== '''Class Features''' ==


;Ability
== '''Path Features''' ==
This entry tells which ability is typically associated with that class.


;Hit Die
The following are features that help define the Character Path features. The main things that make each Path stand out from each other are '''Ability Affinity''', '''Hit Die''' and the '''Talent Trees'''. All these things are explained below in more detail.
The die type used by characters of the class to determine the number of hit points gained per level.
 
A player rolls one die of the given type each time his or her character gains a new level. The character’s Constitution modifier is applied to the roll. Add the result to the character’s hit point total. Even if the result is 0 or lower, the character always gains at least 1 hit point. A 1st-level character gets the maximum hit points rather than rolling (although the Constitution modifier is still applied).

;Class Skills
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
This section of a class description provides a list of class skills and also gives the number of skill points the character starts with at 1st level and the number of skill points gained each level thereafter. A character’s Intelligence modifier is applied to determine the total skill points gained each level (but always at least 1 point per level, even for a character with an Intelligence penalty).
;Hit Die
A 1st-level character starts with 4 times the number of skill points he or she receives upon attaining each level beyond 1st. The maximum ranks a character can have in a class skill is the character’s level +3.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A character can also buy skills from other classes’ skill lists. Each skill point buys a half rank in these cross-class skills, and a character can only buy up to half the maximum ranks of a class skill.
: The die type used by characters of the class to determine the number of hit points gained per level.  A player rolls one die of the given type each time his or her character gains a new level.

There are more rules on the [[Character_Creation_and_Advancement#Calculating_Health|Character Creation and Advancement]] page.

<u>Ability Affinity</u>: Dexterity


;Starting Feats
<u>Hit Die</u>: 1d8  (First Level: 8, Level Up Average: 5)
:In addition to the two feats all characters get at 1st level, a Fast hero begins play with the Simple Weapons Proficiency feat.


;Class Features
<u>Class Skills provided by Path</u>: The Fast hero’s class [[Skills]] (and the key ability for each skill) are: [[Acrobatics]](Dex), Choose Two: [ [[Pilot]](Dex) [[Sleight_of_Hand|Sleight of Hand]](Dex), [[Stealth]](Dex)]
:All of the following are class features of the Fast hero.


;Talents
Also, the starting occupation the character selects can provide additional class skills to choose from.
:At 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level, the Fast hero selects a talent from the following talent trees. Some trees have a set order that must be followed, while others provide a list to choose from. As long as the hero qualifies, he or she can select freely from any and all talent trees. No talent can be selected more than once unless expressly indicated.


;Defensive Talent Tree
<u>Skill Points at Each Additional Level</u>: 1 + Int modifier.
:The Fast hero gains the ability to improve his or her innate defensive talents as the hero attains new levels.
* Evasion: If the Fast hero is exposed to any effect that normally allows a character to attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage, the Fast hero suffers no damage if he or she makes a successful saving throw. Evasion can only be used when wearing light armor or no armor.
* Uncanny Dodge 1: The Fast hero retains his or her Dexterity bonus to Defense regardless of being caught flat-footed or struck by a hidden attacker. (The hero still loses his or her Dexterity bonus to Defense if the hero is immobilized.)
** Prerequisite: Evasion.
* Uncanny Dodge 2: The Fast hero can no longer be flanked; the hero can react to opponents on opposite sides of him or herself as easily as he or she can react to a single attacker.
** Prerequisites: Evasion, uncanny dodge 1.
* Defensive Roll: The Fast hero can roll with a potentially lethal attack to take less damage from it. When the Fast hero would be reduced to 0 hit points or less by damage in combat (from a ranged or melee attack), the Fast hero can attempt to roll with the damage.
A Fast hero spends 1 action point to use this talent. Once the point is spent, the hero makes a Reflex saving throw (DC = damage dealt). If the save succeeds, he or she takes only half damage. The Fast hero must be able to react to the attack to execute a defensive roll—if the hero is immobilized, he or she can’t use this talent.
Since this effect would not normally allow a character to make a Reflex save for half damage, the Fast hero’s evasion talent doesn’t apply to the defensive roll.
Prerequisites: Evasion, uncanny dodge 1.
Opportunist: The Fast hero can spend 1 action point to use this talent. Once the point is spent, the hero can make an attack of opportunity against an opponent who has just been struck for damage in melee by another character. This attack counts as the Fast hero’s attack of opportunity for that round. Even a Fast hero with the Combat Reflexes feat can’t use this talent more than once per round.
** Prerequisite: Evasion.

