When a character reaches a certain level in a class they must select a subclass. The level that this choice is made at varies from class to class. | When a character reaches a certain level in a class they must select a subclass.

Subclasses allow characters to further specialize their character by imparting powerful new abilities focused around enhancing the central theme of the subclass. Choosing a subclass does not cause a character to stop gaining the normal benefits of a class when advancing in level - the benefits of a subclass are on top of the normal class abilities. | Subclasses allow characters to further specialize their character by imparting powerful new abilities focused around enhancing the central theme of the subclass.

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.
