Character Path
Here is the is the list of The Future Path Core Classes. This is the foundation of a Future Path hero. The Core Class is the framework upon which a Future character is built. The Future Hero comes from many different walks of life. You can further customize your hero as they progress by adding an Advance Class and for more advance players ArchTypes, and Prestige Classes.
Class Features
The following are features that help define a Core Class. The main things that make each core class 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 when ever 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
- 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 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 advance classes that you can choose from. This is not a restriction nor a requirement. A player is free too 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.

- Talents:Every basic class offers a selection of talents to choose from. A character gains a talent upon attaining each odd-numbered level in a class (including 1st level). Talents are considered to be extraordinary abilities. Some talents have prerequisites that must be met before a character can select them.

- The Charismatic hero has a talent for leadership and inspiration. Take the following in order.
- 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.
- Confidence: Once per day the Charismatic Hero can gather his or her's confidence to gain an advantage on any Charisma based check.
- Improved Coordinate: Like Coordinate except it provides a +2 bonus and lasts for 1d6 rounds.
- Advanced Coordinate: Like Coordinate except it provides a +3 bonus and lasts for 1d8 rounds.
