Character Classes: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 03:15, 29 May 2026

Below is a list of Character Classes that provide more specific features to a Character. They can also help focus a Character's role in both combat and roleplay. Think of it as answering the questions "What do I do?" or "What am I capable of?"

Each class starts with a description of the Class that may have some 'flavor text'. Then there are Requirements, Restrictions, Class Information (which includes a table), and lastly Class Talents. All Character Classes require your character to be at least level 2. Requirements are centered around the Path picked or Ability scores. Restrictions can stop a player from taking the class or risk the punishment of no longer having that feature.

Near the top right of the Character sheet are a couple of different sections for writing down things such as Character and Player Name. There is also a section titled: "Character Classes and Levels". This is the same place you put your Path. You can also specify what Character Class you are and what level you have in it.

NOTE: All the mentions of levels noted in the sections below refer to the specific Class of that section unless specified otherwise. IE: If in Combat Medic it says "At level 2" that means when the Character reaches Level 2 Combat Medic regardless of actual Character level.

Combat Medic

3rd	Advanced Pharmaceuticals
4th	Field Procedure (Choice)
5th	Bonus Feat

"No one gets left behind." That is the motto of a Combat Medic. To fight death is to fight the true enemy of war. Combat Medics rush out to danger zones and attempt to heal or transport the wounded into safe zones. After many years of service, they take their skill to the frontiers of space where the services of a Combat Medic are never refused.

Choose the Combat Medic if you want to be a versatile support specialist who can heal, buff allies, or even use chemistry as an offensive weapon.

The fastest path to the Combat Medic is through the Path of Wisdom (Dedicated Hero), though other paths are possible.

Requirements:

Level: At least Level 2
Path: Path of Wisdom OR Ability: Wisdom Score 15+ OR Ability: Dexterity Score 15+ and Wisdom score of 12+

Class Information:

Ability Affinity: Wisdom and Dexterity

Class Skills: Acrobatics (Dex), Craft [ Chemical, Pharmaceutical ], Pick Any One Knowledge(Int), Profession (Wis), Survival (Wis), Treat Injury (Wis)

Combat Medic's Class Talents

Medic!: At Combat Medic 1st level, the Combat Medic can more quickly help people in need of aid. Treat Injury skill checks can now be done as a Bonus Action that is granted after performing a Standard Action (Move). The Medic does not need to move any distance to gain this Bonus Action (e.g., preparing tools while standing next to an ally). This only counts for restoring HP, not for stabilizing a dying character.

Note: While using skills or items in combat normally requires a Standard Action, this feature allows the Treat Injury skill to be performed specifically as a Bonus Action following a move.

When a natural 20 is rolled for a Treat Injury skill check, an Inertia point is earned, and the Health restored is the maximum possible.

Quick Chemistry: At 1st level, the Combat Medic can craft general chemicals and pharmaceuticals more quickly. When using the Craft (Chemical) or Craft (Pharmaceutical) skill to cook General Equipment items, the Combat Medic reduces the cooking/brewing time by 1/2.

At 5th level, the Combat Medic reduces the cooking/brewing time of masterworked chemical concoctions by half.

Extra Curricular Brewing: You were a class favorite in the academy. Your teachers thought you worked extra hard, even outside of class. Little did they know your hard work was making and experimenting with advanced biochemistry. In other words, you made drugs that could get you high or beer that could get you drunk. People were unsure whether your motivation was rebellion or simply an effort to expand your knowledge beyond the textbook. Regardless of the reasons, you learned the best way to make all sorts of chemicals that can 'enhance' your experience. However, nowadays, you take your extracurricular activities into the real world and use them to help enhance yourself and your allies in the heat of battle.

Starting at 2nd level, the Combat Medic can craft Resistance Concoction and Boosters from the Medical Items list in combat as a Standard Action with a DC15 for non-Masterworked. +3 to DC for each Tech Level above their own or Masterworked level added. The Combat Medic will need a Chemistry or Pharmaceutical kit and a 'delivery method' such as a syringe to attempt the check. If successful, they will have a one-use-only drug. If the check fails, the 'delivery method' device is not used up, but the Chemistry or Pharmaceutical kit is still consumed.

Because it was made in a fast, dirty way, it quickly becomes useless within 4 hours. Resistance Concoctions only last 1d3 rounds. Boosters only last 12 seconds or 4 rounds.

The Drug will be located in there off-handd. They can administer the concoction to themselves as a Simple action.

At 6th level, this Craft Standard Action grants a Bonus Action that allows the Character to administer the concoction to others in range.

At the 10th level, the negative side effects of the Booster crafted this way are removed when administering it to oneself or to an ally they are familiar with. The term Familiar implies the Combat Medic has had time to study them to learn about their physiology.

Medical Specialty (Level 2 Choice)

At 2nd level, the Combat Medic chooses a specialty that defines their role in the squad.

A) Trauma Surgeon: Your focus is pure healing. When using the Treat Injury skill, you heal an additional +X HP per die rolled. X = 1/2 Combat Medic level, rounded down. You gain an Advantage on saving throws to resist being Dazed or Stunned if you have healed an ally in your last turn.
B) Toxicologist: You use your knowledge to hinder enemies. As a standard action, you can craft harmful "Injections". You need a Syringe and a Chemical or Pharmaceutical kit to attempt to craft the item. These deal Xd6 poison damage and apply the Shaken condition for 1d4 rounds on a successful melee touch attack. The Craft DC is 12, it is considered an opposing Constitution check to see if the Shaken condition is applied. X = per 2 Combat Medic levels, the Craft DC is beaten.
C) Pharmacist: You excel at supporting your teammates. Your crafted concoctions from Extra Curricular Brewing last 8 hours instead of 4. And Resistance Concoction and Boosters effects last the normal length of time in combat. Extra Curricular Brewing improvements come at levels 5 and 8 instead of 6 and 10. Allies using your drugs gain a +1 bonus to Advantage Dice that are rolled while the drug is affecting them.

Advanced Pharmaceuticals: At 3rd level, the Combat Medic gets better at applying their training. The limits for max skill ranks for Craft Pharmaceutical can be ignored, and you automatically gain 1 additional Rank in Pharmaceutical. Also, gains an Advantage when attempting to craft Pharmaceutical items outside of combat.

Field Procedure (Level 4 Choice)

At 4th level, the Combat Medic refines their battlefield techniques.

A) Helpful Hand: You gain another Advantage (max number of advantage die for any action is always 3) on Treat Injury checks both in and out of combat. Add your Advantage Die roll to the HP restored. You can never critically fail a Treat Injury check. At 7th level, a failure still restores +1HP per number of Dice that would have been rolled; at 10th level, it is +2HP.
B) Combat Cauterization: You can spend your Standard Action to instantly stabilize a dying ally within 5ft without having to roll for it. This action takes up the whole round and blocks any Simple or Bonus actions. If you perform any healing, including stabilizing, you gain a +1 AC bonus until your next turn as you focus on your defense. At 10th level, this becomes +2 AC.
C) Field Synthesis: You can now "Up-Tech" any Chemical or Pharmaceutical item to your current Tech Level in the field without a professional lab, provided you have the correct Professional Kit. Additionally, when you craft these items, you use 25% fewer materials and for 1/2 the time, demonstrating your ability to minimize waste. The barrier to crafting masterwork Chemical or Pharmaceutical items is reduced by 1.

Bonus Feat: At 5th level, the Combat Medic gains a Bonus Feat from: Leadership & Companions, Space Ship Operations, or Misc Feats.

Advanced Mobility (Level 6 Choice)

At 6th level, the Combat Medic improves their ability to navigate and overall mobility.

A) Rapid Intervention: You gain +10ft movement of base speed while in combat. If moving to perform a Medic! ability, you are no longer affected by rough terrain or zero-gravity environments.
B) Evasive Triage: When moving toward an ally with less than 50% HP, you do not trigger Tactical Opportunities from enemies, and any enemy attempting to hit you with a Ranged weapon takes disadvantage until your next turn.
C) Covering Fire Medic: While holding a one-handed ranged weapon, and moving toward a wounded ally, gain a Bonus Action of Suppressing Fire. Do not gain any disadvantages for attacking using a Bonus Action, treat this attack as if it were a Standard Attack Action using Suppression Fire.

I'm there for you!: At 7th level, if not already Exhausted, the Combat Medic can choose to act in both groups. If they are in the Vanguard, then they may act in the Rearguard's phase as well. The extra action must be an attempt to heal, restore, or stabilize a fallen ally, and they cannot, in this extra action, do anything that would directly bring harm to an ally or enemy. The same goes for if they are already in the Rearguard: they may act in the next rounds of Vanguard before their normal turn in the Rearguard. Doing this gives the Character Fatigued condition; if already Fatigued, then they become Exhausted. A Combat Medic cannot do this twice in a row.

In-Field Chemistry: At 7th level, the Combat Medic gains an Advantage when attempting to Identify, Study, or Craft an antidote for poisons, acids, or diseases. This advantage stacks with others. A Combat Medic doesn't need Knowledge (Science) to perform Identify; they can use Study or Craft (Pharmaceuticals), whichever of the three skills is highest. The Combat Medic cannot critically fail crafting an antidote.

Resolve: At 8th level, a Combat Medic gains a morale bonus equal to 1/2 their class level (round down) on saving throws to resist fear effects and Intimidate checks, or any Wisdom saving throw against Techniques.

Never gonna let you go: At 9th level, a Combat Medic can stabilize a character as a Simple Action even while in combat. No roll is needed if using a Medical Kit. If the Combat Medic has picked Combat Cauterization then this becomes a Free Action.

Medical Capstone (Level 10 Choice)

At 10th level, the Combat Medic reaches the peak of their profession.

