Faces of 2 classes of one race differ by at least 2 out of 3 skills.

Humans = Leadership + Light + Darkness
Elves = Luck + Light + Summoning
Mages = Education + Chaos + Summoning

Dark Elves = Logistics + Darkness + Chaos
Undead = Sorcery + Darkness + Summoning
Orcs = Engineering + Resistance + Cries
Additionally, each race has 2-3 general rare skills that are not included in the profiles of any of its classes. Usually this is a pair of magic schools not in the guild profile with a 1% drop chance.
But there are exceptions:
- Mages, rare skills (instead of magics) - attack and defense
- Dwarves, additional rare skill - logistics
- Demons, additional rare skill - sorcery
- Undead, additional impossible skill - leadership (0% chance), rare magic schools have a 2% chance
