Character Class
In tabletop games and video games, a character class is a job or profession commonly used to differentiate the abilities of different game characters. In role-playing games (RPGs), character classes aggregate several abilities and aptitudes, and may also detail aspects of background and social standing, or impose behavior restrictions. Classes may be considered to represent archetypes, or specific careers. RPG systems that employ character classes often subdivide them into levels of accomplishment, to be attained by players during the course of the game. It is common for a character to remain in the same class for its lifetime; although some games allow characters to change class, or attain multiple classes. Some systems eschew the use of classes and levels entirely; others hybridize them with skill-based systems or emulate them with character templates. In shooter games and other cooperative video games, classes are generally distinct roles with specific purposes, weapons or ...

World Of Xeen
''Might and Magic V: Darkside of Xeen'' (originally released as ''Might and Magic: Darkside of Xeen'') is a science fantasy role-playing video game published and developed for multiple platforms by New World Computing in 1993. Based on the ''Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra'' game engine, it is the fifth game in the ''Might and Magic'' series, and is a direct sequel to ''Might and Magic IV: Clouds of Xeen'', concluding the story arc started in the original ''Might and Magic Book One: The Secret of the Inner Sanctum''. Like its predecessors, it was well received by both critics and players for its large game world and graphics, and was among the earliest games to make use of both animated cutscenes and Pulse-code modulation, PCM sound-based speech. Its unique integration mechanic with the game world of ''Clouds of Xeen'', allowing both games to be played in a combined format – ''World of Xeen'' – was considered revolutionary at the time.