A) Biological Weakness: As a Simple Action, make a Knowledge (Science) check (DC 15) to identify a target's weakness. If successful, gain an additional Advantage on attacks against that target for the rest of the combat. This can only be attempted once per target.
B) Miracle Resuscitation: Once per day, as a Standard Action, you can bring a character who died within the last 9 seconds or 3 rounds back to 1 HP. They are Unconscious for 1d4 rounds and upon waking up, they are Exhausted, but alive.
C) Stimulant Overdrive: You can inject an ally (or yourself) with a volatile stimulant. For 1d4 rounds, the target gains an Extra Damage stat, and the threshold for all Extra Damage is shifted down by 1 die. Their base movement is increased by +10ft. The target becomes Fatigued immediately after the effect ends.

Scarlet looked up at the unfamiliar night sky. The sky was an unexpected reminder of the odd day she had. Just yesterday her world was much smaller. Today it is larger than the Universe itself. She had fought weird monsters and traveled to a new dimension and now looked tried from her experiences. She laded down in an alien field staring up at unknown stars. The galaxy this planet was in wasn't shaped like the Milky Way. In the Milky Way the 'Ring of Life' is visible on all worlds. Instead, this galaxy was a blob of stars only mostly round in shape. Notable by the brighter brownish hue that dominated the southern hemisphere.

She wondered what other things are different about this galaxy. About this dimension. And the strange man that brought her here. He explained mostly by showing. A direct and somewhat terrifying approach. He mentioned about how she had recently 'awoken' her powers and that it sent some 'ripple' through inter-dimensional static that he and his order listen closely too. She could tell he had done this sort of thing before. He left to get food a while ago. Leaving her alone with her thoughts and more questions than answers and, the sudden realization that her life will never be the same.

What is this order? And why are they so interested in finding me before anybody else? Why do I have these powers? And just how far can I take them?

It wasn't until much later that Scarlet got her answers. She now patrols the cosmos protecting it from itself making sure rifts in space-time do not cause irreparable harm. And stopping other Orders of Knights who also possess such powers from generating them.

Player's pick Dimensional Knight if they want Character's that travel far and wide under the clock of a secret Order which has its goals rooted within the fabric of the cosmos itself.

The fastest path into this advanced class is through the Path of Strength (Strong Hero).

Requirements: To qualify to become a Dimension Knight, a character must fulfill the following criteria.

Level: At least Level 2
Path: Path of Strength OR Ability: Strength Score 15+ OR Ability: Wisdom Score 15+ and Strength score of 12+
Order: At level 1, the character must pick an Order to follow (Unity, Divergent, or Nature).

Restrictions:

Dimension Knights swear off guns. They use special melee weapons. A Knight gets his saber or other melee weapon of choice once he or she is knighted. Practice and patience reveals what type of melee weapon a Dimension Knight favors.

Class Information:

Ability Affinity: Strength and Wisdom

Class Skills: Athletics (Str), Intimidate (Cha/Str), Choose Any One Knowledge (Int), Study (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), and Survival (Wis).

Dimension Knight's Core Class Talents

Order Choice

At Dimension Knight 1st level, the character must pledge themselves to an Order. This choice determines your specialized Order Talents at levels 1, 5, and 10.

Order of Unity: Dedicated to protecting the multiverse from collision and chaos. Focuses on stabilization and defense.
Order of the Divergent: Believes in using dimensional power to reshape reality. Focuses on offensive rifts and gravity manipulation.
Order of Nature: Views rifts as natural phenomena that should run their course. Focuses on chaotic probability and temporal shifts.

Detect Rift: Starting at 1st level, you are sensitive to the fabric of reality. You gain a +5 bonus to your Passive Perception for noticing spacetime anomalies (rifts, active FTL drives, or phased objects) within 100ft + 10ft per (STR Mod + WIS Mod). In Space this extends to 1000km + 100km per (STR Mod + WIS Mod).; Active Use: As a Simple Action (Utility), you can perform a Perception check to pinpoint the exact origin or destination of a disturbance. This provides no combat bonuses.

Weapon Training (Spatial Call): At 3rd level, you gain the Melee Weapon Focus feat. You also form a spatial bond with a single melee weapon you are proficient with. As a Simple Action, you can open a micro-rift to "call" this weapon to your hand from anywhere within 100ft, provided it is not secured in a way that prevents its movement. If the weapon is being held by another, it requires an opposing Strength check to retrieve it.

Gate Traveler (Utility): At 5th level, you can manipulate travel gates. As a Standard Action (out of combat), you can attempt to Open, Close, or Stabilize an existing rift using a Survival check (DC 15-40). Two-way gates are more difficult (+5 DC). You can assist allies through a gate to prevent side effects like the Nauseated condition.

A Dimension Knight cannot know where the gate leads or if the gate is two way or not A Gate may open up into a water world and send water and alien fish creatures into your own spacetime. A Knight cannot create new gates at this level.

Combat Gate: At 6th level, you can fold space in the heat of battle. As a Standard Action, you can teleport to an empty square adjacent to a friendly ally within Line of Sight, or teleport back to the exact square you occupied at the start of your previous turn. This movement is instantaneous and does not trigger Tactical Opportunities. This Standard Action provides the option between a Bonus Attack Action or a Bonus Move Action (the movement base speed is considered the Character's walk speed in this case).

At 10th level, this can be done once per encounter as a Simple Action instead of a Standard Action. In this case a Bonus Action is not earned when using Combat Gate as a Simple Action.

No Place Like Home: At 7th level, you can mark a location in Spacetime by meditating there for 24 hours (Study DC 20). You can maintain a number of marked locations equal to your Wisdom Modifier. Once per day, (out of combat), you can open a stable two-way gate to a marked location that stays open for 1 minute. The Dimension Knight doesn't need to make Survival checks to transverse this gate. Any friendly can do so with a DC8 while any unknown or unwanted person's DC is 20.

This can only be done once per day until level 10 when a Dimension Knight can do this twice per day. Also, one location can be chosen as the Knight's Favored location and can make a 1 way gate using this process as many times as they want.

Once the gate is closed it will leave a 'mark' that is detectable with a Perception check or passively. The DC is 5 + 1 per hour after the gate was closed. Once the DC reaches 45 it is no longer considered detectable. Another Knight can use their Gate Traveler abilities on it to re-open the gate.

Expert Weapon Training (Spatial Edge): At 8th level, you gain a bonus feat from the Melee Weapon Combat category. Additionally, your strikes bypass standard material density; your melee attacks ignore an amount of Damage Reduction (DR) equal to your Wisdom Modifier.

Always Suited (Dimensional Armory): At 9th level, you gain a +1 bonus to your Armor Proficiency tree. You can also store your favored armor and weapons in a personal sub-dimension. You can summon your gear to appear instantly equipped on your body, or dismiss it back to the rift. Out of combat this takes ~2 seconds. In combat it is a Standard Action that grants a Bonus Move Action.

Mirror Universe: At 10th level, once per encounter as a Free Action, the Dimension Knight can pull a mirror copy of themselves to act in combat in the other team group (Vanguard/Rearguard). The Mirror copy must act differently (i.e., attack a different target, or use a different action).

Whatever the mirror Knight has the same limits and conditions you have. The same stats, hp, damage, number of techniques used etc... If they choose to preform a Dimension Trick/Technique then that Technique is also considered used by you. Any damage taken is also taken by you and vice-versa. This mirror universe version disappears at the end of the turn.

The Orders of Dimension Knights

Since the dawn of sentience, Dimension Knights have wandered the fabric of time. The source of their power remains a mystery, but as these lone heroes eventually coalesced, they formed the Order of Unity—an organization dedicated to preventing a catastrophic collision of the multiverse.

Internal doubt eventually fractured the Order, giving rise to The Divergent. Citing ancient texts from the first dimensional heroes, this breakaway faction claimed a deeper understanding of their powers that fundamentally contradicted Unity’s mission. The resulting schism sparked the Dimensional War, a secret conflict that bent the very fabric of spacetime and nearly rendered both orders extinct.

For millions of years, the survivors remained in shadow. As the cosmos healed, a new generation of knights emerged, rekindling old grudges. Amidst this tension, the Order of Nature (or Chaos Knights) appeared. A loose collection of outcasts and ex-members, they believe spacetime rifts are natural phenomena that should be left to run their course, regardless of the cost. For many, this order is a sanctuary, as deserting the older orders is still punishable by death.

Order of Unity Talents

Level 1: Rift Warden; You gain an Advantage Die when using `Gate Traveler` to Close or Stabilize a rift. Additionally, as a Simple Action, you can "anchor" an ally within 10ft; they gain a +2 bonus on their next saving throw against being moved, tripped, or teleported against their will.

Level 5: Sanctuary Path; You gain the `No Place Like Home` ability (normally level 7) early, but it is restricted to a single location: the Order’s hidden Temple. This access is a stable two-way gate and does not count against the total number of marked locations you can maintain at level 7.

Level 6: Guardian Swap (Combat Gate Enhancement); Your Combat Gate feature is improved. When you use Combat Gate, you may choose to swap positions with a willing ally within 30ft instead of teleporting to an empty square. If you swap, that ally gains a +2 Dodge bonus to AC until the start of your next turn.

Level 10

Singularity Aegis

You can collapse a point in space to both hinder enemies and protect your squad. As a Standard Action, you generate a microsingularity at a point within 60ft (Wisdom Check vs DC 18).

Persistence: The singularity persists for 1 round per Wisdom or Strength mod, Players choice. Each round as a Free Action the Dimension knight can move it up to 30ft. However, the damage only happens first round.
Offense: Creatures within 20ft are pulled 10ft toward the center. Enemies within 5ft take `Xd6 + Wisdom Modifier` Gravity damage (X = amount the check beat the DC, max 10).
Defense: Ranged attacks cannot fire through the Singularity. Any shoots that pass within 20ft of the singularity suffer a Disadvantage Die for accuracy and Damage as the void pulls at the projectiles.
Frequency: Once per day (twice at Character Level 20).

Order of the Divergent Talents

Level 1: Weight of the Void; You gain an Advantage Die when using `Gate Traveler` to Open or Make Unstable a rift. Additionally, as a Simple Action, you can manipulate gravity around a target within 30ft. The target must roll a Strength saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 DK level + WIS Mod) or have its AC Bonus from Dexterity reduced by half (round up) as well as movement speed reduced by half (round down) until the start of your next turn.

