Archetypes & Pathways

Archetypes

There are four Archetypes: THE VANGUARD, THE HERALD, THE ADEPT, and THE MAGE. Each represents a different approach to the core Attributes, and helps define how your character engages with the world. Your style of play will be primarily shaped by your Archetype.

While these roles may resemble familiar archetypes from other systems, each is further refined through its Pathways, which provide more specific expressions of that role.

When you choose an Archetype, you gain access to its full list of Abilities, including higher level options unlocked at later levels. At character creation, you choose One starting Ability from the Level 1 options. As you level up, you may learn additional Abilities from your Archetype provided you meet their level requirement.

When you choose an Archetype, you gain access to its full list of Words of Power, including higher level options unlocked at later levels. At character creation, you choose Two starting Words of Power from the Level 1 options. As you level up, you may learn additional Words of Power from your Archetype provided you meet their level requirement.
