COMBAT BRANCHES (up to level 100)
Novice: 0-30
Adept: 30-60
Expert: 60-90
Master: 90-100
1. Light/Medium/Heavy Armour
1. Light Armour
Novice: Unhindered (1 Point): The weight of your attire is meaningless to you. You can run, climb, swim, and perform acrobatic maneuvers in leather or reinforced cloth as if you were wearing nothing at all. Your movement is always fluid and silent.
Adept: Wind Dancer (2 Points): You flow with the currents of battle. You can use an opponent's attack momentum against them, pivoting and weaving around blows with impossible grace. A well-timed dodge allows you to slip inside a sword swing or sidestep a charging beast, leaving them over-extended and vulnerable.
Expert: Unyielding Agility (3 Points): Your body has learned to react to the intent of an attack. You possess a preternatural "danger sense" for ambushes and the first strike in any combat. Against a single, telegraphed attack, you will automatically evade it without conscious thought.
Master: Untouchable (4 Points): You become a phantom on the battlefield. Against opponents of lesser or equal speed, you cannot be hit by predictable attacks. Swings, thrusts, and projectile weapons simply pass through the space you were in. Only area-of-effect blasts, traps, or truly unpredictable, chaotic assaults can hope to touch you.
2. Medium Armour
Novice: Adaptive Fit (1 Point): You are a master of wearing just enough protection. You gain the defensive benefits of chainmail and reinforced leather without sacrificing any meaningful mobility. You are always perfectly balanced, ready to attack, defend, or reposition.
Adept: Combat Reflexes (2 Points): When a powerful, potentially lethal attack is incoming, your perception of time sharpens. The world slows down just enough for you to make a critical decision: dodge with the grace of a light-armour user, or brace and counter with the stability of a heavy-armour specialist.
Expert: Relentless (3 Points): Your endurance in a prolonged fight is legendary. You recover from exertion, minor wounds, and the mental strain of combat with astonishing speed. While others tire, you remain sharp. While their blows weaken, yours retain their full force. You win wars of attrition.
Master: Sentinel's Stance (4 Points): You become the fulcrum of the battlefield. When you plant your feet and commit to a defense, you create a zone of order around you. Allies near you feel their own resolve harden and find their movements more sure-footed. Conversely, enemies feel a psychological pressure, their attacks becoming slightly more hesitant and clumsy. You don't just fight; you shape the very morale of the conflict.
3. Heavy Armour
Novice: Unburdened (1 Point): The weight of full plate mail is a comfort, not a hindrance. You can sprint, leap, and even swim in your armour without fatigue. The clinking of plate is not a warning of your approach, but a herald of your coming.
Adept: Unbreakable (2 Points): Your blocks and parries are not just deflections; they are impacts. A successful block with your armoured limb or weapon doesn't just stop an attack—it jars the opponent to their core, shattering their posture and leaving them physically stunned and wide open for a counter-blow.
Expert: Tower of Flesh (3 Points): You become an anchor in the world. You are completely immune to being staggered, knocked down, grappled, or moved against your will. You can walk calmly through a hail of arrows, ignore the charge of a warhorse, and stand firm against a giant's club.
Master: Living Fortress (4 Points): Your will to endure becomes a tangible reality. The armour is merely a focus. For a brief moment, you can project an aura of absolute defiance. Blows that land do not find flesh; they strike what feels like a mountainside, their force dissipating into the air around you. You can briefly become completely and utterly immune to all physical harm.
2. Melee Combat
1. Sword
Novice: Precision (1 Point): Your cuts are precise, your thrusts deadly. You instinctively target weak points.
Adept: Parry & Riposte (2 Points): Perfectly timed blocks create a guaranteed opening for a critical counter-strike.
Expert: Flurry (3 Points): Unleash three blindingly fast strikes in the time it takes for one.
Master: Duelist's Triumph (4 Points): In a one-on-one fight, your first attack cannot be blocked or parried.
2. Mace
Novice: Concussive Force (1 Point): Blows rattle bones and dent armour.
Adept: Sunder (2 Points): Attacks degrade and destroy enemy weapons and armour.
Expert: Skullcracker (3 Points): Clean hits to the head stun, disorient, or knock out.
Master: Implacable Advance (4 Points): Your presence is oppressive; weaker enemies may lose the will to fight.
3. Axe
Novice: Biting Edge (1 Point): Your swings are controlled savagery. You cause deep, terrible wounds that bleed profusely and are difficult to heal, even with magic.
Adept: Deep Wounds (2 Points): The bleeds you inflict are not just surface-level. They damage muscle, tendon, and bone. An enemy suffering from your bleed will find their movements slowed and their strength faltering. A warrior's sword arm becomes a liability.
