Classes
Classes define your character's area of expertise, and to a certain degree their role in any given group. They may be a fighter, a healer, a support character, a summoner, a tank, a stealth specialist, and so on. Each class possesses certain stat requirements and grants certain bonuses to roll based on their specialty. They also have skill trees that allow you to build your character in unique ways. A character may be the same class as another, but they will have different strengths and weaknesses based on the skill path they choose.
A character's class is chosen at character creation. A character may change their class, but this comes at a penalty of two levels and a loss of any skill points, items or enhancements restricted by level.
All characters also have access to the GENERAL SKILL TREE beyond the skill tree for their class.
