Classes, new to version 0.9.9.4, subtly but drastically affect the ability of your character while playing through DoomRL. They come with their own unique strengths, as well as special traits from which only their class can choose. Currently there are no limitations, whether natural or artificial in construct, on what class you can choose for any reason.

All classes have special starting characteristics, an advanced trait they can use from the very beginning of the game (as opposed to needing other traits to unlock its selection), and five unique master traits that highlight the class's uses.
