The Cosmere RPG handles classes very differently from Pathfinder or DnD (www.wargamer.com)

I mean, I think "very" in the title is a stretch. It's Pathfinder 2e's feat-centric system but without multiclass restrictions. Which is fine, but Wildsea did it better and doesn't encumber you with levels (though I have problems with its advancement system).

Very much a "Wow, Brandon Sanderson. I guess I hadn't ever thought about leveling in that specific way before." moment. Nothing really revolutionary unless you locked yourself in the D&D dungeon already.

Aren't D&D like class the exception rather than the norm ?

Rather than the subclasses we’re used to in Dungeons and Dragons, the Stormlight RPG offers mix-and-match skill trees with 200+ branches.

So they still have American styled classes (DnD, only classes), not British styled classes (Warhammer, 4 classes, the rest is professions).

And now I am asking myself if DnD, with only classes, could be considered as class warfare.
