Editing List of Classes

This is a '''list of [[Classes]]''' in the Universe of The Wandering Inn.
== Overview ==<!--I first wanted to include the picture in the page itself, but then found that it slows the loading time considerably. So, let's have mercy with bandwith-restricted users.-->
A [[:File:Classes_diagram.png|diagram of all classes listed below can be found here]], brought into some (arbitrary) order. Classes introduced after Chapter 7.04 are not included in that graphic yet.
== List of Classes - Tables ==
These pages contain tables meant to list all known [[classes]]. Besides the name of a class (first column), it includes a link to characters known to have (had) this class (second column) and lists links to chapters where that class has been mentioned with other characters (last column).

<!--For editors: Chapters where the duties/class restrictions/etc. were mentioned, are definitely prefered to chapters that only mention the existence of a class-->The third column, "class type" makes an attempt to categorize classes into combat classes, performer classes etc. <!--Anyone can rework the types, since they are mostly not canonical, but please try to keep them all more or less consistent.

Class types that may be unclear or confusing, but that were defined this way to classify them in a consistent way:
combat: military or fighting type without being placed in command

leader: rather informal command position that combines both military and civilian leadership
 manager: civilian leadership position, or other administrative position dealing with people and/or paperwork
  politician: elected leadership position
  noble: inherited position, may involve leadership
  ruler: formal leadership position over both civilian and miliary matters
 officer: military leadership position, usually without civilian oversight
 strategist: combination of manager/leader: civilian paperwork leadership that manages military matters
creature-control: direct control over tamed creatures that don't have own will
servant: subservient position in service of a specific person, especially susceptible towards leadership classes
survival: group of classes designed for survival in the wilderness. subgroups are capable of more:
 pathfinder (=scout): class that involves tracking directions or specific things. Usually includes survival.
 hunter: class that involves killing things in (mostly ranged) combat. Usually includes pathfinder and combat, so those types are not included in the combination.
rogue: stealthy or shifty class, may cross legal borders. Involves literal/figurative hiding, maneuvring, sneaking.
criminal: class that harms others and always operates illegaly. Not necessarily rogue.
gutter: shifty class but not outright criminal or rogue; mostly tending to be dregs of society instead of high ranks

service: profession that offers a service for anyone (compare servant, who services only the employer)
 scholar: service-type class of high specialization that requires academic knowledge
  mage: scholar-type class that requires study of magic
 laborer: service-type class that requires hard work
 delivery: service-type class that involves delivery of items, messages or news in general
 merchant: service-type class that involves buying, (transport) and selling of items or services
 trainer: service-type class that involves training/teaching others

guard, performer, crafter, mage, several others: profession of what the names says-->

The fourth column deals with prerequisites of a class, for example when a class has been mentioned to be high level or race-specific. Some classes have been shown to be a form of specialization of a lower-level class, which is noted there. The remark 'basic entry' means that people may gain their first level in the class just by fulfilling their role in that occupation - like living in an inn and sweeping it. 

Keep in mind that the class system has always been shown to be flexible and that this table only sums up some observations been made. 

<span style="background-color:#223344">Hypothetical classes are marked in blue.</span> This is the case when it is not clear if any character has the class, when even characters in Innworld are only speculating or even joking about such a class, or when they don't appear in canon sources. 

Some classes are used to describe a variety of other classes, as has been the case with [Manager] and [Crafter] classes. In this list <span style="background-color:#303030">they are marked in grey as "umbrella classes".</span> 

Some classes are unusual specialized versions of more common classes, most often with a descriptive addition, like [Brine Cook] which is essentially a [Cook]. They are what an RPG game would call a <span style="background-color:#220022">"Prestige class" and they are marked in purple.</span> 

Some of these descriptive attributes share a common theme, like "Royal" or "Magical" classes. They are not listed individually, just the common elements <span style="background-color:#774400">which are marked in orange</span> and are classified as "class attribute".

Some classes have commas included, seemingly being two classes combined into one with the punctuation used to separate them. These <span style="background-color:#008080">"Comma classes" are marked in teal.</span>