Level 5: Extra Training; You gain a bonus feat from the Melee Weapon Combat or Two-Weapon Fighting category. Using your own personal skills and kinship with the specific Weapon from Weapon Training (Spatial Call) you are able to re-craft this weapon and either uptech it or Masterwork level up by 1. This craft check is an auto success.

Level 6: Dimensional Tear (Combat Gate Enhancement); Your Combat Gate feature is improved. When you use Combat Gate, you may choose to leave a "Dimensional Tear" in the square you just left. This tear lasts for 1 round. Any enemy entering or starting their turn in or adjacent to that square takes `1d6 + WIS Mod` Gravity damage and is considered Unlucky on their next accuracy check.

Level 10

The White Hole

You summon a point of pure entropy that reverses local physics. As a Standard Action, you generate a burst of energy within 60ft + 5ft per (STR Mod + WIS Mod) (Wisdom Check vs DC 18).

Entropy Burst: All enemies within 25ft take `Xd6` damage (X = amount the check beat the DC, max 10). This damage counts as Kinetic, Energy, Thermal, and Chemical simultaneously; targets with a weakness to any of these types take double damage.
Temporal Push: Targets damaged this way are violently pushed 15ft away from the center. If they strike a solid object, they must succeed on a Constitution save (DC 15) or be Stunned for 1 round.
Frequency: Once per day (twice at Character Level 20).

Order of Nature Talents

Level 1: Chaos Intuition; You gain an Advantage Die when using `Gate Traveler` to traverse a rift. Additionally, you are uniquely attuned to the presence of other knights; you gain an Advantage Die on all Passive or active Perception checks made to detect another Dimension Knight or a hidden "mark" left by the `No Place Like Home` ability.

Level 5: Master of Tricks; You gain an additional Dimensional Trick. You may ignore one order-based prerequisite for this specific trick, representing your order's disregard for traditional boundaries.

Level 6: Entropic Flicker (Combat Gate Enhancement); Your Combat Gate feature is improved. When you use Combat Gate, you briefly flicker through multiple timelines. You gain Luck (roll 2d20, take the highest) on the next accuracy check or saving throw you make before the start of your next turn.

Level 10

Into the Maelstrom

You unleash a localized storm of chaotic probability. As a Standard Action, you roll a percentile die (d100) to determine the result (Wisdom Check vs DC 18):

1-30 (Implosion): Deals 6d8 gravity damage in a 20ft radius at a point you specify. This pulls all targets 10ft toward the center.
31-60 (Temporal Flash): All enemies in a 30ft radius must succeed on a Wisdom save (DC 14 + STR Mod + WIS Mod) or be Dazed for 1d4 rounds as they are overwhelmed by visions of alternate futures.
61-90 (Dimensional Surge): You and all allies within 30ft gain an additional Standard Action that can be utilized in the other combat group (Vanguard/Rearguard) this round.
91-100 (Grand Rift): A temporary two-way gate opens to a random alternate universe for 1 + 1d4 rounds. All combatants and objects within 50ft are sucked in unless they succeed on a Dexterity or Acrobatics saving throw (DC 20).
Frequency: Once per day (twice at Character Level 20).

Dreadnought

Table: The Dreadnought
Class Level	Special
1st	Ability Surge, Ideology Bonus
2nd	Dreadnought’s Discipline (Choice), Well Grounded
3rd	Unhindered, Steamroller
4th	Ideology Talent, Resolve
5th	Bonus Feat
6th	Dreadnought’s Discipline (Choice)
7th	Heavy Artillery
8th	Greater Surge
9th	Tirelessly, Ideology Mastery
10th	Dreadnought’s Discipline (Choice)

Science continues to expand the knowledge of the human form. As well as all other species biology. Advanced Civilizations have not wasted such information. Wishing to bring the best out of its people, different governments, religious groups, and various factions have followed the lessons learned to know what specific exercise, diet, vitamin supplements, and even advanced surgical operations are necessary to help shape the best of whatever species is in question. Most governments have programs for helping make enhanced super soldiers, while religious groups may use this knowledge to help define a strict discipline routine for devout followers. Other factions may have different, potentially sinister plans.

The term Dreadnought was coined at some point in history, and it has stuck for thousands of years. Likely because the people who underwent these regimes became like the Dreadnought Spaceships used in war. Dreadnoughts are fearsome ships with both a massive amount of armor and weapons. Sometimes referred to as the "Walking Tank" a Dreadnought excels at breaking down foes while simultaneously being able to take a beating. Making a Dreadnought the perfect elite unit for military or other militant groups. Most people who consider themselves to be such are so of their own free will and follow a strict code, discipline, or some form of ideology. Usually swearing allegiance to a government or other type of faction.

Choose the Dreadnought to be able to plow through foes and obstacles while withstanding massive amounts of punishment.

The fastest path into this advanced class is through the Path of Constitution(Tough Hero), though other paths are possible.

Requirements: To qualify to become a Dreadnought, a character must fulfill the following criteria.

Level: At least Level 2
Path: Path of Constitution OR Path: Path of Dexterity OR Ability: Constitution Score 15+ OR Ability: Strength Score 15+
Ideology: At level one, the Dreadnought must pick an Ideology to follow. (More on this in "Extra Info" and "Class Talents" sections)

Restrictions:

Class: A Character that is already a Helix Warrior cannot be a Dreadnought and vice versa.

Class Information:

Ability Affinity: Dexterity and Constitution

Class Skills: The Dreadnought’s class skills are as follows. Acrobatics (Dex), Athletics (Str), Intimidate (Cha/Str), Profession (Wis)

Extra Info: At the first level, the Dreadnought has to choose what ideology to follow.

Dreadnought's Class Talents

Ability Surge: Starting at Dreadnought 1st level, the Dreadnought's uses her training and advanced physiology to push her self to the limits. When doing this they focus on a particular goal above all else and with raw force of git they attempt to achieve that goal at all cost. Doing this takes a Simple action and provides a +4 to Strength Score and +2 Dexterity Score. They also gain advantage on Constitution saving throws but disadvantage on Wisdom saves. The also gain temporary hit points explained below. This lasts for 1 + Constitution Mod number of rounds. Once no longer surging a Dreadnought is Fatigued. If already Fatigued then they are Exhausted. If already Exhausted then they become Unconscious.

When this happens the Dreadnought gains temporary health equal to 2 * Dreadnought level. So A level 4 Dreadnought that surges would gain 8 additional temporary health. This health goes away once they calm down. If that would bring them down to zero or below it instead bring them down too 1.

Dreadnought’s Discipline (Level 2 Choice)

At 2nd level, choose a Dreadnought Discipline which focuses your role in combat:

A) The Juggernaut: You are the immovable wall of your squad. While your Ability Surge is active, you gain Damage Reduction (DR) equal to your Constitution Modifier. Gain Tactical Opportunity on all enemies within 30ft that attack your allies instead of you.
B) The Ravager: You channel your raw power into devastating strikes. While your Ability Surge is active, you can choose to attack recklessly: your melee accuracy and damage gain an Advantage Die, but all attacks against you also gain an Advantage Die until your next turn. The threshold to trigger Extra Damage is reduced by 1.

Well Grounded: The Dreadnought is incredibly sure-footed. Starting at 2nd level, the Dreadnought gains a +2 bonus to save against being tripped, overrun, knocked prone. The Dreadnought gains an additional +1 for every Extra Damage the Character has.

Unhindered: At 3rd level, the Dreadnought can ignore the movement penalties of armor.

Steamroller: Starting at 3rd level, the Dreadnought does not need to move before making an overrun Technique against an opponent and takes advantage when doing so. If successful earn a Bonus Attack Action or a Bonus Overrun Action if there is another enemy within run distance.

Ideology Talent: At 4th level, the Dreadnought gains a talent based on their chosen Ideology. These talents often provide a combat benefit that synergizes with their chosen Discipline. (If you do not wish to pick one, you can choose whatever talent you want. However, you do not also get the other associated bonuses, just the talent.)

Resolve: Beginning at 4th level, the Dreadnought gains a morale bonus equal to one-half her Dreadnought class level (rounded down) on saving throws to resist Mind effects and both to resist Intimidation as well as perform Intimidate checks.

Bonus Feat: The Dreadnought gains a Bonus Feat from one of the following categories: Utility Feats, Combat Martial Arts, Melee Weapon Combat

Dreadnought’s Discipline (Level 6 Choice)

At 6th level, the Dreadnought refines their battlefield presence.

A) Living Shield: As a Simple Action, you can place yourself in harm's way to protect a teammate. Until the start of your next turn, you can absorb half the damage of an attack meant for an adjacent ally. Whenever a Dreadnought character earns a Bonus Action they always have the option of Living Shield as a Bonus. This Bonus can be stashed and used as a reaction (an action out of the group/turn for the character) to any friendly combatant within the Dreadnought's Walk speed distance. If the Dreadnought does this they must move next to the ally they wish to defend.
B) Knockdown: As a Standard Action, you can perform the Tackle Advance Combat Technique with advantage, and if successful, can also perform a Standard (not Bonus) Melee attack on the same turn. Also a Dreadnought can perform a Tackle from a stand still against an adjacent enemy.

Heavy Artillery: Beginning at 7th level, a Dreadnought treats all weapons as one size category smaller for purposes of determining whether she can wield them at all or if they are considered light weapons for the purpose of yielding it in an off hand.

Greater Surge: At 8th level, the Dreadnought can perform an Ability Surge to a greater effect. Like Surge, but now the Dreadnought gains a +6 to Strength and +3 to Dexterity. And 3 * Dreadnought level worth of temporary health. Now when surging a Dreadnought can as a Free action choose to move from one Combat group to another, ie: from Vanguard to Rearguard or vice-versa.

Tirelessly: At 9th level, the Dreadnought calls upon their intense training and mental grit to temporarily overcome how tired they may be. Removing any effect of Fatigue or if Exhausted they are not just Fatigued. They can only do this once per day. If in combat, this is considered a Simple Action.