A Tough Hero is less worried about being hit or pushed to the front lines. They can shrug off things and keep moving that would down others. They are built like a tank and have great stamina. These are people who are more willing to do dangerous things. They are more likely to survive the harshness of Space exploration and are usually the defenders of support military units.
|}


<u>Ability Affinity</u>: Constitution


;Starting Feats
<u>Hit Die</u>: 1d10 (First Level: 10, Level Up Average: 6)

As long as the hero qualifies, he or she can select freely from any and all talent trees. No talent can be selected more than once unless expressly indicated.


;Damage Reduction Talent Tree
<u>Skill Points at Each Additional Level</u>: 1 + Int modifier.
:The Tough hero has an innate talent to ignore a set amount of damage from most weapons, but not from energy or special attack forms (which may or may not exist, depending on the campaign). Before the hero can select a talent from this tree the hero must have previously selected at least one talent from the Energy Resistance or Unbreakable Talent Tree.
* Damage Reduction 1/—: The Tough hero ignores 1 point of damage from melee and ranged weapons.
** Prerequisite: One other talent from either the Energy Resistance Talent Tree or the Unbreakable Talent Tree.
* Damage Reduction 2/—: The Tough hero ignores an additional 1 point of damage from melee and ranged weapons (DR 2/— total).
** Prerequisites: Damage reduction 1/—, one other talent from either the Energy Resistance Talent Tree or the Unbreakable Talent Tree.

The hero can choose to succumb to unconsciousness if he or she thinks that doing so might prevent him or her from taking more damage.
* Robust: The Tough hero becomes especially robust, gaining a number of hit points equal to his or her Tough level as soon as he or she selects this talent. Thereafter, the hero gains +1 hit point with each level of Tough he or she gains.

The Smart Hero is all about brains over brawn. They relay on there academic knowledge to deal with what life throws at them. Most are brainy or bookworms and sometimes sure of themselves and there expertise. These are your scientists and engineers, they will be working with robots or studying alien life forms. In the military they are used to help make a unit more flexible.


<u>Ability Affinity</u>: Intelligence


;Starting Feats
<u>Hit Die</u>: 1d6 (First Level: 6, Level Up Average: 4)
: In addition to the two feats all characters get at 1st level, a Smart hero begins play with the Simple Weapons Proficiency feat.


;Class Features
<u>Class Skills provided by Path</u>: The Smart hero’s class [[Skills]] (and the key ability for each skill) are: [[Computer_Use|Computer Use]](Int), [[Study]](Int), Choose Two: [(Any [[Knowledge]] Skill)(Int), (Any One [[Craft]] Skill)(Int)]
: All of the following are class features of the Smart hero.


;Talents
Also, the starting occupation the hero selects can provide additional class skills to choose from.
: At 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level, the Smart hero selects a talent from the following talent trees. Some trees have a set order that must be followed, while others provide a list to choose from. As long as the hero qualifies, he or she can select freely from any and all talent trees. No talent can be selected more than once unless expressly indicated.
 
;Research Talent Tree
:The Smart hero has a natural aptitude for study and fact-finding. These talents can be selected in any order.
* Savant: Select one of the skills listed in the following paragraph. The hero must have ranks in the skill if it is Trained Only.  The Smart hero gets to add a bonus equal to his or her Smart level when making checks with that skill. A Smart hero can take this talent multiple times; each time it applies to a different skill.
Computer Use, Craft (any single skill), Decipher Script, Demolitions, Disable Device, Forgery, Investigate, Knowledge (any single skill), Navigate, Repair, Research, Search.
* Linguist: With this talent, the Smart hero becomes a master linguist. Whenever the hero encounters a new language, either spoken or written, that he or she does not know the Smart hero can make an Intelligence check to determine if he or she can understand it. The check is made with a bonus equal to the hero’s Smart level. For a written language, the bonus applies to a Decipher Script check instead.
The DC for the check depends on the situation: DC 15 if the language is in the same group as a language the hero has as a Read/Write Language or Speak Language skill; DC 20 if the language is unrelated to any other languages the hero knows; and DC 25 if the language is ancient or unique.  With this special ability, a Smart hero can glean enough meaning from a conversation or document to ascertain the basic message, but this ability in no way simulates actually being able to converse or fluently read and write in a given language.
A single check covers roughly one minute of a spoken language or one page of a written language.
** Prerequisite: At least 1 rank in either Read/Write Language or Speak Language for each of three different languages.
 
