Path · The Primal Hunter · Wiki

An individual is the sum of their choices... It's called one's Path, because it's what one has gone through to get where they are today. A single choice, a forced encounter, an unfortunate scenario, or so many other happenings can entirely change how one's life develops and ends up. It can make one an entirely different person."

—Eastbound Monk, to Jake Thayne

The Path is an individual's way through the life, and the method of progress through The System Grades. Each being under The System has a Path, and each Path can potentially be a Path to the pinnacle. Depending on things such as their Race, it can be partially imposed upon birth, or freely chosen. Taking actions in accordance to one's Path (while in an integrated universe) results in Levels, makes Evolving easier, and results in better Evolution options. When taken to extreme, diligently following the Path through the entire life can allow one to ascend to Godhood.

For Monsters there is only one path to power, their Race, while Enlightened races also can have Class, Profession or both.

Classes usually focus on the pursuit of strength, typically through combat, but there are exceptions to that, such as Augur of Hope or the god Seeker. On the other hand, Professions are the path of mostly focused on the non-combat aspects, such as crafting or leadership.