Dreadnought’s Discipline (Level 10 Choice)

At 10th level, the Dreadnought reaches the pinnacle of their discipline.

A) Immovable Object: Once per day, if an attack would reduce you to 0 or below HP, you drop to 1 HP instead and instantly trigger a free Surge, doubling the Temporary HP gained from it. Also gain a Bonus Attack or Bonus Move Action that can done before the Dreadnought's normal turn.
B) Final Strike: If you kill or knockout an enemy with either a critical hit, a 'Coup de Grace', or deal Massive Damage (damage equal to 50% or more of target health in a single round) to a target, you can freely Surge at the end of the turn and gain a Standard Action that can be utilized in the other combat group. If in Rearguard then they can use this action in the Vanguard group next turn before doing there normal turn in Rearguard. This action is only a Standard Action no Simple or Bonus actions. If already Surging, the surge round counter is reset. This can only happen 1 + Dreadnought's Constitution Mod times per day.

A scientist may make grand discoveries about the universe and our place in it. But Engineers are the ones that exploit those findings and make them useful and piratical in everyday life. Engineers are the cornerstone of modern civilizations. They make sure that society keeps moving day-to-day. Silently working in the background repairing the machines of industry. However, some do not like the mundane quite life that is hidden in the shadows of civilization. Some venture forth and try their luck out in the galactic frontier. Or in some other exciting position that brings an escape from monotony.

Software has been known to be extremely flexible, especially for artificial intelligence. However, the hardware is not. And hardware is the engineer's forte. Out in the galaxy, there is an unknown amount of unimaginable obstacles to face. Engineers are known for their knowledge of how things work, how to fix things and make them more efficient. They can often bypass security measures or whip up special weapons or equipment in the field. It would be ridiculous for a team of colonizers to not bring an engineer to a new unknown planet. The job of an engineer can mean life and death for all involved. Those willing to leave there comfortable life, there sheltered workshops, garages and shipyards may find riches and adventure.

Choose Engineer if you want your character to excel at crafting, modifying, repairing, and disabling electrical and mechanical equipment, including weapons.

The fastest path into this advanced class is through the Path of Intelligence(Smart Hero), though other paths are possible.

Engineer's Class Talents

Extra-Curricular Training: At 1st, 5th, and 9th level, the Engineer selects a specialized track of study that defines their practical role in the field. Picking the same track multiple times unlocks higher-tier benefits (Novice -> Intermediate -> Master).

Table: Professional Repair
Craft (Repair) DC (+5 in combat)	Damage Repaired
0-9	No Damage repaired
10-15	1d6 + Engineer Level

21-25	3d6 + Engineer Level
26-30	4d6 + Engineer Level
31-35	5d6 + Engineer Level

Quick Construction: At Engineer 1st level, an engineer learns how to craft general equipment such as scratch-built electronic, mechanical, and structural objects more quickly than normal. When using the Craft (electronic), Craft (mechanical), or Craft (structural) skill to build a General Equipment item, the Engineer reduces the building time by 1/2.

At 5th level, the Engineer reduces the building time of ordinary objects to 1/4 and masterworked objects by half.

Professional Repair: At 1st level, an Engineer has improved ways of repairing robots, vehicles, power armor, etc... An Engineer with the correct Professional Kit or appropriate facility (ie: workshop, or hanger) can gain bonuses to repair damage to a robot, vehicles, power armor, spaceships and so on. The DC and Time are no longer based on the Repair rules. This takes 1 hour of work. This can also be done in combat but requires an additional +5 to the DC check and a Standard Action. Review the table to the right for more info.

For Space Ships, this provides an Advantage to Repair checks to remove Battle Damage.

Beyond the Specifications: At 2nd level, an Engineer can upgrade weapons and equipment to provide temporary performance improvements that exceed the object's normal specifications. It requires a Standard Action and full access to the target object. The effect lasts for 10 minutes, and the object cannot be boosted again for 1 hour.

Table: Weapon Upgrade :

Reconfigure Weapon: At 3rd level, an Engineer can reconfigure a melee or ranged weapon, improving one aspect of it. Reconfigure a weapon requires 1 hour of work and a successful Repair check (DC 20); reconfigure a masterworked weapon is slightly harder (DC 20 + the weapon’s masterworked bonus feature). An Engineer may take 10 or take 20 on this check. The reconfiguration is based on the Advanced Weapon Creation rules and allows for an already constructed weapon to be modified according to the Engineer's crafting skill effectively the Engineer can re-craft the weapon. However, the weapon cannot change its Style or Arch-Type nor can its Weapon Level change. Its Speed/Power levels can be adjusted and any of its attributes can also be changed according to the Weapon Creation rules. The Engineer can re-craft the weapon to be Masterworked according to crafting rules or Up-Tech to whatever the Engineer's Tech Level is.

Overload: At 4th level and beyond, the Engineer as a standard action, can cause a short in an electronic device they are adjacent to. This includes any ranged or melee weapon that does not possess the Kinetic Arch-Type. This makes the target of the overload nonfunctional. If the device is designed to be tamper-proof, such as a lock, then it cannot be a target. Like-wise anything that is sentient can also not be a target. If the target is being held by an enemy the item must first be taken from them, please review the Disarm technique. The Engineer doesn't need to roll if all they want to do is temporarily disable the device. The device is disabled for Int Mod for several rounds. However, the Engineer can attempt to create an improved explosive with a DC 15 (Craft (Electronic). The overload can become an electronic explosive Device. It must be used by the next round of combat or within roughly 3 seconds, and causes 1d6+Int Mod of Electronic Damage. The range is 5ft circle from the square it lands on. At 6th, 8th and 10th level the damage increases by +1d6.

Bonus Feat: At 5th level, the Engineer can gain a Bonus Feat for free and can pick from the following categories: Utility Feats, Proficiency Tree , Ranged Combat

Engineer's Eye: At 6th level, the Engineer gets a +2 to Perception and Passive Perception when within 20ft of a trap, malfunctioning computer, or on board a spaceship with malfunctioning systems.

Combat Mechanics Training: At 7th level, the Engineer can choose to take an upgrade to either the Melee, Ranged or Armor Proficiency Tree regardless of whether it takes 1 or 2 points. Or the Engineer can choose to take the Power Armor Expert Feat.

Effects on Space Ships. An engineer can perform the Boost effect on any system of their choosing so long as they are near a working console on board the ship. They also gain a bonus to all Boost checks of 1/2 there current Engineering level roundup.

Reconfigure Weapon Improved: At 8th level, the Engineer can now Reconfigure a weapon in 1 minute instead of 1 hour. Additionally, when reconfiguring a weapon, they can choose to grant it one temporary "Combat Attribute" from the Weapon Attributes list for 1 hour.

Trained Professional: A 9th level Engineer can perform complicated tasks as free actions after completing an Intelligence check.

During any round in which the Engineer uses the Computer Use, Craft, Disable Device, or Repair skill, he can first make an Intelligence check (DC 15) to use the desired skill as a free action. Making the Intelligence check doesn’t cost the Engineer an action.

Engineering Miracle

At level 10 the Engineer can pull off feats of engineering wonder. They can use their mastery of the trade to provide bonuses or repairs that could only be described as borderline miraculous. They can use this ability once per day, starting as a Standard Action. At Character Level 15 it becomes twice per day and at Character Level 20 it becomes 3 times per day. The effect depends on the object you are modifying.

Armor: Adds a +1 AC bonus and +2 DR to armor for 1 minute.
Weapon: Adds advantage to both Accuracy and dealing damage (which includes each Extra Damage) for 1 minute.
Spaceship Structure: Instantly repairs one Battle Damage.
Spaceship Shields: The Ship's Shields now have +1 and no longer count against Detection DC, thus making the ship appear in stealth even if shields are on. Lasts for 1 minute.

Ambassadors, Diplomats, Dignitaries, Consultants, Legats, Emissaries, etc. can all fall under the title of an Envoy. With a natural talent for dealing with disputes as small as those between individuals and as large as those between whole nations or civilizations. Envoys are desired across the galaxy. Armed with a heightened awareness of local politics and a wide range of ideologies and philosophies, the Envoy strives to find a compromise to avoid an otherwise ugly confrontation both for herself and for others. The Envoy will attempt all this without compromising their integrity or betraying the trust placed in them as representatives of factions, nations, worlds, or whole civilizations.

An Envoy chooses a faction, nation, or some other type of recognized group to swear allegiance to. As long as that Envoy does not fail to represent her faction, then she is entitled to privileges beyond the rights of ordinary citizens. Choose the Envoy if you want a character who excels at negotiations, political leverage, and self-preservation, focusing on targeted utility and group protection.

The fastest path into this advanced class is through the Path of Charisma (Charismatic Hero).

Requirements:

Level: At least Level 2
Path: Path of Charisma OR Ability: Charisma Score 15+ OR Ability: Wisdom Score 15+ with Charisma score of 12+

Technique Ability Affinity: The Envoy uses Charisma or Wisdom for their Techniques (shared with the Field Officer).

Envoy Class Talents

Plenipotentiary Privileges

At 1st level, if you are arrested for a crime, you can make a Diplomacy check to invoke your diplomatic credentials and bypass standard punishment. The standard DC for simple infractions is DC10. A crime like murder may be a DC25 check unless it is of an important person, then perhaps 35 or higher. If one of the Envoy's consuls (see the select consul class feature, below) is arrested for a crime and unable to secure her own release, the Envoy may intercede on the consul’s behalf.

The Emissary: Gain an Advantage Die on the check if the crime is bureaucratic, political, or a public misunderstanding.
The Broker: Gain an Advantage Die on the check if the crime involves smuggling, illegal technology, or black-market dealings.

An Envoy who routinely invokes the privilege of diplomatic immunity—either on her own behalf or to protect her selected consuls—is likely to be recalled or terminated by those she has sworn to represent.

Stipend: At 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th level, you gain a Profession rank increase of +1 and a bonus of $2,000 ISC per Envoy level.

