Otherworlds Core Rulebook - Classes

Otherworlds Core Rulebook Classes
Your Character Begins Their Adventure With The Following:

12 Health, 12 Astral.
● Language: Common (this language will be determined by the race you play. Thanks to
the Awakening, all races across the universe speak a commonly understood language,
known simply as, “Common.”), Native (depending on your race).
● 1,000 Gild (WM may adjust this for each character or for all characters, given the
campaign’s story)
● Equipment based on how you build your character. Different equipment is acquired
through different classes.
Additional Health and Astral will be given based on your class. Additionally, when leveling up,
you’ll be able to become more powerful!
Leveling Up!
Listed below is a chart that details what benefits your characters will get per level they gain.
There are five different bonuses that are acquired for leveling up, depending on the level your
character becomes. Each icon represents a corresponding bonus and every character follows
this leveling chart for a streamlined experience.
Icons: Unlocked Lock (Tier Unlock), Star (Skill Point), Puzzle Piece (Discipline), Book
(Proficiency), Arrow Up (Stat Increase).

Story Based Leveling

A character’s level represents their experience and the ways they’ve grown and developed
throughout the course of the story. Instead of making it about numbers that you keep track of, it
should be something that happens naturally through the evolving story.
Whenever a character or the group as a whole has a pivotal moment, whether that’s through
accomplishing their goals or resolving story arcs, the WM can grant them a level. The pace at
which a WM increases character levels depends on the WM. Every character should be kept
within 1-2 levels of each other at a time.
Level Bonus
Whenever you gain a level in Otherworlds, you acquire a skill point that can be spent at any
time to acquire a skill. The new skill must be one within your Skill Tree and it must be in a Tier
Level you have already unlocked. Tier Levels are special categories separating your skills,
beginning with your starting skills and moving all the way up to your ultimate ones! The more
you level up, the higher Tier Level you will acquire. See the reference below:
XP Leveling (Variant)
Gaining experience points (XP) is common in tabletop RPGs and video games. If your WM
prefers this method, at the end of each campaign session the WM will award every character
with XP. The XP given is determined by the WM based on the challenges the players have
faced. Each character can receive different amounts of XP or it can be equal for the whole
group.

The Classes
Your class determines your character’s specialization and skill sets. Once a class is determined,
you must then design your class’s Skill Tree, which consists of three Skill Branches.
The assassin, for example, has access to the Affliction, Archery, Assassination, Blood,
Darkness, Deception, and Swordsmanship Skill Branches. Assassination is the assassin’s
primary Skill Branch, meaning they will always have access to it. Secondary ones are optional
and may be interchanged through leveling up.
Skill Trees
Every class is represented by a Skill Tree. Skill Trees are made up of three Skill Branches.
Every Skill Branch has a specialty, focusing on specific skills and abilities.
Advanced - Every class listed below has a Skill Tree associated with it. You may choose to
make your own Skill Tree using any combination of Skill Branches. The Skill Trees listed are the
standard way to play and are guidelines.
Skill Branches
Every character’s class consists of three Skill Branches which form a Skill Tree. The list of each
Skill Branch is the following:
Fighter Skill Branches

Blood, Brawl, Endurance, Heavy, Melee, Rage, Ranged, Swordsmanship, War
Mage Skill Branches
Affliction, Arcane, Battle Magic, Curse, Darkness, Divinity, Elemental, Light , Nature, Protection
Rogue Skill Branches
Archery, Assassination, Avarice, Deception, Gambit, Hunt, Medical, Strategy, Tech
Class Archetypes
Every skill branch for your class will be a part of one archetype. The archetype will grant you
additional starting Health, Astral, or increase their proficiencies depending on which you choose.
Player’s that go “all in” to one Archetype can expect to see a bigger bonus overall, but will suffer
in the other two categories.
Each bonus from your class is in addition to your base 12 Health and 12 Astral.
Fighters (+3 Health) - These skill branches are focused on being tough and thus give you a
bonus to Health.
Mages (+3 Astral) - These skill branches are focused on spellcasting and thus give you a
bonus to Astral.
Rogues (+1 Proficiency Point) - These skill branches are your ability to adapt to your
surroundings, thus giving you an additional proficiency point (this points are NOT factored into
your skill trees listed below, so go right ahead and pick up some sweet extra benefits!)
