wizard and Witch, so that people looking for a Wizard who blows shit up don't get a Wizard who specializes in mindfuckery.)
Wizards (males of the Wizard or Witch class) have their faces cloaked in shadow (most of the time), and yellow-glowing eyes. They gain Darkvision and low-light vision; if they would already have either, either add 60 feet to the Darkvision range or bump them to superior low-light vision, as appropriate.

Witches (females of the Wizard or Witch class) have oddly skimpy dresses, a cat as a familiar and spellbook (with unlimited pages), and a flying broom (as a ''broom of flying'', except no daily time limit).
