A character class represents a character's archetype and career in some role-playing games. Class is different from both occupation and race. For example, in Dungeons & Dragons, a character's class might be Rogue or Thief, but his occupation could be a burglar, scout, treasure hunter, pirate, adventurer, or any number of other livelihoods based on the class's specific skills and abilities. In many games by Palladium Books, characters have an Occupational Character Class (O.C.C.) and a Racial Character Class (R.C.C.), and may even have a Psychic Character Class (P.C.C.) Thus, class is a character attribute that decides their general abilities and capabilities. Japanese console role-playing games take a simpler approach and often translate "class" as shokugyou (職業), i.e. occupation/job; this is likely due to a mistranslation of "class," but some games instead use a transliteration of "class" instead (クラス). A character class represents a characters archetype and career in some role-playing games (RPGs). ...

Some races may have a preferred class; for example, gnomes in Dungeons & Dragons will often end up as an illusionist. In the original (pre-Advanced) Dungeons & Dragons, non-human characters' race was their class; in later versions of the game, demi-humans and other non-human characters were treated just like humans in that their race and their class were separate. In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, gnomes are a humanoid race, and are one of the core races available for play as player characters. ...

Rifts

Character classes in Rifts, and other games by Palladium Books, are often split between two types: Racial Character Classes (R.C.C.), which is the character's species, and Occupational Character Class (O.C.C.), which is the traditional character class or occupation. Some R.C.C.s are a character class in and of themselves, while others can have a separate O.C.C. as well. Human characters usually only need to choose an O.C.C. Some Palladium games have a third Psychic Character Class (P.C.C.), denoting otherwise human characters with psychic powers. In Rifts, these are considered an R.C.C., signifying that the character has spent their life training in the use of their abilities, rather than learning another more specialized trade, such as soldier or robot pilot. Palladium Books (sometimes erroneously called Palladium Games) is a role-playing game publisher founded by Kevin Siembieda and Erick Wujcik, best known for their popular, genre-crossing Rifts gaming series (1990-present). ...

Deadlands

Deadlands is something of a hybrid system. The basic character generation process is a classless, skills-based system. Whether a character is a gunfighter or a thief depends on which skills the player picks and emphasizes. However, characters can also pick Arcane Backgrounds for their character, which introduces a class-like concept into the game, and generally provides the character powers and abilities not available to non-arcane characters.

