Classes are the first process to starting Hell Rising. Players can select one class to begin the game. Each class has different items as well as one skill to start with.
Human Classes
Through perseverence or sheer luck, you've managed to survive the initial waves of horrific chaos. You're on your own for now, with nothing to your name except for a few items and a major skill.
Zombie Classes
You've died, but haven't let it get in your way. Shambling through the streets, you are an undead creature with a hunger for human flesh. Depending on the time or manner in which you died, you are capable of using one major skill.
Vampire Classes
You're a special breed of ghoul. Strangely uninterested in devouring raw flesh, blood lust instead permeates every fiber of your being. Due to mysterious changes in your unstable undead biology, you have gained one major skill.
