Character Class

Contrary to old texts, Character Classes are not professions and they do not indicate pursuits and curiosities that excite the attention of character. These are activities and diversions that arise once characters begin to make their way in the world. A character class comes as a result of systematic education and training, designed to produce adaptable skills that can be applied to professions and interests.

Training for a given class most commonly begins at age 9 or 10. The child must show aptitude for the class, but as they are not fully developed there is no expectation that the child will meet the minimum ability stats. Most parents do not have the means to have their children receive this training; those in wealthy and important professions can manage it nicely, but the only alternative for many is to opt for an apprenticeship.
