Classes

Your class will give you bonuses to various stats and abilities. Classes can also be upgraded when certain special abilities are used. When you start out your character, their class will start at level 1, which gives a +2 bonus to whatever stat the class is increasing. reaching level 2 will make that bonus advance to +3, and reaching level 3 will make it advance to +4, and so on. In order to move onto level 2, the player must make successful special moves earning them a point. 10 points are needed to advance to level 2, 15 points are needed to advance to level 3, and so on. Basically when you level up, the next level will be 5 more points than last time. When the next level is reached, your points return to zero. This means that when you gain 10 points and advance to level 2, your points count resets. you must now perform 15 more moves in order to gain level 3. Each time a character performs actions to gain points, they gain one point. Each class will also start out with certain types of armor.
