Eight Warhammer Online careers outlined

After showing Warhammer Online off at this year's E3, Climax has unveiled eight of the starting "careers" (its term for classes) for the upcoming PC game. Set in the troubled realm of Reikland, the dark fantasy massively multiplayer role-playing game will employ the same branching career system as its pen-and-paper and miniature game inspiration. Players in the game will start off in lowly jobs and will work their way up to more accomplished positions. The starting careers announced so far are:

Thug, a skilled and vicious fighter

Novice, a devout individual being indoctrinated into a cult

Petty Crook, actively seeking out a life of crime

Militia, a young fighter with a strong sense of sprit for community service

Rascal, born opportunists living by their wits

Scribe, hailed for being from the privileged class

Scout, often hired as adjuncts to the militia due to their skills at hunting and tracking

Sell Sword, eager to learn their trade as likely young fighters

Although Warhammer Online has been in development for more than two years, no release date has yet been announced.
