A character's class is a specialized role chosen for them at character creation. Each class has unique stats, equipment, items, and abilities. These alternate ways of starting drastically change your beginning game experience.
The final configuration of your character, however, is rarely influenced by your choice. Your stats can eventually be molded in a way that suits your preferred playstyle, regardless of class choice.
