Path of Virtues utilizes a class system based on the Virtue Professions Ultimas IV through IX, with a few additional lore-related Professions. A character’s Profession is selected at character creation and governs which skills that character may learn, and to what level. Profession likewise governs which weapons and other items a character may use, which guilds that character may join and various other factors. A great deal of thought and care went into trying to craft a system that captures the distinct features that make each Profession unique , but also one that is fair, not overly restrictive and allows as much freedom as possible.
Allowed Items
Each Profession is limited in the type of weapons, armor and certain other items members of the Profession may equip and utilize. A list of allowed weapons, armor and certain other items is included in each Profession’s description page.

Prohibited Skills: Cannot be learned by that Profession.