Expert: Bloodlust (3 Points): The scent of blood and the sounds of battle invigorate you. For every enemy in the vicinity who is bleeding (from any source), your own speed and ferocity increase perceptibly. In a chaotic melee, you become a whirlwind of gore.
Master: Mortal Strike (4 Points): You have learned the one, true blow. A single, perfectly executed swing from an axe, targeting a key structural point, can achieve the impossible: severing a limb through full plate mail, cleaving a helmet (and the head within) in two, or cutting a massive beast's tendon in a single stroke. It is not an attack; it is a declaration that the fight is over.
4. Hammer
Novice: Shock and Awe (1 Point): Every impact from your hammer carries a deep, bone-jarring resonance. Blocks against your blows are physically painful for the opponent, numbing arms and cracking shields.
Adept: Sunder (2 Points): Your attacks don't just damage; they destroy. A few solid blows can reduce a legendary shield to splinters, warp a magical breastplate into a death trap, or shatter a sword at the hilt. You turn an enemy's assets into liabilities.
Expert: Earthshaker (3 Points): You can channel force through the ground. A mighty overhead slam doesn't just crush your target; it creates a small shockwave that staggers everyone in a small radius, breaking formations and creating openings.
Master: Shatterpoint (4 Points): You perceive the world in terms of structural integrity. You see the inherent weakness in everything: the single stone that, if dislodged, collapses a wall; the flaw in a dragon's scale; the precise point on a demon's skull that will not withstand impact. Striking a Shatterpoint doesn't just do damage—it causes catastrophic failure.
5. Dagger
Novice: Quick Hands (1 Point): You can draw and stow your daggers in the blink of an eye. Your attacks are a flicker of steel—fast, precise, and aimed at vulnerable spots: wrists, thighs, the neck.
Adept: Exsanguinate (2 Points): You know exactly where to cut to cause the most rapid blood loss. A single, well-placed slash can be fatal in seconds. This makes you incredibly dangerous even if you only manage a glancing blow.
Expert: Ghost Strike (3 Points): You have learned to make a killing blow utterly silent. When you strike from stealth, the impact makes no sound. An enemy can die beside their comrades without anyone noticing, allowing you to thin ranks like a phantom.
Master: Death's Moment (4 Points): You transcend mere stealth. For one moment after emerging from hiding, you are still invisible to the senses. You can deliver a single, guaranteed critical strike to any target you can perceive, appearing as a blur before your true position is even known. It is less an attack and more a decree of fate.
6. Spear
Novice: Unassailable Range (1 Point): You understand distance like a second language. You can consistently attack from outside the effective range of every other melee weapon, making you a nightmare for wielders of weapons with a short reach.
Adept: Polearm Master (2 Points): You are a master of formation fighting and area denial. You can effectively fight from the second rank, striking over allies, and you are a nightmare for multiple opponents, keeping them all at bay with a web of precise, threatening thrusts.
Expert: Impale (3 Points): You put your entire body's momentum into a single, devastating lunge. This attack has immense armor penetration, capable of punching through a shield, a suit of plate, and the body within, potentially skewering multiple enemies in a line.
Master: Unassailable Stance (4 Points): When you plant your feet, grip your spear, and take a defensive stance, you become an immovable object. You cannot be flanked, and your defense is absolute. Nothing short of a giant or a siege engine can force you back. You are the anchor that holds the line against the tide.
7. Shield
Novice: Shield Wall (1 Point): You wield a shield with instinctive expertise. Your blocks are incredibly efficient, deflecting blows with minimal effort and dissipating the force away from your body. You can weather a hailstorm of attacks without your arm tiring.
Adept: Deadly Bash (2 Points): Your shield is an extension of your will. A well-timed bash doesn't just interrupt an attack; it carries stunning force, capable of breaking an opponent's nose, shattering teeth, or even concussing them. It creates a perfect opening for a counter-attack.
Expert: Ricochet (3 Points): You have mastered the art of deflection. You can angle your shield to not only block projectiles but send them hurtling back towards the attacker or into another enemy. An archer volley becomes a hazard for their own ranks.
Master: Aegis of the Unyielding (4 Points): Your defense becomes a tangible force. For a brief moment, you can project the concept of your shield beyond its physical form. You can create an invisible, immobile barrier in the air to block a dragon's breath, or form a small dome of protection around yourself and nearby allies, making you all impervious to harm. This is the ultimate expression of protection.
3. Ranged Combat
1. Bow
Novice: Hunter's Stealth (1 Point): You can move silently through any terrain and draw your bow without a sound. The creak of wood and the whisper of the string are silenced, making you a ghost until the moment your arrow flies.
