In V5, some of the classes I've added are unique (or almost unique) to certain nationalities due to the nature of the class. It wouldn't make sense for Aiel to become a class that is something that is unique to Ogier in the books, or vice versa. There are never more than 2 unique classes for a nation, and some of those are restricted by gender.
However, as of this version there are not unique classes for each nation, simply because adding 20 or so classes in addition to the shared classes would have been overkill for 1 version. More may be added overtime though (I'm hoping to). To balance things out for the nations that have these unique classes, I've added restriction to a couple other classes: Wolfkin and Whitecloak (or Child of the Light if you prefer but that was too long for a class name
).
Wolfkin & Whitecloaks are listed below. Each nation (or class) that is restricted for Whitecloaks has at least 1 unique class that they can choose. All but the Seanchan have 2, which is why Seanchan can also become wolfbrothers. I'll talk about those over the next week or so, but figured I'd better more fully explain why Wolfkin and Whitecloaks are so restricted.
