__NOEDITSECTION__ <!-- prevents problems with edits within table cells --> __NOTOC__
In Oblivion, a '''class''' is a combination of a specialization ([[Oblivion:Combat|Combat]], [[Oblivion:Magic|Magic]] or Stealth), favored [[Oblivion:attributes|attributes]], and major [[Oblivion:skills|skills]]. Your character's class determines what skills you will be most proficient in, and this in turn affects how you level.
You can:
* choose from a set of 21 [[#Standard Classes|Standard Classes]], or
* develop your own [[#Custom Classes|Custom Class]].
Classes that non-player characters ([[Oblivion:NPCs|NPCs]]) use can be found in the article "[[Oblivion:NPC Classes|NPC Classes]]".
One extra class on this page is "CharacterGen". This is given to the player right at the start of the game, before the conversation with [[Oblivion:Baurus|Baurus]] during which a class is chosen. This class is basically the warrior class, except with Strength and Intelligence rather than Strength and Endurance.
[[Oblivion:Character_Creation#Tools|Character Creation Tools]] can be very helpful in determining which standard class or custom class will work best for your playstyle.
==Standard Classes==
The following table shows the seven Major Skills, the Specialization type, and the two Favored Attributes for each of the standard classes in Oblivion. Click on the class name to jump to the summary class description found lower on this page.

::In addition to these bonuses, all of these skills will increase more quickly than they would otherwise.
* '''Two Favored [[Oblivion:Attributes|Attributes]]'''-- +5 to these [[Oblivion:Attributes|Attributes]].
* '''Seven Major [[Oblivion:Skills|Skills]]''' -- +20 to these [[Oblivion:Skills|Skills]], starting you at Apprentice level, also increase quicker and allow you to level up once you train a combined amount of 10 of these skills. Note that any skills trained above this amount before you've leveled up (e.g. If you've leveled up 12 major skills since your last level up) will carry on to the next level.
Minor skills level up at the normal rate. Specialized skills take 75% as much practice or 'experience' to level up. Major skills that are ''not'' specialized take 60% of the normal experience to level up. Skills that are both specialized ''and'' major skills take 45% as much experience to level up. A table of these experience requirements is provided at [[Oblivion:Increasing Skills#Experience_Points_Needed|Increasing Skills]].
: Example: It normally takes 106 successful hits with a sword to raise the Blade skill from rank 35 to rank 36 when Blade is a Minor skill. If Blade is a Specialized (but not Major) skill, it only takes 80 uses to raise from skill rank 35 to 36. If Blade skill is a Major (but not Specialized) skill, it only takes 64 uses to raise from skill rank 35 to 36. And finally, if Blade is '''both''' a Major ''and'' a Specialized skill, it only takes 48 uses to raise from skill rank 35 to 36.
==Notes==
* If you desire a particular image for your custom class, selecting that class before selecting "create custom class" will assign that image to your class. However note that the image of whatever class you eventually choose does not show up again in the game, even when you check your stats in your journal.

__NOEDITSECTION__ <!-- prevents problems with edits within table cells --> __NOTOC__
In Oblivion, a '''class''' is a combination of a specialization ([[Oblivion:Combat|Combat]], [[Oblivion:Magic|Magic]] or Stealth), favored [[Oblivion:attributes|attributes]], and major [[Oblivion:skills|skills]]. Your character's class determines what skills you will be most proficient in, and this in turn affects how you level.
You can:
* choose from a set of 21 [[#Standard Classes|Standard Classes]], or
* develop your own [[#Custom Classes|Custom Class]].
Classes that non-player characters ([[Oblivion:NPCs|NPCs]]) use can be found in the article "[[Oblivion:NPC Classes|NPC Classes]]".
One extra class on this page is "CharacterGen". This is given to the player right at the start of the game, before the conversation with [[Oblivion:Baurus|Baurus]] during which a class is chosen. This class is basically the warrior class, except with Strength and Intelligence rather than Strength and Endurance.
[[Oblivion:Character_Creation#Tools|Character Creation Tools]] can be very helpful in determining which standard class or custom class will work best for your playstyle.
==Standard Classes==
The following table shows the seven Major Skills, the Specialization type, and the two Favored Attributes for each of the standard classes in Oblivion. Click on the class name to jump to the summary class description found lower on this page.

==Custom Classes==
With a custom class, you can select all of the class-specific details freely. This includes all of the seven major [[Oblivion:Skills|skills]] affiliated with the class as well as selecting two of the eight [[Oblivion:Attributes|attributes]] for +5 point permanent bonuses. [[Oblivion:Character Creation|Character Creation]] provides more information on how to setup a new character, including some specific tips for how to create a [[Oblivion:Character Creation#Custom Classes|custom class]].
For a custom class you need to select the following:
* '''Specialization''' (Combat, Magic, Stealth) -- +5 to related [[Oblivion:Skills|Skills]].
** For Combat : [[Oblivion:Armorer|Armorer]], [[Oblivion:Athletics|Athletics]], [[Oblivion:Blade|Blade]], [[Oblivion:Block|Block]], [[Oblivion:Blunt|Blunt]], [[Oblivion:Hand to Hand|Hand to Hand]] and [[Oblivion:Heavy Armor|Heavy Armor]]
** For Magic : [[Oblivion:Alchemy|Alchemy]], [[Oblivion:Alteration|Alteration]], [[Oblivion:Conjuration|Conjuration]], [[Oblivion:Destruction|Destruction]], [[Oblivion:Illusion|Illusion]], [[Oblivion:Mysticism|Mysticism]] and [[Oblivion:Restoration|Restoration]]
** For Stealth : [[Oblivion:Acrobatics|Acrobatics]], [[Oblivion:Light Armor|Light Armor]], [[Oblivion:Marksman|Marksman]], [[Oblivion:Mercantile|Mercantile]], [[Oblivion:Security|Security]], [[Oblivion:Sneak|Sneak]] and [[Oblivion:Speechcraft|Speechcraft]]
::In addition to these bonuses, all of these skills will increase more quickly than they would otherwise.
* '''Two Favored [[Oblivion:Attributes|Attributes]]'''-- +5 to these [[Oblivion:Attributes|Attributes]].
* '''Seven Major [[Oblivion:Skills|Skills]]''' -- +20 to these [[Oblivion:Skills|Skills]], starting you at Apprentice level, also increase quicker and allow you to level up once you train a combined amount of 10 of these skills. Note that any skills trained above this amount before you've leveled up (e.g. If you've leveled up 12 major skills since your last level up) will carry on to the next level.
Minor skills level up at the normal rate. Specialized skills take 75% as much practice or 'experience' to level up. Major skills that are ''not'' specialized take 60% of the normal experience to level up. Skills that are both specialized ''and'' major skills take 45% as much experience to level up. A table of these experience requirements is provided at [[Oblivion:Increasing Skills#Experience_Points_Needed|Increasing Skills]].
: Example: It normally takes 106 successful hits with a sword to raise the Blade skill from rank 35 to rank 36 when Blade is a Minor skill. If Blade is a Specialized (but not Major) skill, it only takes 80 uses to raise from skill rank 35 to 36. If Blade skill is a Major (but not Specialized) skill, it only takes 64 uses to raise from skill rank 35 to 36. And finally, if Blade is '''both''' a Major ''and'' a Specialized skill, it only takes 48 uses to raise from skill rank 35 to 36.
==Notes==
* If you desire a particular image for your custom class, selecting that class before selecting "create custom class" will assign that image to your class. However note that the image of whatever class you eventually choose does not show up again in the game, even when you check your stats in your journal.