;Strategy Talent Tree
:The Smart hero has the brainpower to see solutions in most situations. These talents can be selected in any order, but before the hero can select a talent from this tree he or she must have previously selected at least one talent from the Research Talent Tree.
* Exploit Weakness: After 1 round of combat, the Smart hero can designate one opponent and try to find ways to gain an advantage by using brains over brawn. The Smart hero uses a move action and makes an Intelligence check (DC 15) with a bonus equal to his or her Smart level. If the check succeeds, for the rest of the combat the Smart hero uses his or her Intelligence bonus instead of either Strength or Dexterity bonus on attack rolls as the hero finds ways to outthink his opponent and notices weaknesses in his opponent’s fighting style.
** Prerequisite: One talent from the Research Talent Tree.
* Plan: Prior to an encounter the Smart hero can develop a plan of action to handle the situation. Using this talent requires preparation; a Smart hero can’t use this talent when surprised or otherwise unprepared for a particular situation. Creating a plan requires 1 minute.
After creating the plan the Smart hero makes an Intelligence check (DC 10) with a bonus equal to his or her Smart level. The result of the check provides the Smart hero and allies with a circumstance bonus. A Smart hero can’t take 10 or 20 when making this check.
Check Result
Bonus
9 or lower
+0 (check failed)
10–14
+1
15–24
+2
25 or higher
+3
This bonus can be applied to all skill checks and attack rolls made by the Smart hero and his or her allies, but the bonus only lasts for the first 3 rounds after making the plan. After that time, reduce the bonus by 1 point (to a minimum of +0) for every additional round the situation continues, as the vagaries of circumstance begin to unravel even the best-laid plans.
** Prerequisite: One talent from the Research Talent Tree.
* Trick: The Smart hero has the ability to temporarily confuse a target through the use of ploy and deception. The target must have an Intelligence score of 3 or higher to be susceptible to a trick, must be within 30 feet of the hero, and must be able to hear and understand the hero.
To play a trick on a target, the hero must use a full-round action and make an Intelligence check (DC 15), adding his or her Smart level as a bonus. If the Intelligence check succeeds, the target can try to think quickly and ignore the trick.
The target resists the trick by making a Will saving throw (DC 10 + Smart hero’s class level + Smart hero’s Int bonus). If the saving throw fails, the target becomes dazed (unable to act, but can defend normally) for 1 round.
A trick can only be played on a particular target once per encounter. After the first trick in an encounter, whether the attempt succeeds or not, that target becomes wary and immune to such ploys.  This is a mind-affecting ability.
** Prerequisite: One talent from the Research Talent Tree.
 
;Bonus Feats
:At 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th level, the Smart hero gains a bonus feat. This feat must be selected from the following list, and the Smart hero must meet any prerequisites.
Builder, Cautious, Combat Expertise, Educated, Gearhead, Improved Disarm, Improved Trip, Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes, Meticulous, Studious, Vehicle Expert, Weapon Focus.

; Strategy Talent Tree
Also, the starting occupation the hero selects can provide additional class skills to choose from.
: The Smart hero has the brainpower to see solutions in most situations. Take the following '''in order'''.
# Strategy:  Once per combat the Smart hero can use her Intelligence mod instead of Strength or Dexterity for an accuracy check against an opponent.
# Exploit Weakness: After 1 round of combat, the Smart hero can designate one opponent and try to find ways to gain an advantage by using brains over brawn. The Smart hero makes an Intelligence check (DC 15 + CR rating above Character Level) with a bonus equal to half his or her Smart level round down as a Simple action. If the target has a CR rating of 7 and the Hero is level 5 then the DC would be 17. If the check succeeds, 1d6 rounds the Smart hero adds his or her Intelligence Mod as bonus damage since the hero has found weaknesses in his opponent’s fighting style.
# Improved Strategy: This is Strategy except now it is once per opponent instead of combat, and you gain a +1 to accuracy when doing this.
# Advanced Strategy: This is Improved Strategy except now the Hero can use this ability twice per opponent and the bonus is +2

Military officers as well as crooks that while try to swindle your money away.


