Class Level vs Character Level

The vernacular that distinguishes your Class Level from your Character Level can be confusing but very important to understand.

• Your Character Level (also sometimes called your Heroic Level) is the total sum of all your character's Class Levels.
• Your Class Level is how many levels you have put into a given Class. 

For a character with only a single class, Character Level and Class Level will be the same value. 
Examples:

• Quentin is a level 6 Soldier. His Class Level is 6, and since he has only one Class his Character Level is also 6.
• Martin is a level 4 Jedi and a level 2 Scout. He has two Class Levels, 4 and 2 respectively, but like Quentin, his Character Level is 6.