Open Arms: Beginning at 2nd level, the Envoy is skilled at initiating peaceful negotiations. The Diplomat may add both their Wisdom Modifier and Charisma Modifier to Diplomacy checks instead of choosing. She can also add a competence bonus equal to one-half her Envoy class level, rounded down, on all Diplomacy checks.

Diplomatic Style Combat Feature: At 3rd level you gain your first Combat Specific Class Feature based on your Diplomatic Style.

Cultural Expert: At 4th level, the Envoy's abilities and profession lead them to a better understanding of common cultures. If Knowledge Culture is not a choice Class skill, make it one now with an additional +1 rank. If it is already a Class skill, provide +2 to its Rank. Player's may disregard the Skill level limit rules in this case.

Bonus Feat: At 5th level, the Envoy gets a free Bonus Feat. All rules still apply; the Character has to be eligible to acquire the feat. They are in the Utility category and Techniques sub-category.

Envoy's Allegiances

Corporation[s] Entity

Corporation or group/federation of corporations can be big enough to have the galactic influence they may have Envoys on their side. Not too be mistaken with a lobbyist who focuses there attention solely on influencing local governments. Envoy's that work for Corporations travel the galaxy making sure Corporate interests are understood and as peacefully as possible upheld. A Corporation may use an Envoy too smooth over ties with an indigenous population on a planet that has to deal with the Corporation. For example, it may be mining it and causing a lot of disturbance. The Envoy could be sent to peacefully resolve the situation. Envoys ensure that conflicts of any kind do not get in the way of the Corporation's goals.

Bonus: Insider Knowledge: A bonus too Diplomacy and Intimidate checks equal to the Envoy Class level when dealing with any Corporation personnel. An advantage bonus too Computer Use checks when attempting to get information from a computer owned by a corporation. The class also receives the Knowledge Business as a Class skill and gets a Misc +2 bonus too it.

Small to Medium Sized Government

A small or medium government in the Milky Way galaxy means any space-faring government that has not expanded influence beyond a few systems. They would not be considered an empire or be well-known. However, locally they would be regarded as very powerful. Envoy's that work for these governments would like to be used to expand their influence beyond the systems they control. Because of their smaller size, most Envoys would likely swear allegiance, hoping to move quickly up the ranks. With less competition than in other sectors, smaller governments provide more opportunities.

Bonus: Ambitious: The Envoy is more likely to get promoted. Advantage bonus too Profession checks. The Envoy also gains an advantage bonus to the Intimidate checks when dealing with government agencies. The Envoy even gets Knowledge Local as a class skill with a Misc +2 to the skill.

Large or Empire Government

There are many empires that have existed or still exist in the galaxy. The Ring of Life is massive and spacious and has afforded much room and resources for many great civilizations to co-exist if not for just a while. Envoys are prized members in these great nations. Their uses vary from internal affairs of state to problems abroad. Envoys will be seen dealing with subjugated planets to help dispirit any rebellions. Lead talks on trade disputes between nations. Secretly incite ill will in other countries' weaker planets. All for the sake of maintaining and strengthening the Empire.

Bonus: Powerful connections: The Envoy has connections all over the galaxy that can provide information or get her out of trouble. -5 to all the DCs associated with the "Diplomatic Immunity" table. The class also receives the Knowledge Civics as a Class skill and gets a Misc +2 bonus to it. The Envoy also gets an advantage +2 to Intimidate checks when dealing with government agencies.

Religious Institution

Most religions are only popular locally to the planet of origin. However, Empires and trade spread ideas across the Ring, and some religions have fared well. These mega religions have power and influence, and Envoys are their peaceful arm. A religious group may be concerned that its followers are not receiving the attention they need from the government, or afraid that a powerful megacorporation will act without considering the people it will affect. When this is the case, religions often use Envoys to make their will known to the people, governments, and corporations. Sometimes, Envoys are sent to work in secret, while others walk openly and proudly about their faith. Envoys would likely swear an alliance solely because their convictions are true.

Bonus: Strong Convictions: The Envoy who swears allegiance to a religious institution has an advantage bonus to Wisdom saves. Also, the Envoy gets a +1 bonus to Int and Wis Modifiers when someone is attempting to Bluff,Intimidate or use Diplomacy against them.

Crime Syndicate

You represent the will of a powerful syndicate. Many powerful individuals in organized crime use others to represent their wishes within the governments they operate in. Sometimes these people are Lawyers or Politicians or a Business Consultant, but one then is in common. These people are respected and very wealthy. In part because of the crime syndicate and in part because of their own ambitions. When working for a Crime Syndicate, an Envoy is expected to get people out of jail when they most certainly deserve to be there; they are also expected to provide inside information to the 'Boss' or whoever they report to. The Envoy may smuggle money from less official channels into more official ones and whine and dine with the elite of society to make sure 'Family' or 'Business' is always seen as important, respected, and official. No funny business to see here.

Bonus: Corruption: Instantly start off with $20,000 credits. Gain an advantage when using the Plenipotentiary Privileges talent. Replace the Upper Management talent with Well Informed. This provides an advantage bonus when using the Diplomacy Gather Information skill check.

Rebel Cause

At some point, we all have to choose. Some simply see the horror in the Ring and must do something about it. Sometimes, the person who makes that choice is a charismatic individual with leadership written on their face. However, they were late to the movement. There already is a leader. But what about a spokesperson? What about the person who once enjoyed and understood the other side? Someone willing to meet in the middle and possibly even respected by both. All good lasting rebellions, or at least any rebellion that had a ghost of a chance, had someone like that. Someone not at the top nor the bottom, but still powerful and respected, who could reach out to the 'enemy' and find common ground. Either to discuss hostage release or to build a foundation for peace. An Envoy who dedicates herself to a Rebel cause will become its leader's right hand, and you will become a powerful force for change.

Bonus: Rebel: Loose 1/2 your credit score. Take advantage of the Plenipotentiary Privileges talent. Replace 'Stipend' with Negotiator. This provides +1 Misc score to either Diplomacy, Bluff, Intimidate, Sense Motive at 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th level.

Some species are more accepting of in-plants and cybernetics than others. One such species, the Cryous, was at war and losing fast. Desperate for a new form of super-soldier, they took advantage of the electromagnetism inherent in their species to create a unique kind of Cybernetics. The Electro-Mancer was born. Referring to anyone who chooses to have a specific set of cybernetic and biological implants inserted into their bodies. This set is specifically designed to make the user aware of electromagnetism as if it were an additional sense, and can also gather energy in the form of electricity and manipulate it at a local scale.

With these super soldiers, the Cryous were able to overcome the massive numbers of ground troops deployed against them. Eventually, the war ended in a stalemate and shaky truce. For years, the Electro-Mancer Cybernetic Implant Set (EMCIS) was held as a tightly guarded secret, but eventually, it was let out. Now, all of the citizens of the Milky Way's Great Ring of Life can enjoy this powerfully themed set of implants.

An Erie quite settles onto the cabin. The only sound left is the hum of motors below, crawling up the soldier's legs as if being forced out of the air from the opposing silence. Faces were shocked and full of despair. Not looking up, afraid to see the empty seats where their comrades should be. Jacob, standing, holding onto a tether hanging from the ceiling to keep his balance as the vehicle hurriedly sends what's left of his team across the bumpy landscape, looks at the faces of his men and realizes he is losing them. The defeat was too much for them. Without the right words, the moral would be lost, and he knows what would happen next. "First," he thought to himself, "I must not let them see me down."

The Field Officer is a natural leader with the heart of a warrior. He understands how to direct allies and lead by example. The Field Officer has the tactical expertise and uses such knowledge to coordinate armed forces in the battlefield. He is not afraid to get into the thick of things himself, especially if it means completing the mission at hand. Field Officers are seen commanding counter-terrorism teams, a group of trained soldiers, or even undisciplined mercs. Even pirates may find themselves taking advantage of a natural leader and assigning someone of such skill as a first mate to help keep the people in line.

A Player will choose Field Officer if they want a Character to take charge in a crisis or lead others into battle, and to provide knowledge and expertise that can help the group as a whole.

Most choose not to mess with Nature too much. Science has always tittered on the fringes of what society deems acceptable. Pushing against the wall of morality is, to some scientists, their duty. Helix Warrior's are examples of those experiments scientist do that sometimes pushes too hard against that wall. Genetic Modification is one of the big Great Filters of any Civilization. People, sometimes willing, however usually not, are subjected to rigorous "scientific" experimentation. Their DNA is manipulated to purge anything deemed undesirable or a "flaw." Some call this "forced evolution." Most call it eugenics. Some Civilizations allow such practices, while most others do not. All capable Civilizations do it at some point.

Some Helix Warriors come out with no adverse side effects and use their abilities to help others or, at the very least, help themselves. Others are not as lucky. In either case, Helix Warriors manifest new abilities that make them more resilient super-soldiers, security guards, law enforcement officers, and more.

Choose the Helix Warrior if you want to be a master of physical combat, either as an unstoppable engine of destruction or a hyper-perceptive protector who guides their squad through the chaos of battle.

The Lepidonains had a vast empire. They were second to none. Except for the Cryous. Their rivalry came to a head in The Great Warring Years. The Cryous had created a new masterful set of implants to empower their soldiers. This helped take away the Lepidona's ground troop superiority. In response, the Lepidonians developed a suit/cybernetic implant combo in hopes of outdoing their competitors. The set was the Shield Integration Suit and Cybernetic Combat Set. It was nicknamed the Shield Splicer Combat Suit, and nowadays, people who use them are called Shield Splicers.

The technology was inevitably leaked, and the rest of the Galaxy has been tweaking and improving upon the design for centuries. Mainly for war, the suits are sometimes outlawed. Many mercenary groups, pirates, thugs, and other more criminal groups employ wearers of such suits. Since work is hard to buy if you dedicate a portion of your life to wearing a suit half, the galaxy has outlawed most Shield Splicers, who don't have a choice. And thus a stereotype was born.

