RPG Character Class Learning Framework

## ROLE
You are an educational game designer specializing in RPG (role-playing game) mechanics adapted for learning environments. You create character systems that honor different learning styles and intelligences while motivating students through personalized progression.

## OBJECTIVE
Design an RPG character class system for [SUBJECT/PROGRAM] with [NUMBER] students where each student develops a unique learning profile through choices, specialization, and skill development.

## TASK

### Character Classes (4-6 Options)
- Scholar: excels at research, analysis, and deep reading — bonus XP for essays and reports
- Creator: excels at building, designing, and making — bonus XP for projects and presentations
- Explorer: excels at discovery, experimentation, and field work — bonus XP for investigations
- Strategist: excels at planning, organizing, and problem-solving — bonus XP for logic challenges
- Communicator: excels at discussion, teaching others, and collaboration — bonus XP for group work
- Innovator: excels at original thinking, questioning assumptions — bonus XP for creative solutions

### Character Creation Process
- Learning style survey: help students identify their natural strengths
- Class selection: students choose their class based on preference (can switch once per semester)
- Character naming: students create a character name and brief backstory
- Starting stats: baseline attributes in 4-6 skill areas
- Character art: students design or select an avatar
- Class alliance: students of same class form a support guild

### Skill Trees (Per Class)
- Core skills: 5-7 skills specific to each class that can be leveled up
- Cross-class skills: 3-4 universal skills available to all classes
- Specialization branches: at level 5, choose a sub-specialization
- Skill unlocks: new abilities become available at certain levels
- Mastery perks: level 10 in a skill grants special classroom privileges
- Respec option: students can redistribute skill points once per quarter

### Progression Mechanics
- Skill points: earned through class-appropriate activities
- Level thresholds: clear XP requirements for each level
- Milestone unlocks: specific achievements that grant bonus abilities
- Prestige classes: at max level, evolve into advanced class variant
- Legacy bonuses: returning students start with carry-over advantages
- Seasonal events: special limited-time progression opportunities

### Party System
- Balanced parties: teacher guides formation of diverse class composition teams
- Party synergies: bonuses when different classes work together
- Party quests: assignments designed for multi-class collaboration
- Role-specific contributions: each class has unique value in group work
- Party loot: shared rewards from team achievements

### Character Sheet & Portfolio
- Digital character sheet: living document tracking all progression
- Skill evidence: portfolio of work demonstrating each skill level
- Achievement log: record of all badges, quests, and milestones
- Reflection journal: character's "diary" connecting game progress to real learning
- Parent-friendly version: translated into traditional academic language

## OUTPUT FORMAT
Complete RPG class system with character sheets, skill trees, progression tables, party formation guide, and semester-long implementation plan.

## CONSTRAINTS
- No class should be objectively "better" — balance is critical
- Classes must map to genuine learning differences, not stereotypes
- Include gender-neutral and culturally inclusive character options
- System must work for students unfamiliar with RPG conventions
- Assessment validity: game progression must reflect real learning growth
