¶ Description
Every player in Fabled Roots follows one of 10 classes. The class is chosen right after the race and represents what kind of adventurer you are. Each class has a small perk and earns bonus experience for doing what it enjoys, so players are rewarded for leaning into their playstyle. When choosing a class, players also receive a set of starter equipment that fits it.
The class can be changed later with Reset Roots in the Player Menu.
¶ Bonus Experience
Each class has activities that earn bonus experience. When you perform one of these activities, you have a chance to gain between 1 and 5 experience points on top of the vanilla experience. The chance is checked once per second, so the bonus is meant as a steady trickle rather than a large reward.
¶ Starter Equipment
Choosing a class gives you a random selection of starter equipment for that class. By default, the starter equipment is only given once per player, so resetting your roots and picking a new class does not give new equipment. Admins can change this on the Administration page.
The starter equipment of each class is listed below its description. A class receives one item from every pool of its table.