To curb the lousy rapport, newer, more defensive versions of the suit were made. With the suit becoming more prevalent on the outskirts of space, many isolated locations began using them to defend themselves. Monasteries had their monks devote time to learning the art as a means of defense.

Choose the Shield Splicer if you want a character who can manipulate invisible fields of force to either protect allies defensively or crush enemies in a nearly invisible clutch of high-intensity force.

Focus: Kinetic Force, Ranged Damage, and Physical Disruption.

Level 2: Shield Attack; You mold a force field into a small concentrated sphere to cause damage at range. This is a Standard Attack Action (Ranged, 100ft).; Damage: 1d6 + Constitution Modifier (Kinetic-Kinetic).; You use Dexterity to aim, but Constitution Modifier for the damage bonus. This attack counts as using a "Natural Ranged Weapon" for proficiency bonuses, extra damage, off-handed weapon, and Bonus Actions.

Level 4: Kinetic Shunt; You learn to add a powerful shove to your kinetic strikes. When you land a successful melee or ranged attack, you gain the choice of a Bonus Action to shunt the target. The target must succeed on a Strength save DC15 + Conn Mod or be pushed 10ft away from you. If the target is unable to move, ie a wall behind them, then take 1d4 damage instead.

Level 6: Focused Shield Attack; Your kinetic spheres become more stable. Range increases to 150ft + 10ft per Constitution Modifier. and damage increases to 1d8 + Constitution Modifier (AP 2). Additionally, you do not take Disadvantage when making a Shield Attack against an enemy within your melee threat range.

Level 8: Energy Redirection; Your shields can "catch" and return hostile energy.; Trigger: While a shield controlled by you, through Talents or Techniques, is hit with damage that deals Kinetic, Electric, or Thermal damage. You can sacrifice a Simple/Bonus Action on your next turn to attempt to absorb some of the damage.; Effect: Roll a Constitution check against the attacker's accuracy. If you win, you take half damage and gain bonus damage that can be applied to any Shield based damage dealing Technique, or to the Character's Shield Attack, or on a Melee Weapon that the Character is actively holding. This bonus damage adds +1d6 + (1 per every 4 points of damage you take) damage of the type you just absorbed.

Level 10: Master Shield Wielder; Your kinetic strike reaches its ultimate form. Range increases to 200ft + 20ft per Constitution Modifier, damage increases to 1d10 + Constitution Modifier (AP 4), and the Player can choose between Critical Range increase +1 or x3 Critical Multiplier.; Additionally, once per day, you may choose too "Expand" a Technique (doubling its range or duration).

Path of the Shield Defender (Wisdom)

Focus: Ally Protection, Damage Absorption, and Battlefield Control.

Level 2: Selfless Shield; You can manifest your barriers around others. You can use your Self Shielded feature on an ally within 30ft + 5ft per Wisdom Mod as a Standard Action. This however only lasts during combat. It can be used once per combat and doens't count against the Self Shield use.

Level 4: Substitution; You can weave your own vitality into an ally's defense. When an adjacent ally or an ally under your Selfless Shield is hit, you may choose to absorb half of the damage result onto yourself. When this is done you loose your next turns Simple Action. Your Constitution Mod acts as DR for this specific instance of damage, but no other DR (from armor or items) applies.

Level 6: Improved Force Wall; You have mastered the construction of static barriers. You haven't chosen to learn Force Wall; you automatically learn it, even if at the max allowed. You can perform the Force Wall technique as a Simple Action. If you perform it as a Standard Action, the wall's height and length are doubled, and it gains +2 DR. At Shield Splicer level 8 DR goes to +4 and duration is 1d6 + 2 turns.

Level 8: Tactical Phasing; You can briefly "phase" an ally's shield to help them reposition.; Action: Simple Action.; Effect: One ally within range gains partial concealment (enemies take a Disadvantage Die to hit them) for 1 round. While phased, the ally's movement does not trigger Tactical Opportunities.

Level 10: Healing Chamber; You warp a protective, airtight shield around a target (Range: Touch) that is flooded with concentrated healing gas. You can target yourself or choose to envelop both yourself and the adjacent target to split the healing bonus.; Action: Standard Action.; Effect: For 1d4 rounds, the target is immune to toxins and gains Regeneration (recovering HP equal to their Hit Die + your Wisdom Modifier at the Counter Phase of combat). This consumes a Medical Kit or a concentrated Healing Concoction. If you choose to share this bubble with the target, then each rolls for the total healing but halves the total, rounding up.

These rough, tough, and unsavory lot of people are the military's finest. They serve as the backbone to any Empire, Corporation, or Religious institution's firm outstretched hand. They are not just required when waging war in space but also for keeping the peace and ensuring stability. Many Space Marine groups are mercenary organizations that take advantage of the vastness of space by providing their services where an otherwise outstretched army cannot effectively hold. Others are loyal only to one faction and serve them relentlessly.

No matter who they serve, Space Marines are talented at all things combat in space. Whether in spaceship battles, close-quarters combat, Zero-G, or extra G, Space Marines have the talent and guts to get it done. It may not be clean... in fact, it's certainly gonna get messy, but Marines wouldn't have it any other way.

Play a Space Marine if you want a Character that all-around excels at and focuses solely on combat.

The fastest path to the Space Marine is through the Path of Dexterity (Fast Hero) or Path of Strength (Strong Hero).

Requirements: To qualify to become a Space Marine, a character must fulfill the following criteria.

Level: At least Level 2
Path: Path of Dexterity OR Path of Strength OR Ability: Dexterity Score 15+ OR Ability: Strength Score 15+

Advanced Tactics: At 5th level, the Space Marine’s understanding of the battlefield deepens. They can choose to perform a Simple or Bonus action in a different Combat Group. If they are already in the Rearguard, then they can choose to take their Simple/Bonus Action in the next round's Vanguard.

Special Focus Training: At 7th level, the Space Marine picks one category to master: Heavy Melee Weapon Training, Heavy Ranged Weapon Training, or Heavy Armor Training.

Starfighter

Class Level	Special

The job of a fighter pilot is a tough and dangerous one. Years of intense training never genuinely prepare a Starfighter for their first combat experience. Spewed from a mother ship in a blur, they see in an instant a massive onslaught of thousands of other little ships so small they are barely visible against the canvas of stars. Most do not survive this first chaotic experience. But for those who do, they become the elite—the few who can dance between debris and weapon fire with a smirk.

Whether they are flying for a military, a corporation, or their own survival, Starfighters are defined by their reflexes and their ability to stay calm when everything around them is moving at thousands of kilometers per hour. These skills translate naturally to the ground, where the Starfighter treats the battlefield like a low-altitude dogfight, using momentum, positioning, and pure nerve to outmaneuver any opponent.

Choose the Starfighter if you want your character to be a high-mobility "Interceptor" who excels in the cockpit, dominates ground movement, and has the grit to navigate the roughest spaceports in the galaxy.

The fastest path into this advanced class is through the Path of Dexterity (Fast Hero), though other paths are certainly possible.

Requirements: To qualify to become a Starfighter, a character must fulfill the following criteria.

Level: At least Level 2
Path: Path of Dexterity OR Ability: Dexterity Score 15+ OR Ability: Charisma Score 15+ and Dexterity score of 12+

Restrictions:

None.

Class Information: Ability Affinity: Dexterity and Charisma Class Skills: Acrobatics (Dex), Bluff (Cha/Int), Pilot (Dex), Perception (Wis), Survival (Wis).

Starfighter's Class Talents

Pilot Training: Starting at Starfighter 1st level, a Starfighter automatically gains the Spaceship Helm Officer and Guide feats. The Starfighter has an advantage when piloting any ship.

Reckless Behavior: At 1st level, the Starfighter's "jump the gun" mentality allows them to act when others are still assessing the threat. At the start of combat, the Starfighter can roll an Initiative check against a DC15 + Enemies' Initiative Score. If successful, they may perform a single Standard Action as a Surprise round just for the Starfighter. Doing so gives them a -2 AC penalty for the first round of combat as they overextend.

Starfighter’s Discipline (Level 2 Choice)

At 2nd level, choose your primary operational focus:

A) The Ace: You are a master in the cockpit. You gain an Advantage on accuracy checks with ship-mounted weapons and on saving throws to avoid Battle Damage. You can perform the "Shake, Rattle, and Roll" feature (Level 4) twice as often.
B) The Interceptor: You treat ground combat like a dogfight. You gain a +5ft bonus to base speed and an Advantage on opposing Initiative checks. When moving through an enemy's square using Acrobatics, the DC is reduced by 5. Gain Advantage on the Combat Technique Overrun.
C) The Scoundrel: You know the ins and outs of every spaceport. You gain an Advantage on Bluff and Stealth checks, when in a Spaceport, or on a Spaceship. You can use your Pilot skill in place of Diplomacy or Intimidate when dealing with spacers, mechanics, or ship merchants.

Sharp Reflexes: At 2nd level, a Starfighter applies his elite reflexes to any vehicle he pilots, gaining an Advantage on all checks and saves made aboard. On the ground, you take no damage when successfully making a Dexterity saving throw to reduce damage from an area effect.

Evasive Footwork: At 3rd level, your momentum is your armor. As long as you have moved at least 15ft on your turn, enemies take a Disadvantage on all accuracy checks against you until the start of your next turn. Do not gain Tactical Opportunity from moving out of an enemies melee threat range.

Do a barrel roll!: At 3rd level, as a Standard Action while piloting, the ship gains a +4 bonus to AC until your next turn. On the ground, you can use this as a Simple Action after a move to gain a +2 Dodge bonus to AC for 1 round.

Target Lock: At 3rd level, you can "lock on" to a target as a Simple Action. You gain an Advantage on all accuracy checks against that target. This lock lasts as long as you maintain line of sight. You can only have one target locked at a time.

Scramble: At 4th level, the Starfighter can choose to act in the Vanguard phase even if they are in the Rearguard, or vice versa, by spending a Simple Action to "Scramble." This can be done a number of times per day equal to the Starfighter's Dexterity Mod.

