Editing Player character (section)

===Role-playing games===
In both tabletop role playing games such as ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' and role-playing video games such as ''[[Final Fantasy]],'' a player typically creates or takes on the identity of a character that may have nothing in common with the player. The character is often of a certain (usually fictional) race and class (such as [[zombie]], [[berserker]], [[rifleman]], [[elf]], or [[clergy|cleric]]), each with strengths and weaknesses. The attributes of the characters (such as magic and fighting ability) are given as numerical values which can be increased as the character progresses and gains rank and experience points through accomplishing goals or fighting enemies.
