	A class defines a major part of how your character solves problems. Whenever you [[Quick Start Guide\|create a character]] in ''Legend'', you start by selecting a character class. Your class grants a collection of three ability tracks, plus a "schedule" of when you gain the abilities for each. Unless you [[multiclass]], you progress the three tracks of your character class throughout your adventuring career. A class is not a job – a [[barbarian]] and [[paladin]] might both make a living as a knight, a trader, or a sushi chef.		A class defines a major part of how your character solves problems.

	To multiclass, simply choose to multiclass at character generation. You can substitute one track in this way, with no associated costs. This substitution represents characters who begin their careers as multiclassed ~~“hybrid”~~ characters, and therefore can only be done at 1st level (or, if the game begins at a higher level, at character generation). You may not multiclass into a [[racial track]].		To multiclass, simply choose to multiclass at character generation. You can substitute one track in this way, with no associated costs.

	Tracks do not have an innate progression – progression speed is always determined by the [[multiclassing]] choices of the individual character. For example, while the [[Path of War]] track is normally in a Medium progression for [[barbarian]]s, a multiclass character that trades away a Slow progression track for Path of War would advance Path of War circles in accordance with the Slow progression.

	When you gain a new track via multiclassing, you pick one of your ~~class’s~~ tracks and give up that track.

Some tracks are part of the same overall track, and therefore you cannot have more than one of them for any reason. For example, the three options for the [[rogue]]’s [[Rogue#Rogue Offensive Track\|Offensive Track]] are mutually exclusive, as with the [[rogue]]’s [[Rogue#Rogue Defensive Track\|Defensive Track]] options, the [[ranger]]’s [[Ranger#Daggers and Bolts\|Daggers and Bolts]] options, the [[sage]]’s [[Sage#Sage's Wrath\| Wrath]] options, and the [[barbarian]]’s [[Barbarian#Path of War\|Path of War]] options.

	The classes in this system progress on a set of ability tracks. Each track generally grants an ability every three [[level]]s.

These tracks are designed to be roughly balanced in terms of power, compared to other tracks, and form the core of the ''Legend'' multiclassing system. Each class progresses 3 tracks as the set of class features that they provide to a character.

	Tracks provide 7 abilities over a ~~character’s~~ progression. We classify these abilities by their ~~“circle”~~ – the point in the track at which the ability becomes available. So all abilities, whether they are [[extraordinary]], [[supernatural]], [[Spell-like abilities\|spell-like]], or [[spell]] abilities, have a ~~“circle”~~ (from first to seventh). This is particularly critical for spells and spell-like abilities, since their circle determines how easily they can be [[dispelled]].		Tracks provide 7 abilities over a character's progression.

	There are several classes in this system – [[barbarian]], [[paladin]], [[sage]], [[shaman]], [[ranger]] and [[rogue]] – that have numbers for track progression but do not have specific tracks named. This is because each class has multiple tracks available, for purposes of increased customization. This does not represent an increase in overall power, because track choices are permanent; it simply represents an increase in variety.