Deadlands: The Weird West

• Black Magician: An NPC-only Arcane Background, Black Magicians willingly and deliberately make deals with the Reckoners and their Manitou minions for potent spells.
• Blessed: The Blessed are religious beings whose sheer faith allows them to draw pure spiritual energy from the Hunting Grounds to create miraculous effects. Blessed cast their spells using the Faith Aptitude, which several other Arcane Backgrounds (such as Black Magic, Voodoo and Doomsayers) also do. Blessed are detailed in the Fire and Brimstone Sourcebook, while their close relatives, the Voodooists, are introduced in The River o' Blood and expanded in Hexarcana.
• Blood Magician: Blood Magicians carry the blood of the Whateley family in thier viens; an ancient line of corrupted and evil practicioners of sorcery. These characters are usually considered "grey hats" at best, and are the darkest character choice currently available in the game. Blood magic used by characters with this arcane background resemble black magic in theme and in mechanics, although blood magic is less powerful. Rules can be found in the supplement Black Circle: Unholy Alliance.
• Harrowed: A Harrowed character has risen from the grave due to their body being possessed by a Manitou. As an undead, a Harrowed has a variety of special powers, but these are balanced by supernatural drawbacks, such as the fact the Harrowed constantly needs to battle their Manitou 'inmate' for control of their body. Because of the presence of the Manitou within their bodies, Harrowed can absorb the life energies of certain abominations to gain mystical powers, such as Soul Eater and Sicken. The process of absorbing this energy is called "Counting Coup". Harrowed are detailed in The Book o' the Dead Sourcebook. Their Hell on Earth counterparts, the Cyborgs, are detailed in the Cyborgs Sourcebook.
• Hexslinger: A more militant version of the Huckster, a Hexslinger uses his or her magic to improve his gunslinging abilities, hence the name. First introduced in the Law Dogs sourcebook and finalised in the Lone Stars: The Texas Rangers Sourcebook, by which stage they have been renamed Shootists.
• Huckster: Roughly equivalent to the common Mage or Wizard. Due to the nature of their world, Hucksters pretend to be cardsharks, professional gamblers or any other type of person for whom constantly carrying around a deck of playing cards is not abnormal. When a Huckster casts a spell, a hand of playing cards manifests itself in his hand and vanishes after the spell is finished.
• Martial Artist: Martial Artists are introduced in The Great Maze, and refined in the Hexarcana Sourcebook.
• Mad Scientist: Unlike the other Arcanes in the Weird West, the Mad Scientist Edge is passive in nature. A Mad Scientist has the dubious honor of having attracted the not-so malevolent attention of one or more Manitou, who whisper dark secrets into the mind of their witless ally and provide inspiration for all manner of mystical machinery. Most of the steampunk technology in Deadlands has its origin in the fevered mind of a Mad Scientist, but the magical energies channeled by the creator during the building of the invention generally make mass production impossible. A variety of Mad Scientists, such as Dr. Hellstromme, have achieved this, which has lead to the wide-spread of Ghost Rock Boilers, Steam Tarantulas, Clockwork Automatons and several of the more exotic (read dangerous) weapons floating around the Weird West. In Deadlands: HoE, it was Mad Scientist Dr. Hellstromme who created the Ghost Rock Bomb which led to earth's current apocalyptic state.
• Shaman: Shamans are detailed in the Ghost Warriors Sourcebook.

Caucasian, male, aging, crooked teeth, messy hair, lab coat, spectacles/goggles, dramatic posing — one popular stereotype of a mad scientist. ... Manitou may refer to: Manitou, Oklahoma Manitou, Manitoba Manitou River (Ontario) Manitou, New York train station Manitou, the German-style board game Gitche Manitou, the Great Spirit among Native American and First Nations cultures. ... A rocket lands on the moon in Le Voyage dans la Lune, the film adaptation of Jules Vernes From the Earth to the Moon. ... Caucasian, male, aging, crooked teeth, messy hair, lab coat, spectacles/goggles, dramatic posing — one popular stereotype of a mad scientist. ...

