CLASS SYSTEM
Everyone will start as one of these BUT they can at any time change their class.

Note: it is advised that a High Mage should not become a Warrior because he would start with nearly no combat skill other then what he started with. This will Prohibit Power-Gaming or the abuse of the classes. But will leave the character free to change his mind or Role-play a specific situation.

Note: The choice to go back to the starting Area to change your class will be possible but it will in effect make you a newbie of said class.
