7.3 How does choosing classes work?

First, it's important to point out that Vanguard is a 'multi-sphere' game, where at any given time your character actually has two classes: one adventurer class, and one crafting class.

At character creation, the emphasis will be on choosing your name, race, and gender. This will determine where you start out in the world.

Once you are in the world, for a certain number of levels (to be determined -- not too many, but not too few), you will be able to visit guild masters and change either class in either sphere in order to get a better feeling for the way they play.

At any time during this process, or at the end, you can commit to each class in each sphere, at which time you will also commit to certain attributes. After that, there's no going back for that character.

Once a class in each sphere is chosen, it's important to note that you do not possess the capabilities of both spheres simultaneously; rather, you choose which sphere you are going to play at various locations and then are committed to that sphere until you return to such a location. More on the locations later, but they will typically be cities, villages, outposts and the like.
