Class

A character's Class defines the basic Skills of a character - what armor the character can wear, what weapons and tools it can use, what Logos Abilities it has access to, 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, all characters in Tabula Rasa start as the same Class ("Recruit") and evolve through a tree of Classes. At every Tier, a major waypoint in the character's career, the player may chose between two more specialised career options:

Tier	Level	Class
1	1	Recruit
2	5	Soldier				Specialist
3	15	Commando		Ranger		Sapper		Biotechnician
4	30	Grenadier	Guardian	Sniper	Spy	Demolitionist	Engineer	Medic	Exobiologist

Every Class is able to utilize the Abilities and Trainings of all its root Classes, e.g. a Grenadier may also use the equipment of a Commando, Soldier and Recruit.