Bonus Feat: At 4th and 8th levels, the Starfighter can gain a Bonus Feat from the following categories: Utility, Space Ship Operations, Ranged Combat, Two-Weapon Fighting

To the max!

At 5th level, you can push engines or your own body beyond safe limits.

Ship: Increase tactical speed by +500ft per Engine Mod for 1 minute.
Ground: Increase base speed by +10ft per Dex Mod for 2 rounds.

Both uses require a 1-hour "cool down" period afterward.

Hangar Talk: Also at 5th level, your reputation precedes you. You gain an Advantage on Sense Motive, Diplomacy and Intimidate checks within spaceports, military installations or on other pilots or spacers. You can procure "restricted" ship parts or fuel as if it had one less Procure Difficulty.

Wingman (Level 6 Choice)

At 6th level, you learn to support your flight lead (or squad mates):

A) Covering Fire: When a Starfighter gains a Bonus Action from a Standard Move/Attack Action they can choose a Bonus Covering Fire Action. This Action can be stashed until the Starfighter's next turn. The Starfighter can use this Bonus Action out of turn if another ally is attacked; then the Starfighter can choose to use their Bonus Covering Fire Action on the attacker. As long as the Attack Accuracy Check isn't a Critical Failure, the target gains Disadvantage on their accuracy check against the ally. If it is a hit treat all hits as a Minor Hit.
B) Tactical Lead: You can spend a Bonus Action to grant an ally in your group (Vanguard/Rearguard) an Advantage Die on their next accuracy check or skill roll. When a Starfighter's ally goes at the same time for their Standard Action in the same turn phase, IE (Vanguard/Rearguard) and they fail, instead of automatically taking that failure if the Starfighter gains a Bonus Action that turn they can sacrifice it to give an Advantage to the ally. Out of combat this acts like an automatic successful aid of another player's Skill check or Ability check/saving throw.

Pilot's Awareness: At 6th level, you gain a +2 Misc bonus to Perception and Passive Perception as well as to Sense Motive and Bluff checks.

When a Starfighter is in the Helm's Ship Position, that ship gets to add +2 to its Passive Sensors.

Intimidating Reputation: At 7th level, your name carries weight. You get a +2 Misc bonus to Intimidate checks. When piloting a crewed ship, you can add your Dexterity modifier to the ship's Intimidate checks.

In-Flight Improvisation: Also at 7th level, you can use your Pilot skill in place of Computer Use or Disable Device when attempting to hotwire vehicles, bypass security on hangar doors, or repair flight systems in the field.

Keep It Together: At 8th level, you can keep a dying ship or your own body functional through pure willpower. You can operate a spaceship at maximum Battle Damage for Dexterity/Charisma (Whichever is higher) Mod rounds before it explodes. On the ground, you can delay the effects of the Stunned or Dazed conditions for 1 round.

Shake, Rattle, And Roll: At 8th level, a Starfighter learns how to rock an enemy spaceship with weapons fire. The Starfighter must declare that he is using this ability before making the attack roll (thus, a failed attack roll ruins the attempt). If the Starfighter is not also in control of the Weapons, the Weapons officer will need to make a successful hit for this to work. A spaceship damaged by the Starfighter’s attack is shaken for 1 round; all passengers and crewmembers (pilots and weapons officers included) aboard the shaken ship take a disadvantage penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks for 1 round. A Starfighter may use this ability once per combat.

Vector Thrust: At 9th level, you master the art of tactical repositioning. You can switch between the Vanguard and Rearguard phases as a **Free Action** at the start of any round. Additionally, your movement no longer triggers Tactical Opportunities from enemies you have attacked this turn.

Master of the Skies (Level 10 Capstone)

At 10th level, your training is complete:

A) Ghost in the Machine (The Ace): Once per day, you and your ship become "untargetable" by electronic sensors for 1 minute. All attacks against you have a 50% miss chance, and you gain an Advantage on all attacks.
B) Momentum Strike (The Interceptor): Once per encounter, after moving at least 30ft, your next attack deals maximum damage and adds your total distance moved to the damage result.
C) Slipstream (The Scoundrel): You can move through solid objects and enemy spaces as if they weren't there for 1 round. This movement does not trigger Tactical Opportunities, and you end the move with a "Phantom Strike" that automatically threatens a Critical Hit.

Ever meet someone where life always seems to go their way? The Swindler doesn't just rely on skill—they rely on Luck. Whether it is through an ancient technological artifact, a unique psionic resonance, or simply being at the right place at the right time, Swindlers have learned to throw themselves into "The Gamble," cheating fate to win big.

Choose the Swindler if you want a character who manipulates probability, excels at stealth and deception, and thrives on high-risk, high-reward scenarios.

The fastest path into this advanced class is through the Path of Charisma (Charismatic Hero), though other paths are possible.

Requirements:

Level: At least Level 2
Path: Path of Charisma OR Ability: Charisma Score 15+ OR Ability: Dexterity Score 15+ and Charisma score of 12+

Restrictions:

Class: A Swindler Character cannot first be a Dimension Knight.

Class Information: Ability Affinity: Charisma and Dexterity Class Skills: Bluff (Cha/Int), Diplomacy (Cha/Wis), Disguise (Cha), Choose One Knowledge (Int), Perception (Wis), Stealth (Dex), Sleight of Hand (Dex). Feat Bonuses: Deceptive

Swindler's Class Talents

Cheat Fate: At Swindler 1st level, fortune favors the bold. Once per day, you may re-roll one roll you have just made before the result is announced. You must take the result of the re-roll. At 8th level, this can be used twice per day.

Sneak Attack: At 1st level, you deal extra 1d4 points of damage on successful melee or light ranged weapon attacks against an unaware or flanked opponent. This can only be done once per round. This extra damage increases to +2d4 at 4th level, +3d4 at 7th level, and +4d4 at 10th level.

Swindler’s Calling (Level 2 Choice)

At 2nd level, choose your primary method of operation:

A) The Gambler: You live for the rush. You can spend a Simple Action to "Raise the Stakes" on your next attack. Gain another Advantage Die and add it to your accuracy. However, if the attack misses, you are Flat-Footed until the start of your next turn.
B) The Phantom: You are a master of infiltration. You gain an Advantage on Acrobatics and Stealth checks. You no longer suffer penalties for moving at full speed while in stealth.
C) A Thousand Faces: You gain the Thousand Faces ability, allowing you to don a convincing disguise in 1d4 minutes, or a quick and dirty disguise in 9 seconds or 3 rounds even while in combat taking up Simple Actions for 3 rounds. The Swindler also gets advantage bonus on 7th level. In combat, you gain Advantage when performing Feint.

Fortune's Favor: At 3rd level, your luck extends to your pockets. You gain an Advantage on Profession checks, Diplomacy checks for selling items, and any checks made to Gamble or make Investments. When scavenging for parts or crafting materials, you also gain an Advantage.

Escape Artist: Also at 3rd level, you gain the Feat Base Skill called Escape Artist. Gain advantage whenever attempting to escape confinement, such as ropes, chains, a force field, or a jail, provided you are not in combat. This talent is born from a long history of "hearing" about others' narrow escapes—though surely you have never been caught yourself.

Luck Perk (Level 4 Choice)

At 4th level, choose how your luck manifests:

A) Lucky Strike

Choose either +1 to the critical range of your weapons (max 17-20) or +1 to your weapon's critical multiplier (max x5).

Critical Chance Increase: Once per combat, they can benefit from a +1 to the critical range of their weapons. A weapon's critical range cannot go above 17-20 with this ability. The Swindler benefits from +1 critical range on every attack in a round of combat until he or she does a Critical.
Critical Damage Increase: Once per combat, if the Swindler performs a successful critical hit they gain an extra +1 to the critical damage multiplier. Just like Critical Chance Increase, this only counts for the first time in combat, the Swindler does a critical unless the Swindler chooses to ignore the bonus. This cannot make a critical multiplier go higher than 5x.

B) Loaded Dice: Once per day, you can declare a roll to be "Rigged." Treat any natural roll of 1–5 on the d20 as a 10. At 10th level, the Swindler can do this twice a day. If the Swindler chooses, they can do this more than their level allows, but each time they do, they become Fatigued. If they are already Winded, Fatigued, or Exhausted, then they cannot do this.
C) Second Chance: When you use `Cheat Fate`, any Advantage Die that is re-rolled is treated as Lucky. If it was a disadvantage, take the lower of the two numbers to subtract. The Swindler can now Cheat Fate twice per day, and at 8th level, this can be used 3 times per day.

Bonus Feats: At 5th level, gain a free Bonus Feat from: Utility Feats, Two-Weapon Fighting, or Melee Weapon Combat.

Warp Probability: At 6th level, you can affect another target's roll within 45ft (+5ft per Cha Mod). This requires a Standard Action, and this can be done both on the Swindler's turn or out. They forfeit their next turn's Standard Action if done out of Phase. IE: If the Swindler is in the Vanguard, they can perform this action in the Rearguard even if they already acted, but next turn they lose the Standard Action. If targeting an enemy combatant, the Swindler must first declare their intent before the GM declares the result of the target's action. Roll your Advantage Die twice and either add or subtract the result from the target's d20 roll. This can be used a number of times equal to your Charisma Mod per day.

If out of combat, the Swindler can use this to adjust the check or saving throw of a target.

Infiltration Style (Level 7 Choice)

At 7th level, you refine your movement:

A) Timely Stride: You gain +10ft of base speed and can no longer be caught Flat-Footed during a surprise round.
B) Slip the Cuffs: You can move through an enemy's square without triggering a Tactical Opportunity. If you end your move adjacent to an ally, you can swap places with them as a Free Action.
C) Hidden in Plain Sight: (Requires A Thousand Faces) You can use the Stealth skill even while being observed, provided you are within 10ft of a crowd or cover. Your "Quick and Dirty" disguise now takes only 1 round (3 seconds).

