-Class Information

[Lineaux]

Welcome to The World, Revision 5. Here you will decide which Class you will become inside The World.

You may choose one class for your character, and depending on your character's class you gain access to various abilities and affinities that will define the way your character finds purpose within a party, and combat in general.

you will find the information you need to monitor your own level-by-level growth as a Player.

The Statistics information is to help with identifying your class among the other classes of The World. We do not have you keep track of your exact stat scores, but because of that, we expect you to understand the limitations and the strengths of your classes.

The HP and SP Growth information helps tells you how much HP and SP your class gains per level. HP and SP are the only figures that we require you to keep track of. For more information on HP and SP, visit the HP and SP thread in the Player Handbook.

The Skills Information will tell you your classes specifics for when you gain new spells. You will need to read the Skills Thread to fully understand this information.

Any Questions can be directed to my by way of Flashmail. Good luck and happy Playing!
