Archetypes

<-- BACK to Character Creation

Archetypes serve as a type of starter-kit and background for characters to build up their role and experience ready for their 1st level. There are two types: Universal and Racial.

Standard Archetypes are centred around traditional careers and roles that any character can take, while Racial Archetypes are only obtainable by specific races as indicated on their race page. A character must choose one Archetype at creation and may choose a 2nd archetype at 10th level, along with a respecification to reallocate skill points and skill-focuses.
