Subclass

This page is historical information from when RIft was known as Heroes of Telara.

A subclass gives a character a secondary ability or set of abilities in addition to that of their primary class. A subclass is learned or acquired via a 'subclass card' which can be found on defeated enemies, purchased at a merchant, as a quest reward, and or accomplishments.

In one case (demoed at E3 2009), a warrior received a Grave Lord subclass and summoned 'zombie minions' to send into battle.


 * Subclasses can be switched in any location, so you you will not to go to a town and change your subclass as is the case for main/core classes.
 * All have a core class requirement and cannot be used on more than one core class.
 * There will be both combat and non-combat subclasses, which could imply something like a court jester.
 * It is possible that not all subclasses will be in the game at release.
