Alter Aeon is a multi-class MUD meaning that you will be multiple classes at once, so try to think classes more as a set of skills/spells than as your define role.

While you may start the game as a Warrior you will certainly pick up the spells from one of the caster classes for protection in the case of Cleric, or utility in the case of Mage for example.
