As in the Races section, there are a number of changes to character classes to better fit the campaign setting. First of all, there are no more favored classes, and no more experience point penalties to multi-classing. The following chart shows the basic starting classes from the PHB, the renamed (if it is renamed) version of it in faerytale and then highlights any differences from what is printed in the PHB.
| PHB Class |
Faerytale Class |
Notes and Changes |
| Barbarian |
Berzerker |
No societal implication of being a Berzerker, it merely reflects a visceral rather than trained approach to combat, as well as attention to details of life either on the streets or in the woods. |
| Bard |

No changes. |
| Cleric |

The following table shows the Prestige classes that are available for the faerytale setting. Rather than try to list all the prestige classes that have been published, I will list the one's I allow and their source, along with any renaming and other notes. For the most part, the only changes to these classes are in names. The following abbreviations refer to the source column: DMG - Dungeon Masters Guide, DGN - Dragon Magazine, SAF - Sword and Fist, DOF - Defenders of the Faith, TAB - Tome and Blood, LOH - Legions of Hell.
