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.

: At 1st, 6th, 12th and 18th 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.
: At 1st, 6th, 12th and 18th level, the Smart Hero gains a Talent. You must select a Talent tree to follow.


;Research Talent Tree
; Research Talent Tree
:The Smart hero has a natural aptitude for study and fact-finding. These talents can be selected in any order.
: The Smart hero has a natural aptitude for study and fact-finding. Take the following '''in 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 1/4th his or her Smart level round up 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), Demolitions, Disable Device, Study, Knowledge (any single skill), Pilot.  
# Research: Gain a +1 Misc bonus to any Intelligence based Skill.
* Linguist: This Character can learn new Languages by just being exposed. If exposed to an unknown language wither by the written word or through hearing it the Hero can make a Language Skill check with a DC of 25 + Misc Mods (The GM may add modifiers based on how obscure the language is). If they succeed then the Hero gets to put that language down with 1 rank in it. Any more ranks in the language still require the normal progression using skill points. They can do this even if that means they have learned more languages then there Language skill will allow.  
# Book Worm: Gain a +2 Misc bonus to the Study skill.
** <u>Prerequisites</u>: At least 2 ranks in the Language skill.
# Savant: Select any one Knowledge or one Crafting skill to be a class skill.
* Book Worm: When given the chance to use the 'Study' skill while taking twenty the Smart Hero can instead choose too take 30 minutes. This allows for an auto 20 + Auto max skill die + Advantage die roll. For example if the Advantage Dice is 1d6 and the Skill level is 2 and thus 1d4 then that means it would be 20(auto max) + 4(auto max) + 1d4(needs to roll).
# Improved Research: Gain another +1 Misc bonus to any Intelligence base Skill.


;Strategy Talent Tree
; 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.
: The Smart hero has the brainpower to see solutions in most situations. Take the following '''in order'''.
* 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. 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, for the rest of the combat the Smart hero uses his or her Intelligence bonus instead of either Strength or Dexterity bonus on accuracy checks as the hero finds ways to out think his opponent and notices weaknesses in his opponent’s fighting style.  
# Strategy:  Once per combat the Smart hero can use her Intelligence mod instead of Strength or Dexterity for an accuracy check against an opponent.
** <u>Prerequisites</u>: 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 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.  
* Plan: If the party has the 'jump' on the target, in other words they have a surprise round, 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 12 + Number of opponents in surprise round) with a bonus equal to half his or her Smart level round down. The result of the check provides the Smart hero and participating allies with a circumstance advantage bonus for the first 1d4 rounds. A Smart hero can’t take 10 or 20 when making this check. This bonus can be applied to all skill checks and attack rolls made by the Smart hero and his or her allies.  
# 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.
** <u>Prerequisites</u>: One talent from the Research Talent Tree.
# Advanced Strategy: This is Improved Strategy except now the Hero can use this ability twice per opponent and the bonus is +2
* Trick: The Smart hero has the ability to temporarily confuse a target through the use of ploy and deception. This is similar to the Feint Combat Technique except it uses Inelegance and can daze the target. The target must have an Intelligence score of 3 or higher to be susceptible to a trick, 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 +  CR rating above Character Level), adding half his or her Smart level round down 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 Wisdom saving throw (DC 10 + half Smart hero’s class level round down + 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.
** <u>Prerequisites</u>: One talent from the Research Talent Tree.

# Advanced Awareness: The Dedicated hero chooses either [[Survival|Survival]] or [[Perception|Perception]] to gain a +1 Misc Bonus.
* Faith: The Dedicated hero has a great deal of faith. It might be faith in themselves, an an external power, or in both. This unswerving belief allows the Dedicated hero to add his or her Wisdom modifier to the die roll whenever the hero spends 1 Inertia point to improve the result of an attack roll, skill check, saving throw, or ability check.
** <u>Prerequisites</u>: This requires the [[Inertia]] rules to be in game. Ask your GM.

: At 1st, 6th, 12th and 18th level, the Charismatic Hero gains a Talent. You must select a Talent tree to follow.
 
;Persuasive Talent Tree
:The Charismatic hero has an innate talent for being charming and captivating.
* Charm: The Charismatic hero gets a competence advantage bonus on all Charisma-based skill checks made to influence members of a chosen gender. (Some characters are charming to members of the opposite gender, others to members of the same gender.) A Charismatic hero can only charm GM characters with attitudes of indifferent or better and of a sentient species. 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).
* Captivate: The Charismatic hero has the ability to temporarily beguile a target through the use of words and bearing. The target must be a sentient species, and must be able to see, hear, and understand the hero. To do this the hero takes one minute and make a Charisma check (DC 15 + Misc Mods). If successful the target is enthralled by the Hero and will then be far more likely too assist and even do requests or favors. They stay Captivated for 1d4 days. If the request goes beyond the days they are Captivated then there is an increasing chance they will not follow through. This cannot be done while in combat or against a already hostile target. This cannot be attempted once per target.
** <u>Prerequisites</u>: Charm
 
