When to Play Classes and Races

Change, as far as I can tell, but it's meant to be a clarification. Per "Character Creation," at the beginning of the game, after you're dealt your initial 8 cards, you can play Class and Race cards (plus Items) before anyone takes a turn. That's what the 1.6 rules meant by "acquire."

However, there are ways to draw cards during other peoples' turns. The 1.7 rules revision closes the loophole where you could draw a Class or Race card during someone else's turn and immediately play it. This was unintentional, and could lead to abuses. Note that you couldn't play a Class or Race card during someone else's turn if it was already in your hand.

Of course, card text overrides the basic rules, and there may be cards that could specifically allow you to change your Class or Race during someone else's turn.
