Classes

Classes are vocations, jobs, or professions taken by persons in universe. The protagonist of each game selects their class during character creation. Certain elements such as race impact class selection, due to the skill set defaulted by each class. For example, Altmer gain bonuses to magic-based skills, making them better suited for the mage class than other races. Each character class features a specialization, several major skills, and an increase in attributes at level up.
Multiple pre-made classes can be chosen from a list, or a custom class can be created. Players uncertain about which class to take may have the option to take a brief test, which allows the player to select a class for them based on their answers. This option was first seen in and carried over to , with Baurus' recommendation during the tutorial. , unlike all titles before it, eradicated the class-structure in favor of more open-ended character customization through the allocation of perks.

The player may name the class whatever they want and assign any skills/attributes to it. The most common mixed classes are the Battlemage and the Stealthmage. These are mixes between the Warrior and the Mage class, and the Stealth and the Mage class. Stealth - Warrior classes are quite rare.
