* The ''[[Modern Warfare]]'' series uses classes for its multiplayer, though unlike the above, each class's weapons, equipment, and whatnot are entirely decided by the player.
* ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]'' has [[Common Character Classes|Soldiers, Scouts, Scientists, and Leaders]].

** The third edition of D&D gave the world the d20 system, allowing other publishers to use the same general mechanics of the tabletop rpg [[Ur Example]]. Many - but not all - d20 rpgs also used classes.

* ''[[Rifts]]'' has a system that can get a bit confusing at times. There's O.C.C.s (Occupational Character Class), as well as R.C.C.s (Racial Character Class) for non-human characters. Where it gets confusing is that sometimes a character's R.C.C. doubles as his O.C.C, and sometimes a player has to pick an O.C.C. as well as an R.C.C. Then there's P.C.C.s, for Psychic Character class, but that terminology is barely ever used in the books since functionally they're no different from O.C.C.s.
* [[Earthdawn]] calls them Disciplines. They're somewhat more fleshed out than in many cases, with social context given, as well as how the worldviews of different disciplines work together (or don't). Also, if you act against your discipline (wizards not thinking things through if they have the time, beastmasters hurting animals that aren't attacking them), you may lose some of your powers.
Line 24:
* ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' has used classes, usually called Jobs, from the very beginning. They run the gamut of "no class changes whatsoever" to "can change classes at will" to "can have all classes' abilities at once" to "[[Dissimile|doesn't actually uses classes]]".
* A staple of ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' as well, at least after the first game (where there was only one character in your party).

** The Aspects and Classes also don't always correspond to the literal translation. Light, for example, denotes [[Winds of Destiny Change|luck]] instead of [[Light'Em Up|literally light]], and Bard is a destructive class.
