Roles

Professions often have a mixture of roles to which a particular individual and their training can give. When a profession is described as an 'Off-' role, it means they have some relevance to the role described but cannot be relied on being the primary role for a group as it is not as effective as full-roled professions.

• Combat: Professions with the Combat role specialise in dealing damage, slaying targets and being able to use combat equipment (weapons/armour effectively). Their skillsets are most useful while defending against hostile forces.
  • Warrior: As Combat, but more specifically equipment-based such as Fighters and Knights.
  • Martial Arts: As Combat, but more specifically based upon the user's physical condition and skills than equipment. Such as Monks.

• Metaforce: Professions that can tap into one or more of the Metaforce manifestation types such as Magic, Ki or Psionics. Metaforce can have a wide variety of effects but commonly restricted by the user's skill and resources. Wizards, Witches, Psions, Sorcerers, Druids and Clerics fall under these types.
  • Elemental: Metaforce user can conjure, create or manipulate what is commonly known as the 'Elements', which may be temperature-based Fire and Ice, Meteorological Wind, Water and Lightning, Tectonic Earth and Nature or even non-traditional element of Force itself (where available, the applicable elements will be noted or simply 'all').
  • Illusion: Metaforce user can manipulate the minds of others to change their way of thinking or to trick their sensory perception to something that is not real. This may also allow multiple creatures to believe in the Illusion if it targets a space rather than an individual.
  • Transmutation: Metaforce user can manipulate the physical properties of creatures or the environment in specific ways, ranging from altering their strength to full-body/object transformations that wildly change their appearance and function.
  • Conjuration: Ability to summon or recall creatures and objects to aid you, alternatively calling forth existing elements and power.

• Utility: Professions that rely on the use of skills and talents not normally covered in combat nor extraordinary like Metaforce interactions. Whether these benefits only affect the user or can be used to help others, utility helps out in more mundane or indirect interactions.
  • Mechanical: As Utility, but with skills that are particularly relevant to man-made locks and contraptions. Rogues would be called upon to disable traps or unlock doors however Constructors can also repair Constructs and devices from disrepair.
  • Social: As Utility, except with skills most useful in dealing with people, even those of different races. While there are limitations to how far you can compel or con others.
  • Knowledge: As Utility, except for skills that usually benefit the individual or can be relayed to others, often based upon usable knowledge or facts.
  • Talent: As Utility, except for skills that the user can perform extraordinary feats that may or may not be transferrable to others.
  • Triage: As Utility, except with skills or powers that allow one to heal injuries, cure ailments or even bring back people from death.
