Archetypes & Pathways
SRD v5.1 · View original spread 28
Your Archetype defines your character’s broad approach to the world, shaping how they solve problems, act under pressure, and engage with challenges. Each Archetype aligns with one of the four core Attributes — STONES: THE VANGUARD, SCROLLS: THE HERALD, SWORDS: THE ADEPT, OR SORCERY: THE MAGE.
Each Archetype has four Pathways. Your Pathway further refines that identity, representing the specific skills, methods, or beliefs your character has developed. Pathways draw on a secondary Attribute and help distinguish characters even within the same Archetype.
Together, your Archetype and Pathway shape your Abilities, Words of Power, and overall playstyle without limiting what your character can attempt.
