Marksman - Class Tree

Marksman (Playable in Starter Set)

Precision-focused ranged combatants who dominate at distance through superior positioning, weapon mastery, and tactical patience, striking long before enemies can close the gap through either heavy bow work, black powder weaponry, or the swift shortbow mobility of a Ranger who turns natural terrain into cover, an edge on the hunt, and a marked shot the moment prey steps into the open.

‡ Abilities from their respective trees are summarized below. Ability Cards are released with Module and their expansions, supporting various Character Levels, and list the DIFS for any check an Ability requires. Refer pg. 6 for more on Ability Cards.

Alignment: Alignments range from Lawful, Moral, Ambivalent, Amoral and Evil, and are Path and Branch Dependent.

To use the Abilities of this Path or Branch, you must fall within the Alignment's Spectrum. To devote to the Path's Higher Power you must fall exactly at that Alignment (see Alignment, Basic Rules pg. 2).

Higher Power: Path Dependent (see Path below)

Marksman's Paths individually restrict by alignment from LVL 4 on, see each Path above for its specific Alignment.

To learn a Path's Abilities, or any of its three Branches', your own alignment need only sit inside this Class's Spectrum.

To draw a Path's Higher Power bonus you must hold that Path's exact base Alignment, and that same base is what its three Branches require (see Alignment, pg. 2).

  a. Forest Guardian - A Ranger who takes the fight head-on, armored heavily enough to hold the frontline.