;Starting Feats
<u>Ability Affinity</u>: Charisma
:In addition to the two feats all characters get at 1st level, a Charismatic hero begins play with the Simple Weapons Proficiency feat.
<u>Hit Die</u>: 1d6 (First Level: 6, Level Up Average: 4)


;Class Features
<u>Class Skills provided by Path</u>: The Charismatic hero’s class [[Skills]] (and the key ability for each skill) are: [[Diplomacy]](Cha), Perform(Cha), Choose Two: [ [[Profession]](Wis), [[Bluff]](Cha), [[Disguise]](Cha), [[Sense_Motive|Sense Motive]](Wis)], Any One [[Knowledge]](Int)
:All of the following are class features of the Charismatic hero.


;Talents
Also, the starting occupation the hero selects can provide additional class skills to choose from.
:At 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level, the Charismatic hero selects a talent from the following talent trees. Some trees have a set order that must be followed, while others provide a list to choose from. As long as the hero qualifies, he or she can select freely from any and all talent trees. No talent can be selected more than once unless expressly indicated.
 
;Charm Talent Tree
:The Charismatic hero has an innate talent for being charming and captivating.
* Charm: The Charismatic hero gets a competence bonus on all Charisma-based skill checks made to influence members of his chosen gender. (Some characters are charming to members of the opposite gender, others to members of the same gender.) The bonus is equal to the character’s Charismatic level.
A Charismatic hero can only charm Gamemaster characters with attitudes of indifferent or better. The charm bonus can’t be used against characters who are unfriendly or hostile.
This ability can be taken more than once (for another gender).
* Favor: The Charismatic hero has the ability to acquire minor aid from anyone he or she meets. By making a favor check, a Charismatic hero can gain important information without going through the time and trouble of doing a lot of research. Favors can also be used to acquire the loan of equipment or documents, or to receive other minor assistance in the course of an adventure.
A Charismatic hero spends 1 action point to activate this talent. To make a favor check, roll a d20 and add the character’s favor bonus, equal to the character’s Charismatic level. The GM sets the DC based on the scope of the favor being requested. The DC ranges from 10 for a simple favor to as high as 30 for formidable and highly dangerous, expensive, or illegal favors. A Charismatic hero can’t take 10 or 20 on this check, nor can the hero retry the check for the same (or virtually the same) favor.  Favors should help advance the plot of an adventure. A favor that would enable a character to avoid an adventure altogether should always be unavailable to the character, regardless of the result of a favor check.
The GM should carefully monitor a Charismatic hero’s use of favors to ensure that this ability isn’t abused. The success or failure of a mission shouldn’t hinge on the use of a favor, and getting a favor shouldn’t replace good roleplaying or the use of other skills. The GM may disallow any favor deemed to be disruptive to the game.
** Prerequisite: Charm.
* Captivate: The Charismatic hero has the ability to temporarily beguile a target through the use of words and bearing. The target must have an Intelligence score of 3 or higher to be susceptible to a captivate attempt, must be within 30 feet of the hero, must be flat-footed or not in combat, and must be able to see, hear, and understand the hero.
To captivate a target, the hero must use an attack action and make a Charisma check (DC 15), adding his or her Charismatic level as a bonus. If the Charisma check succeeds, the target can try to resist.
The target resists the captivation attempt by making a Will saving throw (DC 10 + Charismatic hero’s class level + Charismatic hero’s Cha bonus). If the saving throw fails, the hero becomes the target’s sole focus. The target pays no attention to anyone else for 1 round and remains flat-footed. This focusing of the target’s attention allows other characters to take actions of which the captivated target is unaware. The effect ends immediately if the target is attacked or threatened.
A Charismatic hero can concentrate to keep a target captivated for additional rounds. The Charismatic hero concentrates all his or her effort on the task, and the target gets to make a new Will save each round. The effect ends when the hero stops concentrating, or when the target succeeds on the save. This is a Mind-Affecting ability.
** Prerequisites: Charm, Favor.
 
