Let the Destiny System Name Your Class

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is built around the Destiny system, which the publisher says allows you to continuously evolve your character class to your style of play.

The system reads your play

Because Destiny evolves the class toward your style rather than demanding you pick before you understand the game, the sensible approach is to play naturally and watch what the system decides you have become. That removes the fear of a wasted early choice.

Evolving beats restarting

The store describes continuous evolution rather than a single commitment, which means a build that has stopped working is a signal to change direction rather than start over. With hundreds of hours of content described, switching direction is much cheaper than a new save.

Let the build follow the loot

Since the store pairs the Destiny system with countless combinations of skills, abilities, weapons and armour, a good piece of gear is a legitimate reason to shift the character again. Treat the class as the readout of your choices, not the cage around them.

The combat side of that choice is covered in mixing magic with melee. For the raw parts you are choosing between, see building from skills, weapons and armour.
