Class (TR)

A Character Class defines the basic skills and abilities of a character, what armor the character can wear, what weapons and tools it can use, etc.

Class tree
Unlike most other, traditional MMORPGs, Tabula Rasa does not force the player to pick a class when a new character is being created, which the character will keep for the rest of his "life". Instead, characters in TR evolve through a tree of classes. Twice in the character's career (first at level 6, then again at level ) the player may chose between two character class evolutions.

Saving, loading and cloning
For additional flexibility, and in order to allow the player to test the different classes freely, the game allows the player to save and clone his character at any point in its career. This means a player can save his character before he choses a class, try that class, and if he doesn't like it, he can load his saved character and pick the other class without having to start the character from scratch (only the time since the character was saved will be "lost"). Also, the player may clone the character and explore both classes, splitting his playtime.
