Avenger Path Alignments and Higher Powers

Cleric: Aelthora the Righteous - Goddess (Lawful)
Oath: Uphold justice and order | Virtue: Discipline | Values: Truth, duty, hierarchy | Dominion: Law
Note: As with all Paths, the alignment must be within the 2 of the Path's base, in this case Lawful (so Moral); however, devotion to its higher powers requires the Character to be AT the Path's base Alignment (see Alignment pg. 2). All three Branches under Cleric (Holy, Oracle, Warpriest) share this Lawful base alignment.

Aelthora embodies divine judgment tempered with mercy, watching over those who stand against darkness with righteous conviction. Her followers learn that true strength lies not in cruelty, but in the unwavering pursuit of justice and the protection of the innocent.

Monk: Kendur the Stillborn - Deity (Moral)
Note: The GM determines the Oath, Virtue, Values, and Dominion for Moral Paths. All three Branches under Monk (Chanter, Qirateka, Shapeflow) share this Moral base alignment.

Kendur walks the path of inner mastery and transcendent discipline, teaching that the sharpest blade is one forged in silence and tempered in stillness. Through meditation and relentless self-refinement, his devotees discover that the greatest battles are won before they begin.

Priest: The Luminae Circle - Pantheon/Celestials (Ambivalent)
Note: Ambivalent Paths answer to no patron and carry no oath or pact. All three Branches under Priest (Discipline, Salii, Shadow Weaver) share this Ambivalent base alignment.

A harmonious collective of celestial beings who guide those caught between worlds, the Luminae Circle teaches balance through adaptation and wisdom through experience. These entities work in concert to illuminate hidden paths and reveal truths concealed from lesser sight. Refer to The Trinity of Powers.

Favored Races:
Dwarf (Common)† +5, Human† +5, Halfling† +5, Firbolg +5, Hawkbear +5

†Playable with Starter Set.

Averse Races: Bast -5, Bugbear -5, Troll (Bridge) -5, Troll (Mountain) -5, Drāco Blood -5, Drow -5, Dwarf (Glimmerstone) -5, Gnoll -5, Orcus -5, Goblorc -5, Pinkling -5, Ratkin -5, Emberscale -5, Imperials -5

Avenger Paths and Branches
Each Path and Branch has full descriptions in their Ability section.
i. Cleric - The frontline face of the faith, standing in the shield-line and striking with holy conviction alongside their allies.
  a. Holy - The Cleric's default and most balanced expression, a steady shield-and-mace defender.
  b. Oracle - A farther-reaching caster who trades armor weight for spell range, wielding only wood or glass blunt weapons to keep their channeling pure.
  c. Warpriest - A dual-wielding Cleric who pairs a blunt main-hand weapon with any offhand blunt weapon, eventually earning a magic slashing weapon in the main hand.
ii. Monk - A disciplined, often unarmed practitioner of the faith who channels devotion through the body itself rather than steel.
  a. Chanter - A Monk who channels devotion through music, using a light instrument as a magical focus for their chants.
  b. Qirateka - A tankier Monk branch that uses medium armor and bracers to parry blows, drawing enemy attention away from allies with taunts.
  c. Shapeflow - The most mobile Monk branch, forgoing all but the lightest armor to strike with precise, piercing unarmed blows.
iii. Priest - A quieter servant of the faith who deals in ritual, shadow, and blood-price rather than open combat.
  a. Discipline - A defensively-minded Priest who fights with a blunt weapon and shield, or dual blunt weapons, in a disciplined guarding stance.
  b. Salii - The Priest branch that finally unlocks true enchanted daggers and heavier armor.
  c. Shadow Weaver - A stealth-focused Priest who favors concealed blades and shadow over open ritual combat.

The frontline face of the faith, standing in the shield-line and striking with holy conviction alongside their allies. (LVL 4-20)
(see Cleric Path and Branch Abilities Below)

Cleric Path
▸ Select to Expand Armaments

Weapon Proficiency (Culture, Cleric) (Abilities require one of the weapons below to be readied; Basic Attacks do not)
Variant: Telluric. Type: Tactical for Martial, Magic for Spell. Hand: 1h (Main), shield or holy symbol (Off), or 2h. Distance: Melee. Style: Blunt. +8 to Hit (Main Hand), +2 to Hit (Off Hand) when wielded (Weapon/Hand Proficiency).

Weapons Forbidden (Culture, Cleric):
◆TAW
◆Oxidize
◆Malign
◆Chthonic
◆Evil Symbols
Materials Forbidden (Culture, Cleric):
◆None. The Cleric Culture judges a weapon by its shape and its making, not its substance.
Armor Forbidden (Culture, Cleric):
◆None by Culture; the Armor Grade threshold below still applies. Cleric orders have always sent their own into the shield-line, and armor of any make is thought no barrier between a Cleric and their Higher Power.
Cleric doctrine forbids the shedding of blood by an edge. Its Abilities are performed with weapons that break rather than cut, which is why the mace, hammer and shield-boss carry the tradition and the sword never has. Bladed and Chopping weapons perform no Cleric Ability, though a Cleric may of course still swing one as a Basic Attack.

Branch Exceptions (Culture, Cleric):
This Culture carries through to every Cleric Branch. Each Branch below states only where its own practice departs from it; anything unlisted stays as set above.
◆Holy - Permits: a Piercing weapon, the blessed spear, and Heavy Grade (Sanctified Plate). A spear consecrated at the altar is held to strike as a rod rather than a blade, the one edge-adjacent arm the doctrine has ever admitted.
◆Oracle - Refuses: all metal, in weapon and armor alike. Oracles read what is to come through untouched substance, and hold worked metal to cloud it. Wood and glass only, Light Grade (Ivory-threaded Cloth) or lighter.
◆Warpriest - Permits: a 1h (Main) Slashing weapon where it is Magic, and Medium Grade (Battle Chain). An enchanted edge is reckoned an instrument of the power that blessed it rather than a blade of war, and so falls outside the prohibition.