Twist Fate (Level 8 Choice)

At 8th level, you learn to manipulate the luck of everyone around you. Choose one of the following:

A) Stolen Luck: Once per day, when an enemy within 60ft rolls a natural 20 on an accuracy check or saving throw, you can "steal" it. Their roll becomes a natural 1 instead. You store that natural 20 and can use it to replace any d20 roll you or an ally makes within the next hour.
B) Probability Ripple: As a Standard Action, you emit a 20ft field of chaotic probability for 1 minute. All allies within the field gain Luck, and all enemies are Unlucky. This can be used once per day.

Luck Perk+

Also at 8th level, you can either pick a second choice from the Luck Perk list or upgrade your existing choice:

Lucky Strike+: Gain the other benefit (Critical Range or Critical Multiplier) that you did not pick at level 4.
Loaded Dice+: You can now use Loaded Dice to treat any natural d20 roll of 1-10 as a 12.
Second Chance+: When you use `Cheat Fate`, you may now treat the d20 as a Lucky roll ie: roll twice and take the better result.

One Last Trick: At 9th level, if you are at or below 10% health (round down) , you can teleport up to 120ft (+10ft per Cha Mod) as a Standard Action (or as a response out of turn, forfeiting your next round). As a free action the Player can roll Stealth. This concludes your turn.

The Big Score (Level 10 Choice)

At 10th level, you achieve ultimate mastery:

A) Double or Nothing (The Gambler)

You are the master of the high-stakes play. When you succeed on an accuracy check or skill check, you can choose to "Double the Bet" by rolling again. If you succeed a second time, the effect is tripled (triple damage, or automatic success on the next related task). However, if the second roll is a failure, the original action fails, you take damage equal to half what you would have dealt (or fail the task spectacularly), and you are Stunned for 1 round.

B) Ghost Walk (The Phantom)

You can step between the folds of reality. As a Standard Action, you become partially ethereal for 1 minute. During this time, you can move through solid matter (up to 10ft thick) and gain a +4 bonus to AC as attacks pass through your shifting form. You can end this effect early as a Free Action to make a "Phantom Strike," which deals maximum damage and counts as a Sneak Attack even if the target is not flanked or unaware. This ability can be used once per day.

C) Grand Delusion (A Thousand Faces)

You can weave lies so potent they warp reality for those who hear them.

In Combat: Spend a Standard Action to perform a "Massive Con." All enemies within 30ft must make a Wisdom Save (DC 15 + Cha Mod) or become Confused for 1d4 rounds.

Out of Combat: You can perfectly impersonate any individual you have observed for at least 1 minute, including their voice, mannerisms, and biometric patterns. Additionally, you can "Gaslight" an NPC by talking to them for 5 minutes (DC 20 Diplomacy/Bluff). If successful, they will believe a single logical falsehood you present as absolute truth for 24 hours, regardless of prior knowledge.

The teacher walked up to April's desk with a worried expression on his face. He looked at the tablet in his hands. It was April's homework and last test scores. A large red square at the top right corner blinking with a white F centered within it. "Uhrm... Miss April a moment of your time." The teacher said with a pause hoping to get April's attention. He failed. April's eyes were fixed on the workbench before her. A small spattering of electronics mixed with wires, duck tape, and a smoking soldering iron lay on the workbench before her. Her unkempt brown hair flowing down her back has caught the attention of several of her peers. However, she has ignored there laughter and sneers just as she is ignoring the teacher. "UH HRM! Miss April a moment PLEASE!" The teacher said this time with resolve in his voice.

"Huh?" shocked out of a trance she looks up at the teacher eying the tablet in his hand.

The teach satisfied that the response was enough. "Your grades have been falling more and more recently. You seem ever engaged at school. Dare I say too engaged. But if you don't do your homework you will fail. And failing will not get you success. You have a chance here, and this is one of the most prestigious schools in this sector of space for Engineering." He finished the sentence with his nose a little higher in the air.

"Ok... whatever. I don't care much to be an Engineer anyway. My interest is in robotics." April replied instantly.

"Bu... wh... Robotics is a part of Engineer! My dear, you must have other interest besides electronics?" The teacher stammered

"No... just robotics. The software that runs them, the interfaces, the automated systems, the servos, the levers, if it isn't a robot, I don't care much to learn about it." And with that, she went back to her work.

Little did that teacher know but years later April would be out in the field repairing and keeping robots working on a harsh new colonization project. Making sure the robots could defend themselves from the hostile bugs that lived on the planet. Lives depended on those robots. And she was paid more in one month then that teacher was in 10 years.

Technosavants find more kinship with electronics, computers, robots and the like then other biologic counterparts. It often starts with collecting robotic, cybernetic and computer hardware at a young age. It grows into not just a career but for a Technosavant a life choice. Loved for their aptitude to solve everyday problems Technosavants are found mainly in the frontier of space. Fixing electronic equipment and even improving on them. Noted for being tinkerers they communicate in a language of techno jargon often made up on the fly.

Whether it's looking for a missing child or finding a killer on the loose, the Tracer is dedicated to it. Tracers are more than just Bounty Hunters. The universe is a big and dangerous place, and only some are willing to traverse it on a "hunch" or "wild goose chase" as some may call it. Tracers also do not just hunt for bounty. They are skilled at finding anyone or anything across the vastness of space. They revel in the daunting challenge.

This is useful for out-of-combat situations. The Marker emits a difficult-to-detect signal that a Tracer can easily follow with a Scanner device they have tuned specifically to their mark. Range is 1km per Tracer level. The tracking lasts for 24 hours + 4 hours per Tracer level.

Focus on Target: At 8th level, the Tracer gains a Bonus Attack Action against the target of the Study Target ability and/or the Tracer's Mark regardless of the Standard Action taken, as long as the Action doesn't specify it doesn't allow Bonus Actions or Simple actions.

Tactical Maneuver (Level 8 Choice)

At 8th level, you can fire specialized ammunition designed to be distracting. The damage of the weapon is reduced by one die level. You must craft the ammo beforehand with a Craft (Chemical, Electronic, or Structural) skill check; the crafting succeeds automatically, but the material cost increases by 50%.

B) The Final Shot (Predator): Once a Study Target is in effect, once per day you can declare a "Final Shot." This consumes both a Simple and Standard Action. It grants an additional Advantage Die (max 3); if the attack surpasses the AC threshold by 5 or more, it is an automatic critical success. The critical damage multiplier is increased by 1 (max x5). You can choose to have this damage bring the target to 1 HP and Unconscious instead of killing them. If the target remains alive and conscious, they must roll a Constitution Save (DC 20 + Int Mod) or be Stunned for 1 round.
C) Total Surveillance (Bloodhound): As a Standard Action, you reveal the location and current Conditions of all enemies within 250ft + 25ft per Wis/Int (higher) mod.

For the rest of the encounter, all allies gain an Advantage on accuracy and damage against any enemy revealed this way. (Advantage on damage means an Advantage Die is rolled and added to the damage total).

It can be hard learning a new culture. Even harder if it's from an Alien species and civilization. Some, however, love the challenge and get excited when those such barriers are torn down. Even rarer group of people love to do that with alien creatures. A Xenophile is usually seen as just a career choice for those that study the physiology, psychology, culture, and technology of other species. But for most Xenophiles, it's a life choice. To them, there is no greater joy than furthering science by the discovery of new alien species.

Usually, this interest, and even love, for other species doesn't bestow any special kinship with them. However, in rare cases, it can. Some alien creatures can be domesticated and even trained. Some Xenophiles take advantage of this to learn more about that species and how it interacts in different environments.

On the other end of the spectrum, some Xenophiles attempt to be more detached from their subjects to remain as objective and scientific as possible.

In either case, Xenophiles are usually found on newly discovered planets that harbor life. If not, they are in civilization showcasing their newest discoveries. Sometimes they can be called upon by Nations or mega-corporations to help colonization efforts that have gone south because of the local alien "monsters."

Choose the Xenophile class if you want a Character to know the abilities, strengths, and weaknesses of various xenomorphs and even have a pet alien!

The fastest path into this advanced class is through the Path of Wisdom (Wise Hero), though other paths are possible.

Requirements: To qualify to become a Xenophile, a character must fulfill the following criteria.

Prestige Classes

A Prestige Classes is a way to grow beyond the Character Classes. It requires one or more Advances Classes that together help form a more specific theme. The Prestige Class then attempts to add new features and abilities keeping within the spirit of the theme. Usually having between 5 and 10 total levels and usually requires multi Character Classes and or high level requirements. Likely the character will have to MultiClass in order to meet the requirements.

You can review available Prestige Classes here.

Multi-Class Character Classes

Multi-Classing is different in Future Path. Firstly a Character's Path is that's Character's Level and there is no Multi Pathing. A Path is similar too but not a Class.

If you level up your Character from level 4 to 5 and happens to also be a level 3 Starfighter then you can add another level in your Starfighter class or if you wanted to MutliClass and add 1 level off Tracer or any other Character Class that your Character meets the requirements for. This means you will have to sacrifice taking a new level in Starfighter. So in the end you will be a level 5 Hero with 3 levels in Dogfighter and 1 level in Tracer.

As the Player advances his Character they will want to take more then one class type. Character Classes are only lvl 1 - lvl 10. While the Character's max level is 20. Some people may want to take all 10 levels in their first Character Class and then use their remanding Character levels to take levels in another Character Class. While some may want to level up two classes back and forth so they have an even amount of levels in both classes. There are also Prestige classes that are designed to continue along a more specific path usually combining two Character Classes together with a more specific theme.

Here are some extra rules for Multi-Classing an Character Class:

Players may only pick talents out of whatever classes gained a new level.
The character gains no bonus for having classes with the same class skill.
Restrictions always apply. If one class restrictions a feature provided by another class then the Player can still take that class just without that feature.
1. (NOTE: Some restrictions are specifically for not taking a class. In this case you cannot take the restricted class)
You can MultiClass as long as your Character meets the requirements.

There are no other penalties for MultiClassing. You can have as many Advance/Prestige classes as possible by requirements and restrictions.
