Character Classes
Each new Player Character picks a class. Each class has several archetypes. A player character picks one at first level, gaining the basic features and proficiencies of that archtype. At levels 3 and 7 the player character may choose a new feature of the custom archetype features to add to their character. The PC can’t select the same feature twice. Classes list what dice to roll for HP earned at each level up. A PC always earns at least 1 HP each time they level up. Some classes have spellcasting.
The four classes are:
- Warrior - A born fighter, using strength and athleticism to achieve greatness
- Specialist - A talented adventurer, relying on their training, wits, and guile to survive
- Zealot - A true believer, dedicated to the cause through steel and miracles
- Scholar - A learned student of arcane knowledge, applying their mind-melting techniques to win
