Archetypes

Archetypes are a type of starter-kit for characters to build up their role and experience ready for their 1st level. They come in two types: Standard and Race-Specific. Standard archetypes are centred around traditional careers and roles that any character can take, while race-specific archetypes can only be taken if you are the race the archetype belongs to; these are written in the article pertaining to the race itself. 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.
