<h1>Character Classes Guidelines</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
When Players choose to invest levels in a Class, it means they care about what
|
||
that Class can contribute to the game. Mechanically, Classes are bundles of
|
||
Skills—but they also influence the character's general concept and inform the
|
||
kind of scenes that will take place during the game, as well as the
|
||
adversaries you will create.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
Below you will find useful advice on how to help your group make the most out
|
||
of their character Classes, and how to build situations around their
|
||
abilities. Pay special attention to what Classes are chosen during character
|
||
creation since they will determine the character's role and abilities for
|
||
quite a while.
|

<h2>ARCANIST</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Arcana should play an important role in the setting. Perhaps a cult or
|
||
religious empire worships them, or they are seen as proof of noble lineage.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Spend some time thinking up the kind of quest or trial required to bind each
|
||
Arcanum. These should be tied to the Arcanum’s powers and concept—for
|
||
instance, binding the <em>T ower</em> might require sacrificing something
|
||
dear in order to protect others.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Create new Arcana in addition to the ones presented in this book, using
|
||
those as a guideline. If the Arcanist is also a Loremaster or comes from a
|
||
long line of summoners, you should create these new Arcana together with the
|
||
Player.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
An Arcanist's progression is based upon encountering new Arcana. Keep this
|
||
in mind and make sure they get chances to do so.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2>CHIMERIST</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Build scenes in which the conflict between nature and technology is central.
|
||
Put the Chimerist in situations where they are expected to take a side:
|
||
ecological and environmental themes should be a main plot point.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Include multiple creatures from which the Chimerist can learn spells—beasts,
|
||
monsters, and plants. Do this at least once every other session. One good
|
||
strategy is to straight-out ask the Player what kind of spells they would
|
||
like to learn and then design creatures from which they can be learned!
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
