char array not assignable

Yes char arrays are not assignable just as all arrays aren’t. You should use strcpy for example

strcpy(class, "Warrior");

and so on.

Also, you don’t need to declare char class[30]; the longest string I see in your code is "undefined" so

char class[10];

should be ok, 9 characters of "undefined" + 1 null terminating byte '\0'.

And you should prevent buffer overflow with scanf this way

scanf("%1s", class);

since you only want to read 1 character, also the comparison should be simpler just

if (class[0] == 'M')
    strcpy(class, "Mage");

or even thsi would be more readable

classchosen = 1;
switch (class[0])
{
case 'M':
    strcpy(class, "Mage");
    break;
case 'R':
    strcpy(class, "Ranger");
    break;
case 'W':
    strcpy(class, "Warrior");
    break;
default:
    classchosen = 0;
}

and finally check that scanf actually succeeded, it returns the number of arguments matched so in your case a check would be like

if (scanf("%1s", class) == 1) ...
