60 classes are documented here. Fortune’s Weave does not use a fixed promotion tree: a class opens once a unit has the weapon or skill ranks it asks for, and some also ask for a level or Renown. The class board groups classes by the skill their certification exam needs, so you can see which skills to train for the class you want. Select a class there to open its Train sheet, with the exam skills, the other gates and the units the guide suggests for it.

The table lists every class with its weapons, movement and unlock requirement, and each row opens the full class page. Gaps are marked rather than filled in: base classes such as Commoner and Noble have little published about them. For how the class change itself works, read the combat guide alongside this list.

Classes

Classes by exam skill

Classes are gated by a Certification Exam, not a fixed promotion tree. Each row is the skill a class's exam leans on most: a riding, flying or armour skill where the exam needs one, otherwise its highest weapon or magic rank. Select a class to see everything it asks you to train.
