Classes
Character classes are schemes that detail what a character can do, what their abilities are, and what kind of resources they have access to through their background or training.
For Runeterra, classes represent your place in the world as well as your function, you can be a combatant, an inventor, an arcane exploring the powers of magic, among a huge number of options.
A total of ten core classes are offered for Runeterra, each of which contains a few subclasses, that are archetypes attuned to the reality of this world. While you can create a Nature Acolyte in Noxus, you would hardly survive being a non-noble Arcane in Demacia.
In the process of creating characters, think about what is its role, how they got to where they are, and where their dreams come from.
A character’s class expresses a part of the way he interacts with the world, how he solves his problems and from where he draws strength to move forward.