;Fast-Talk Talent Tree
:The Charismatic hero has an innate talent for bending the truth and dazzling others with a combination of words, mannerisms, and charm.
* Fast-Talk: The Charismatic hero has a way with words when attempting to con and deceive. With this talent, he or she applies his or her Charismatic level as a competence bonus on any Bluff, Diplomacy, or Gamble checks the hero makes while attempting to lie, cheat, or otherwise bend the truth.
* Dazzle: The Charismatic hero has the ability to dazzle a target through sheer force of personality, a winning smile, and fast-talking. The target must have an Intelligence score of 3 or higher to be susceptible to a dazzle attempt, must be within 30 feet of the hero, and must be able to see, hear, and understand the hero.
To dazzle a target, the hero must use an attack action and make a Charisma check (DC 15), adding his or her Charismatic level as a bonus. If the Charisma check succeeds, the target can try to resist.
The target resists the dazzle attempt by making a Will saving throw (DC 10 + Charismatic hero’s class level + Charismatic hero’s Cha bonus). If the save fails, the target receives a –1 penalty on attack rolls, ability checks, skill checks, and saving throws for a number of rounds equal to the character’s Charismatic level.
This talent can be selected multiple times, each time worsening the dazzled penalty by –1.  This is a Mind-Affecting ability.
** Prerequisite: Fast-talk.
* Taunt: The Charismatic hero has the ability to temporarily rattle a target through the use of insults and goading. The target must have an Intelligence score of 3 or higher to be susceptible to a taunt, must be within 30 feet of the hero, and must be able to hear and understand the hero.
To taunt a target, the hero must use an attack action and make a Charisma check (DC 15), adding his or her Charismatic level as a bonus. If the Charisma check succeeds, the target can try to resist.
The target resists the taunt by making a Will saving throw (DC 10 + Charismatic hero’s class level + Charismatic hero’s Cha bonus). If the save fails, the target becomes dazed (unable to act, but can defend normally) for 1 round.
A taunt can be played on an opponent any number of times.  This is a Mind-Affecting ability.
** Prerequisites: Fast-talk, dazzle.
 
;Leadership Talent Tree
:The Charismatic hero has a talent for leadership and inspiration.
* Coordinate: The Charismatic hero has a knack for getting people to work together. When the hero can spend a full round directing his or her allies and makes a Charisma check (DC 10), the hero provides any of his or her allies within 30 feet a +1 bonus on their attack rolls and skill checks. The bonus lasts for a number of rounds equal to the hero’s Charisma modifier.
The hero can coordinate a number of allies equal to one-half his or her Charismatic level, rounded down (to a minimum of one ally).
* Inspiration: The Charismatic hero can inspire his or her allies, bolstering them and improving their chances of success. An ally must listen to and observe the Charismatic hero for a full round for the inspiration to take hold, and the hero must make a Charisma check (DC 10). The effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to the hero’s Charisma modifier.
An inspired ally gains a +2 morale bonus on saving throws, attack rolls, and damage rolls.
A Charismatic hero can’t inspire him or herself. The hero can inspire a number of allies equal to one-half his or her Charismatic level, rounded down (to a minimum of one ally).
** Prerequisite: Coordinate.
* Greater Inspiration: The Charismatic hero can inspire his or her allies to even greater heights, bolstering them and improving their chances of success. An ally must listen to and observe the Charismatic hero for a full round for the greater inspiration to take hold, and the hero must make a Charisma check (DC 10). The effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to the hero’s Charisma modifier.
An inspired ally gains an additional +1 morale bonus on saving throws, attack rolls, and damage rolls, which stacks with the bonus from inspiration for a total of a +3 morale bonus.
A Charismatic hero can’t inspire him or herself. The hero can inspire a number of allies equal to one-half his or her Charismatic level, rounded down (to a minimum of one ally).
** Prerequisites: Coordinate, inspiration.

== Hero Points ==
 
The Future Hero class uses a customized version of the Hero Point optional rules. Hero Points replace the old MSRD Action Points.
 
The Future Hero class begins with 1 Hero Point and gains 1 Hero Point every level. There is no maximum number the Future Hero can have. The Future Hero then chooses any attribute to be associated with his Hero Points and the chosen attribute modifier is added to the total number of Hero Points. Once chosen, the attribute cannot be later changed.
 
Hero Points = 1 + (chosen attribute modifier) + level.
 
The Future Hero can spend a number of Hero Points each round equal to 1+1/2 level.
 
Hero Points can be used in a variety ways. For example if a Talent says “Once per day (or for 1 Hero Point)”, this represents that the Talent can be used once a day and if a Hero Point is spent, the Talent can be activated again.
 
Hero Points that are spent in the normal fashion (Bonuses, Extra Actions, Cheat Death...etc.) will be permanently lost as per standard rules.
 
