Each class represents a different calling, and each offers a number of unique abilities, powers, and skills that influence how that character interacts with the world. Classes determine most of a character's abilities - both in and out of combat. As a character advances in levels in a class they will gain incredible new powers and abilities. | ||

All characters start at level 1, and level up when they receive enough experience. Leveling up allows a character to take another level in a class, eventually to choose a subclass, and optionally to multiclass. After reaching level 12, no further levels are gained, so no other class-related choices are possible. | |||
Using [[Withers]]' services, the player can change the class of a character, setting them back to level 1 and allowing them to change their class(es) and subclass(es). | |||

A character's choice of class is not permanent. When gaining a new level, a character can choose to continue advancing in level in a class they already have levels in, or they can choose to gain a level in an entirely new class. This is called ''multiclassing''. Doing so will grant most of the benefits of advancing in level in that additional class, with some limitations. | A character's choice of class is not permanent.
