A suggestion was made to be recently that got me thinking that I ought to make something clear.
There are Character Classes. You choose a character creation list, which naturally gives you a type or class of character.
However, player characters CAN move between classes through Role Play. The Scavvy Ganger CAN be picked up by an Imperial Guard unit and after some Role Play in the unit (surviving being a good start) would then under go “downtime” training and join the Imperial Guard fully.
Their character stat choices would therefore expand. They would now have access to the Imperial Guard lists and retain the skills they had before hand.
That said though, that character would no longer have access to further purchases from the Civilian skills list or have use of the points bonus but they now have access to greater weapon and armour skills.
Hope that’s clear now. The emphasis is on Role Playing yourself to advancement rather than power gaming through creating a powerful starting character, which is essentially artificial.