Your campaign type will also determine the rate your Hero Points are replenished.
Campaign Type Example
Low Power Hero Points are permanently spent. Hero Points are gained at 1 per level + (your chosen ability modifier) and with additional various bonuses. There is no maximum number you can have.
Standard Power Hero Points are not permanently spent and are replenished after a level is gained. Hero Points are gained at 1 per level + (your chosen ability modifier) and with additional various bonuses. There is no maximum number you can have.
High Power Hero Points are not permanently spent and are replenished after each adventure. Hero Points are gained at a rate of 1 per level + (your chosen ability modifier) and with additional various bonuses. There is no maximum number you can have.
Epic Power Hero Points are not permanently spent, but are replenished after 8 hours of complete rest. Hero Points are gained at a rate of 1 per level + (your chosen ability modifier) and with additional various bonuses. There is no maximum number you can have.

Here is 6 main Future Path Character Paths. This is the foundation of a Future Path hero. The Path chosen is the framework upon which a Future character is built. You can further customize your Hero as they progress by adding an Advance Class and for more advanced players ArchTypes, and Prestige Classes.

NOTE: If you choose the Ovex species they have there own custom Path here.


Path Features

The following are features that help define the Character Path features. The main things that make each Path stand out from each other are Ability Affinity, Hit Die and the Talent Trees. All these things are explained below in more detail.

Ability Affinity
This entry tells which ability the core class is associated with and has an "Affinity" for. This means that whenever doing a Saving Throw for that Ability you add the Core Classes "Advantage Die" as an extra modifier to the roll.
Editing Character Sheet: This is located on the first page to the left just below Touch and Flat-Footed.
Hit Die
The die type used by characters of the class to determine the number of hit points gained per level. A player rolls one die of the given type each time his or her character gains a new level. The character’s Constitution modifier is applied to the roll. Add the result to the character’s hit point total. Even if the result is 0 or lower, the character always gains at least 1 hit point.
First Level: A 1st-level character gets the maximum hit points rather than rolling (The Constitution modifier is still applied).
Level Up Average: This is the number of hit points (not including Conn mod) that a Character can gain instead of rolling for it. It is usually half the total possible for the die +1. There are more rules on the Character Creation and Advancement page.
Class Skills provided by Path
This section of a class description provides a list of class skills and also gives the number of skill points the character gains each level which implies how many skill points a Character starts out at level 1. A character’s Intelligence modifier is applied to determine the total skill points gained each level (but always at least 1 point per level, even for a character with an Intelligence penalty).
Editing Character Sheet: This is located on the first page to the right. It is the large column that takes up most of the right side of the first page. The title is 'SKILLS'. This is where skills are recorded. Each skill has a box that can be checked to record if the skill is a class skill or not that is located to the very far left of the skill name. There are actually two boxes. One for 'Class' and one for 'Trained'. For all class skills, you can check the box under the 'Class' section.
To learn more about skills you can go to the Skill Basics page.
To learn more about spending skill points you can go to Allocate Skill Points on the Character Creation and Advancement page.
Skill Points at Each Additional Level
This is how many Skill points a new character gets each time they level up including level 1. It is either 1 + Int Mod or 2 + Int Mod.
Recommended Advance Classes
This is a recommendation of advanced classes that you can choose from. This is not a restriction nor a requirement. A player is free to choose whatever path they imagine there Character taking as long as it follows the rules. These are merrily suggestions to help a newer player make a choice.
Starting Feats
This is a section for all the default starting Feats. There are a few that are default for all Core Classes and may only be removed if an Advance Class restricts the Feat. To learn more about Feats review the Feats page here.
Path Table (Located to the right of the Character Path Section)
This table details how a character improves as he or she attains higher levels in the Path. It includes the following information.
  • Character’s Level: The character’s total level.
  • Advantage Die: This is an extra Die that the Player gets to roll and add to any roll when doing an action or using a weapon that they have an 'Affinity'/'Proficiency' or otherwise has an advantage. It is also what the Character will add if the situation puts the Character at a disadvantage. To learn more review the Advantage page.
  • Path Features: This entry details special characteristics of the Path, including feats and unique talents, that are gained as a character level up. Each is explained below:
    • Talents: Every Path offers a selection of talents to choose from. A character gains a talent at 1st level and 6th, 12th, 18th levels.
    • Feats: Every Path offers Starting Feats to choose from. A Character gains a Feat at 3rd, 9th, 15th levels.
  • Extra Damage: This grants the Character the ability to deal Extra damage once per turn as a full round action.
  • Custom Character Bonus: Here the character chooses between an Ability Score bonus of 2 additional Ability points to be added to any 2 or 1 Ability. of there choice or a Bonus Feat from the Misc Category. They gain this choice at 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, 20th levels.