Armor Thresholds
Armor Grade: caps at Half Medium (Chain).
See Weapon/Hand Proficiency, Armor Thresholds, and Special Armaments above.

Cleric Branches

◆ Holy (1h blunt weapon and shield, or 2h blunt weapon, as Cleric default; unlocks Heavy Grade (Sanctified Plate) armor and a Piercing weapon, a blessed spear) (LVL 21-30)
The Cleric's default and most balanced expression, a steady shield-and-mace defender.

Monk Path
▸ Select to Expand Armaments

Weapon Proficiency (Culture, Monk) (Abilities require one of the weapons below to be readied; Basic Attacks do not)
Variant: Telluric. Type: Tactical for Martial, Magic for Spell. Hand: 1h, 2h, or bare hands. Distance: Melee. Style: Blunt. Material: Wood only. +8 to Hit when wielded (Weapon/Hand Proficiency).

Weapons Forbidden (Culture, Monk):
◆TAW
◆Chthonic
Materials Forbidden (Culture, Monk):
◆Any material not of wood, in weapon and in hand-covering alike.
◆Worked metal of every kind.
◆Hide, leather, bone, sinew, and every other part of a living creature.
Armor Forbidden (Culture, Monk):
◆Metal armor of any Grade, however light.
◆Hide and leather armor of any Grade.
The Monk Culture holds that what is carried shapes what is practiced. Metal is worked for war and carries that purpose into the hand; the parts of a beast are taken by harm and carry that. A Monk trains with what grew and was cut without violence, or with nothing at all, which is why the staff and the open hand carry this tradition. The restriction is on Monk Abilities only, never on what a Monk may pick up and swing.

Branch Exceptions (Culture, Monk):
This Culture carries through to every Monk Branch. Each Branch below states only where its own practice departs from it; anything unlisted stays as set above.
◆Chanter - Permits: a chant instrument of any grown material, gourd, cane, reed or string, and Light Grade (Songweave Cloth). The voice is the instrument proper; what carries it is held to be furniture rather than arm.
◆Qirateka - Permits: worked metal in light bladed hand weapons such as tonfa or sai, Medium Grade (Banded Chain), and Medium Grade bracers for Parry. Qirateka answered the question of who stands in front by deciding a body between the enemy and the weak is worth the compromise the rest of the tradition will not make.
◆Shapeflow - Refuses: all bracers and every rigid piece, beyond even the Path's own bar. Delicate Grade (Featherwrap Silk) and hand wraps only, since anything stiffer is held to interrupt the motion the whole practice is built on.

Armor Thresholds
Armor Grade: Light or lighter (Padded Wraps).
See Weapon/Hand Proficiency, Armor Thresholds, and Special Armaments above.

◆ Chanter (unarmed strikes plus a light instrument for chants; Light Grade (Songweave Cloth) armor or lighter, and a Magic-channeling chant instrument) (LVL 21-30)

Priest Path
▸ Select to Expand Armaments

Weapon Proficiency (Culture, Priest) (Abilities require one of the weapons below to be readied; Basic Attacks do not)
Variant: Telluric. Type: Tactical for Martial, Magic for Spell. Hand: 1h. Distance: Melee. Style: Blunt (conjures spectral strikes until Salii unlocks a real Piercing weapon). +8 to Hit when wielded (Weapon/Hand Proficiency).

Weapons Forbidden (Culture, Priest):
◆TAW
◆Chthonic
Materials Forbidden (Culture, Priest):
◆None by substance, though see the weapon profile above; the Priest Culture cares far more for how a thing was consecrated than for what it was made from.
Armor Forbidden (Culture, Priest):
◆Rigid armor of any Grade while a rite is being performed. Priest practice is conducted in cloth, and the tradition holds that plates and scales interrupt what is being asked for.
The Priest Culture deals in rite, shadow and blood-price rather than the open shield-line. Its Abilities are performed with a consecrated hand weapon or with nothing visible at all, a spectral strike called up in place of steel, until a Branch grants the tradition a real blade to carry.

Branch Exceptions (Culture, Priest):
This Culture carries through to every Priest Branch. Each Branch below states only where its own practice departs from it; anything unlisted stays as set above.
◆Discipline - Refuses: the free offhand. Discipline is practiced with a shield or a second blunt weapon always in the off hand, and its Abilities are not performed without one.
◆Salii - Permits: 1h Slashing weapons, enchanted daggers of Piercing or Slashing make, a shield in the off hand, and Medium Grade (Mithril) armor. The Salii are the armed dancers of the priesthood, and theirs is the oldest reading of the rite: that it was always performed under arms, in armor and behind a shield, and that the cloth-only practice of the other Branches is the later softening. A Salii performs the rite in step, blade drawn and shield on the arm, and their Abilities are not performed without them. This is the widest exception any Avenger Branch states.
◆Shadow Weaver - Permits: concealed Piercing blades, while refusing every Grade above Light (Shadowweave Cloth). What cannot be hidden cannot be carried, so the blade is permitted and the armor narrows further.

Armor Thresholds
Armor Grade: Light or lighter (Shroud Cloth).
See Weapon/Hand Proficiency, Armor Thresholds, and Special Armaments above.

◆ Discipline (1h (Main) blunt weapon and shield, or 1h (Main) blunt weapon and 1h (Off) blunt weapon; disciplined defensive stance) (LVL 21-30)
