Current — 5 October 2026

The six Classes

• Classes are now six broad traditions standing on a ring: Warrior, Guardian, Mystic, Arcanist, Savant, and Hunter. The 26 former classes become their subclasses. Seventeen belong to one Class; nine are shared, six between neighbours on the ring (Cavalry, Paladin, Summoner, Alchemist, Rogue, Berserker) and three between opposite Classes (Warmage, Commander, Ranger).

• Every Class grants a free Class Feature: Press the Attack, Guard, Bond, Trained Will, Know the Angle, or Quarry.

• Class Points now come from all of your trained skills: 1 CLA for every 4 points of Skill Total, plus 1 for each trained skill at +5 or higher. People modifiers and other bonuses never count. Your first root is free.

• Tier gates: roots and T1 nodes are open from creation; T2 nodes need a trained skill at +4 and T3 nodes a trained skill at +5.

• A second Class costs 2 CLA, and a character can have at most two. Each new Class Point also lets you swap one node that nothing else of yours requires.

• Added a page for each Class, a redesigned Six Classes chart in the handbook and on the Classes page, and Class badges on every subclass page.

Character builder

• The Classes step now starts with the Class: it shows the Class Feature, offers only the subclasses that Class can take, counts Class Points from your Skill Total, marks the free root, and supports a second Class.

• Characters saved before this update are converted automatically, and the builder explains what changed.

• Specializations must now be one the skill offers.

Character sheet

• Redesigned the fillable A4 and US Letter character sheets. They record the Class, subclasses, Skill Total, Class Points, and Class Feature; trained and effective ratings for every skill; ten stunt rows; quick-access slots; and an exhaustion track that shows when a character dies.

• Sheets made by the character builder keep the designed type, shrink only text that would not fit, and point to the Rules Appendix whenever a table is full. The Rules Appendix now matches the sheet and lists entries one after another instead of four to a page.

• Weapon bonuses on generated sheets include the -2 penalty outside your Fight or Shoot specialization and the Fighter's Weapon Mastery. Every character also gets an Unarmed strike row, and variable Mana costs such as 1+ keep their plus sign.

Corrections

• Fireball & Icestorm & Electrical Discharge and the Shadow Leviathan no longer show a stray backslash.

• The Conjure Animal and Fear tables, and the full Gnome Arcane Resonance rule, now appear correctly in the character builder and on generated sheets.
