Character class

A character class is an occupation, profession, or role assigned to a game character in tabletop and video games. In role-playing games, classes group abilities and aptitudes and can cover background, social standing, or behavior restrictions. They are often divided into levels of accomplishment. In shooter and cooperative video games, classes commonly define distinct roles, equipment, tactical skills, and mission goals, such as sharpshooters, heavy weapon specialists, or medics.
