Archetypes & Pathways

Pathways

Each Archetype is divided into four Pathways, representing different expressions of that role through the core Attributes.

When you choose a Pathway, you define how your character approaches challenges and where their strengths lie. While your Archetype sets your overall style, your Pathway refines it into something more specific.

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

When you choose an Pathway, 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 Pathway provided you meet their level requirement.
