Classes

Classes are what define the roles that people take. They are fairly straight forward, and operate much in the same way that other RPGs work. While you are initially locked to your class, you are able to specialize further after reaching level five. Once at level five, you are able to choose your own progression: Multiclassing or Advanced Classes. The individual types of classes will be elaborated in the PDF under these categories.

Multiclassing
Multiclassing works very much like other systems. You are allowed to take an extra class, at the cost of advanced progression. You are able to take up to three different classes, including your starter class. When choosing an additional class, you do not simply write it down on your sheet and immediately gain the advantages. You must declare that your character is off learning his new craft from an established teacher. Whether this is done via in-game, or between sessions is up to the GM.

Advanced Classes
Advanced Classes are fairly straightforward. They are classes that elaborate further on your starting class. They are more powerful versions of what you started with, and double the capacity of skills available to you. Like with multiclassing, you must declare your character is off learning his new craft from an established teacher. Done via in-game or between sessions. If there is no established teacher, you must find one.

Career Paths
Career Paths are prestige classes that allow you access to all relevant skills in the game. They also unlock the ability to obtain specialized technological equipment. This does not mean that you cannot get it sooner, just that you would not know how to operate it properly. This is meant to represent your time spent in the world and your familiarity with advanced technology. Career Paths also allow you to survive beyond the great blue ocean in the new world. They unlock certain talents and skills that allow you to survive the harsh conditions of traveling and staying in a completely isolated and undiscovered land. They also allow for you to achieve Extraordinary Feats, which can have serious world altering effects.