;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, the Charismatic hero gets an [[Advantage|advantage]] bonus on any Bluff, Diplomacy, intimidate checks the hero makes while attempting to lie, cheat, or otherwise bend the truth. This doesn't work while in combat.
* Dazzle: The Charismatic hero has the ability to dazzle The target must be a sentient species, and must be able to see, hear, and understand the hero. To do this the hero must use a full round action and make a Charisma check (DC 20 + Misc Mods),  If the Charisma check succeeds, the target can try to resist with a Wisdom saving throw (DC 10 + half Charismatic level round down + Cha Mod). 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 however each time the DC is reduced by 1.  This is a Mind-Affecting ability.
** <u>Prerequisites</u>: Fast-talk.
* Taunt: The Charismatic hero has the ability to temporarily rattle a target through the use of insults and goading. The target must be a sentient species, and must be able to see, hear, and understand the hero. To do this the hero must use a full round action and make a Charisma check (DC 15 + Misc Mods). If the Charisma check succeeds, the target can try to resist with a Wisdom saving throw (DC 10 + half Charismatic level round down + Cha Mod). 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 is considered flat-footed. That target also looses all advantages and takes disadvantage when doing any action against the Charismatic hero for 1 round.
** <u>Prerequisites</u>: 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 + number of people), the hero provides any of his or her allies within 30 feet a +1 bonus on their accuracy checks 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 12 + number of people). The effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to the hero’s Charisma modifier. An inspired ally gains an advantage bonus on saving throws. A Charismatic hero can’t inspire him or herself. And can only do this once per person per combat encounter.
** <u>Prerequisites</u>: 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 15). The effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to the hero’s Charisma modifier. An inspired ally gains an additional advantage bonus on saving throws and now also an advantage on accuracy checks. A Charismatic hero can’t inspire him or herself. This replaces Inspiration and can only be done once per combat.
** <u>Prerequisites</u>: Coordinate, inspiration.
 
== Multi Core Class ==


Future Path takes a more simplistic approach and states that your Core class is more like a solid foundation that helps define what your character is. The Character Level is also the Core Class level. However at the same time Future Path tries not to restricted player creativity. To accomplish this the Player can also Multi Core Class. This section discusses Multi Core Classing. You can read up on Multi  Advance Class rules [[Advance_Classes#Multiclass|here]].
; Persuasive Talent Tree
: The Charismatic hero has an innate talent for being charming and captivating. Take the following '''in order'''.
# Persuasive: The Charismatic Hero chooses between [[Diplomacy|Diplomacy]] or [[Intimidate|Intimidate]] skills to gain a +1 Misc bonus.
# Inspirational: The Charismatic Hero can try to be inspirational while aiding another. They gain an advantage to add another, and the help provides an additional +2 bonus.  
# Improved Persuasion: The Charismatic Hero chooses between [[Diplomacy|Diplomacy]] or [[Intimidate|Intimidate]] skills to gain a +1 Misc bonus.
# Advanced Persuasion: The Charismatic Hero chooses between [[Diplomacy|Diplomacy]] or [[Intimidate|Intimidate]] skills to gain a +1 Misc bonus.


When the Character levels up its Core Class levels up with them along with any advance classes that may be associated. For now we will focus only on Core Classes. To have more then one Core Class the next time a Character levels up take a level in a new Core Class. (A Character can only have two Core Classes) For example Roxanna is an level 3 Charismatic Character. When she gains enough experience to level up she can choose to take a level in the Path of Wisdom. Now she is a Level 4 Character with 3 levels in Path of Charisma and 1 level in the Path of Wisdom. At this point her Character level and Core Class level is different. When she gains level 5 she can choose to put a level in either Charisma or Wisdom.
; Beguile Talent Tree
: The Charismatic hero has an innate talent for bending the truth and dazzling others with a combination of words, mannerisms, and charm. Take the following '''in order'''.
# Deceiver: The Charismatic Hero choosing between [[Bluff|Bluff]] or [[Disguise|Disguise]] skills to gain a +1 Misc bonus.
# Charm: The Charismatic hero gets a competence advantage bonus on all Charisma-based skill checks made to influence members of a chosen gender. (Some characters are charming to members of the opposite gender, others to members of the same gender.) A Charismatic hero can only charm GM characters with attitudes of indifferent or better and of a sentient species. The charm bonus can’t be used against characters who are unfriendly or hostile.
# Improved Deceiver: The Charismatic Hero choosing between [[Bluff|Bluff]] or [[Disguise|Disguise]] skills to gain a +1 Misc bonus.
# Advanced Deceiver: The Charismatic Hero choosing between [[Bluff|Bluff]] or [[Disguise|Disguise]] skills to gain a +1 Misc bonus.


Some extra rules:
; Leadership Talent Tree
# Advantage Die is calculated by the first Core Class chosen.
: The Charismatic hero has a talent for leadership and inspiration. Take the following '''in order'''.
# Players may only pick talents out of whatever classes gained a new level.
# 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 + number of people), the hero provides any of his or her allies within 30 feet a +1 bonus on their accuracy checks and skill checks. This lasts for 1d4 rounds. The hero can only coordinate up to 3 party members, and this does not include themselves.
# Skill points gained is calculated by whatever Core class gained a new level.
# Confidence: Once per day the Charismatic Hero can gather his or her's confidence to gain an advantage on any Charisma-based check.
# HP gained is calculated by the rules for whatever Core class gained a new level.
# Improved Coordinate: Like Coordinate except it provides a +2 bonus and lasts for 1d6 rounds.
# The character gains no bonus for having classes with the same class skill.
# Advanced Coordinate: Like Coordinate except it provides a +3 bonus and lasts for 1d8 rounds.
# Whenever a new Talent, Feat, Ability Score bonus is gained is based solely on '''Character Level''' not on Core Class level. There location on each table is the same and is based on Character level meaning that Level 3 Smart Hero that levels up and decides to also be a Strong Hero doesn't get to pick a new talent until Character level 6th at which point he first must pick which Core Class too level sense that will determine which Talent's will be available to pick from.

Latest revision as of 04:13, 18 May 2019

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.
