Dragon's Dogma is a game with a very deep combat system and a range of classes to choose from. At the beginning of the game, you are prompted to choose a class (or "Vocation") for your main character and also for your Main Pawn.

This choice is not permanent, and in fact, it's a really good idea to change your class now and then to vary your stats and pick up new skills. This way, you will be better equipped to face the fiends of Gransys.

Class changes happen in Gran Soren, the main city of the game and a central point in Gransys. The story of Dragon's Dogma takes you here pretty quickly and you'll soon come to call it a home away from home.

The actual class-changing process happens only in the Gran Soren Union Inn. Here you will find the innkeeper Asalam, who can change your class for you.

When talking to Asalam, pick the "Change vocation" option to open the class changing menu. Here you will have a list of the classes that your character and your Pawn can swap into. Note that the main character can pick any of the nine classes available in the game, including the advanced hybrid ones, whereas your Pawn can only pick from the six standard classes.

Each class must first be unlocked before you change into it, and this costs 1000 Discipline Points per class. Fortunately, you can swap between your unlocked classes at will, without incurring any further cost. You must unlock these classes separately for your main character and your Main Pawn, and your hired Pawns cannot have their classes changed at all.

How To Gain Discipline Points

Discipline Points are obtained passively through the game. They are gained at the same time as Experience Points, and the amount you get will depend on your current class rank. All classes begin with a rank of one and max out at rank nine, which is when you'll be earning the most Discipline Points.

As such, the more time you spend in a class, the more Discipline Points you'll have available to unlock the next one. These points carry over between classes and are not class-dependent, and both your main character and your Main Pawn will have separate Discipline Point pools.

Getting more Discipline Points is quite simple. One option is to wear the Asura Armor, which is obtained by completing the DLC quest Keepers of the Ancient Flame - however, this is only available after beating the game once. Another way is to improve the number of Experience Points you earn by bestowing yourself with the Weal status effect.

Please note, however, that Discipline Points are not only used to unlock new classes. They are also used to acquire new skills and augments from the classes you've already trained - don't overspend just to unlock classes that you have no intention of using immediately.
