Commonly this exists in games with multiclassing where the superclass is the actual character development class which dictates your health, mana, etc. which is complimented by profession classes or similar that actually give you your specific abilities.

Usually involves levels, skills, etc. being bought with experience.

Unlike subclassing, the superclass is the same for all characters regardless what they actually become, often unnamed, but it commonly appears under "adventurer" or similar generic name.
