Leveling Up

With each step forward, you carve your path and blaze new trails.

As you develop your character throughout your adventure, you’ll level up and gain access to new features that shape your playstyle.

Actions #

Actions are active abilities you spend your energy and resources to perform.

Traits #

Traits are passive features that shape how your character functions.

Feature Tier #

Both traits and actions are labeled by Tier. As you level up, you may gain access to higher tier features.

Prerequisites #

In most cases, a feature’s tier will determine how much you need to level up in order to gain access to the feature.

They may be tied to your investment in a particular archetype, discipline, or expertise depending on the source of the feature in question.

Ancestral features have no prerequisites and are simply granted upon creating your character.

  • Allocate your 20 attribute points—limit 3 per attribute.
  • Select a discipline to begin with, starting with 1 level in that discipline.
  • Prepare available features up to your focus limit, starting at 3 slots.

Gaining Levels #

Each time you level up your character:

  • Raise any 3rd rank attribute of your choice by 1.
  • Level up any discipline of your choice by 1—up to a maximum of 10 per discipline.
  • Your focus limit is increased by 1 slot. You may prepare available features up to your focus limit.
