Classes

Return to Index

A class is, generally, a classification of unit recognized by identical or very similar sprites users of the class share. A class will often specialize in certain stats and/or weapons and will have certain traits that separate them from other classes. In SRPG Studio, users are able to give classes base stats, growth, type, weapons, skills, and more. Class growths and stats are added onto a unit's base growths and stats in order to determine their final growths and bases. Therefore, if a class has base 5 movement, while the unit's page has 5 movement, the unit will actually be given 10 mov.

Class Groups
Class Groups can be created and managed by clicking Database > Config > Class Groups.

By creating Class Groups, you can categorize multiple classes together so that they can be referred to elsewhere in the Database more quickly instead of individually selecting each Class.

You can also determine which, if any, level or stats a character must reach before a Class can be changed to.

Class Type
Class Type can be created and managed by clicking Database > Config > Class Type.

By creating and editing Class Type, you can set a few general aspects about your Classes, including Move Type (such as Light, Heavy, Horse, Sea, Sky) and Sound When Moving (such as Walk, Horse, Flying and Dragon).

You can also enable or disable Terrain Bonus for the Class Type, and set Custom Parameters.

Class Type settings are useful for ensuring your characters behave as expected on the map, such as being able to walk on the correct type of tiles, and that they play the correct type of sound effect while moving.