Deadlands: Hell on Earth

• Anti-Templar: Anti-Templars have defected from the Templars due to clashing views. Anti-Templars refuse to test worth, and instead help whoever they choose. Anti-Templars have some of the powers that Templars do, but they have a few tricks of their own. Anti-Templars are detailed in the Last Crusaders Sourcebook
• Cyborgs: It just wouldn't be Deadlands without something really strange. Scientists couldn't get Human Cyborgs to take, so they began making Cyborgs from Harrowed. While most Cyborgs do not have the same kinds of powers as Harrowed, some (usually those who were Harrowed before the Cyborg conversion) do have access to those powers. Cyborgs are detailed in the Cyborgs Sourcebook
• Doomsayers are an evolution of Blessed, being magically gifted people who draw their power by worshipping radiation. With some very devastating powers, Doomsayers are one of the more potent, and disliked, arcane backgrounds. Doomsayers are divided into two groups: the Cult of Doom (who wear green robes and preach that mutants are the next step in evolution, and that all humans need to be killed) and the Schismatics (who wear purple robes, and while having the views on mutation as the Cult, choose not to speed up evolution). Doomsayers are detailed in the Children o' the Atom Sourcebook.
• Junker: The Hell on Earth evolution of the original Mad Scientists (or, to be more accurate Metal Mages- characters with both the Mad Scientist and the Huckster Arcane Backgrounds), Junkers scavenge for debris, and use shamanistic rituals to construct amazing devices. These devices are held together and powered by "Tech Spirits" (spirits that once inhabited normal objects). Junkers are detailed in The Junkman Cometh Sourcebook
• Martial Artist: Martial Artists are very similar to those from the Weird West. Martial Artists are detailed in the Waste Warriors Sourcebook
• Syker: A Syker (almost always) was trained by military training facilities, and has developed powerful psychic abilities. Most Sykers saw action on Banshee (the location for Deadlands: Lost Colony)during the Last War. However, many were stationed on Earth, and developed differently than the Sykers on Banshee. Since the Last War, a small number of people have developed "wild" power, and are very similar to Sykers, only weaker. Sykers are detailed in the Brainburners Sourcebook.
• Templar: The Templars were formed to help those in need. However, because the founder of the Templars felt that people still needed to be able to help themselves, he decreed that each Templar must only help those that (s)he deems worthy. The Templars get magical powers from "Saints", great people from the past who lend the Templars their strength. Templars are detailed in the Last Crusaders Sourcbook.
• Toxic Shaman: When the Ghost Rock Bombs were dropped, and the world transformed into a toxic wasteland, many of the nature spirits were affected by the mystical corruption. As a result, spirits of pollution and insects suited for this toxic world gained greater power and the spirits of pure nature were severely weakened. Toxic Shamans channel the mystical energies of these "Toxic Spirits" in the same way their predecessors -the Shamans- channeled the power of the nature spirits. Toxic Shamans are detailed in the Spirit Warriors Sourcebook.
• Witch: Witches are similar to Hucksters in practice. Witches use an old cookbook (titles "How to Serve your Man") with encrypted spells in it. Witches don't learn their spells, and are a minor arcane character in Deadlands. Witches are detailed in the Wasted West: The Hell on Earth Sourcebook.

Some arcanes from the Weird West still exist in Hell on Earth, and include: Indian Shamans, Hucksters, VooDooists, and sometimes Blesseds, and are detailed in their respective Weird West Sourcebooks. Deadlands: Lost Colony is a supplement for Deadlands: Hell on Earth, which adds a space-faring element to the popular alternate history RPG. Lost Colony is set on the world of Banshee, recently colonised by humans before the War to End All Wars, when earth was devastated by Ghost Rock... Specifically, Shaman (saman) is a term in Evenk, Manchu and other Manchu-Tungus languages for an intellectual and spiritual figure; who usually possess power and influence on other peoples in the tribe and performs several functions, one of which is analogous to the function of a healer in other cultures. ...

Quest for Glory

• Fighter: This class starts with the stats Strength, Vitality, Weapon Use and Parry boosted up, he's the only one to start the games already with a broadsword and a shield. (The other classes except Paladin could only get swords and shields on the fifth game in the series)
• Magic User: This class starts with the stats Intelligence and Magic boosted up, he's the only one to start the games already with the spell Zap. (The other classes except Wizard only could get the spell when they exported their character)
• Thief: This class starts with almost all stats except Magic and Parry. He's the only one to start with a lockpick, this is the best class to make a jack of all trades.
• Paladin: The hero on Quest for Glory can upgrade to Paladin if he does a lot of good deeds and no bad deeds on the second and third game. (The Thief can convert to Paladin too, but it's extremely hard) This class can use Paladin magic.
• Wizard: If a character does the W.I.T test correctly on the second game of the series, he can become a Wizard. This basically gets you a lot more Mana Points (MP) than any other class on the game. Besides that, it's not much different than a Magic User.

The term broadsword is used to refer to different types of swords, depending on when the term is used, and on what period is being talked about. ... A shield is a protective device, meant to intercept attacks. ... A person that specializes in many different skills. ...

Gravity has also announced plans to include two new character classes, Gunslinger and Ninja; the details of the job advancement of these classes are uncertain at the moment. Certain private servers, however, do have them. The Gunslinger is most like a hybrid between the Hunter and the Monk class (in that he has both skills for ranging and powering up), while the Ninja could follow three different paths: Magic (making him resemble a Wizard), Throwing (making him resemble a Hunter) or Stealth (making him resemble a Rogue).
