Rappelz/Races

Each of the three races in Rappelz has three classes: a melée-oriented class, a magic-oriented class, and a "summoner" class whose abilities centre around their pets. In a slight departure from form taken by other games in the genre, the a character's class is not chosen at the beginning of play: instead, characters are of a generic "all-rounder" class until level 10, whereupon the player can choose how to specialise. Players are also free to select their character's gender at creation.

All characters can have at least one pet or ridable creature summoned at a time, but only the Summoner-type classes gain skills that can improve their pets.

Players are free to adventure anywhere in the game world, regardless of their character's race.
