There are nine character classes in Shartak, and for each character the player must choose one when they begin playing. Each class is capable of having a similar game experience, but there are some differences in mechanics and abilities which lead to unique playing styles.
The classes have different hit points (HP) limits, starting inventories, and skill opportunities. Characters in all classes begin the game with 175 action points (AP) and regenerate one action point every 20 minutes. Scouts and explorers regenerate AP until they have 80, while 75 is the AP regeneration limit for all other characters.