Adept: Eagle Eye (2 Points): When you draw the bowstring, your focus becomes absolute. Time seems to slow, allowing you to account for wind, distance, and movement. You can thread the needle through a helmet's visor at a hundred paces or sever a hanging rope from a staggering distance.
Expert: Ranger's Pace (3 Points): You have mastered the art of the mobile archer. You can fire accurately while running, leaping from a height, or balanced on a narrow surface. The world is your firing platform, and you are never at a disadvantage.
Master: Arrow of Certainty (4 Points): Once per conflict, you can loose an arrow that is guided by fate itself. It will not miss. It will curve around cover, defy the wind, and strike the one spot that will cause the most catastrophic damage—be it the pin holding a bridge together or the single, magical weak point on a demon's hide.
2. Crossbow
Novice: Rapid Reload (1 Point): You have perfected the reloading sequence. You can crank and reload even the heaviest crossbow in half the usual time, turning a slow, powerful weapon into a credible threat in sustained combat.
Adept: Piercing Bolt (2 Points): Your bolts are designed for penetration. They ignore a significant portion of physical armor, treating plate mail as if it were leather and shields as if they were paper. They are the bane of heavily armored knights.
Expert: Suppressing Fire (3 Points): You understand the psychological power of the crossbow. Your rate of fire becomes intimidatingly fast, allowing you to pin down multiple opponents, force spellcasters to break concentration, and control the flow of an engagement from a fortified position.
Master: Ballista Shot (4 Points): You can overload a crossbow's mechanism for a single, monumental shot. This bolt flies with the force of a siege engine, capable of throwing a fully armored man through the air, punching through a castle's portcullis, or bringing down a flying griffon with one well-placed hit. The sound of the shot is a thunderclap of finality.
3. Javelin
Novice: Skirmisher's Throw (1 Point): You can throw a javelin with deadly accuracy while on the move. It is a seamless part of your advance, used to wound or distract an enemy just before you engage them in melee.
Adept: Pin Down (2 Points): A precisely thrown javelin can cripple and immobilize. It can pin a foe's foot to the ground, nail a shield to the user's arm, or pierce a wing, grounding a flying creature. It turns a target's assets into traps.
Expert: Shock and Awe (3 Points): Your thrown javelins carry incredible kinetic force. On impact, they don't just pierce; they stagger, knock back, or even throw smaller enemies to the ground, disrupting formations and creating chaos in the enemy's ranks.
Master: Spear of the Hunter (4 Points): You can make a single, thrown javelin attack that is both unerringly accurate and possesses the armor-piercing quality of a crossbow's Piercing Bolt. This is your ultimate opening move, a decisive strike meant to eliminate the most dangerous threat before the true melee even begins.
4. Specialised Combat
1. Sneak Combat
Novice: Light Foot (1 Point): You move with a preternatural silence. Your footsteps make no sound, regardless of the surface—dry leaves, gravel, or creaky floorboards are as silent as packed earth to you.
Adept: Assassin's Edge (2 Points): You know exactly how to exploit a moment of vulnerability. Your attacks from stealth or against unaware targets are devastating, multiplying the force and lethality of your blow, whether it's with a dagger, a sword, or even your bare hands.
Expert: Shadow's Embrace (3 Points): You do not simply hide in shadows; you become one with them. As long as you are not in direct, bright light and move slowly, you are functionally invisible. Your presence is a mere void in the air, undetectable to normal sight.
Master: Ghostwalk (4 Points): For a few moments, you can step partially out of phase with the world. You become completely silent, invisible, and intangible, able to walk through enemy lines, bypass traps, and position yourself for the perfect strike. You are not a fighter; you are a force of nature.
2. Mounted Combat
Novice: Born in the Saddle (1 Point): You have a supernatural sense of balance. You cannot be unhorsed by mundane means, and you can fight from your mount's back as easily as from the ground, with no penalty to your attacks.
Adept: Charge! (2 Points): You and your mount become a single weapon. Your mounted attacks carry immense momentum, allowing you to deliver blows with enough force to break through shield walls and send enemies flying. A lance charge from you is a tidal wave of steel.
Expert: Unity of Steed and Rider (3 Points): The distinction between you and your mount blurs. You share a single combat instinct. You can perform complex maneuvers as one entity—dodging in unison, your mount kicking while you strike, turning on a dime to catch a pursuing enemy off-guard. Your mobility is your greatest defense and your greatest weapon.
Master: Joust of the Heavens (4 Points): You can channel your combined spirit into a single, transcendent charge. For the duration of this charge, you and your mount are enveloped in a nimbus of energy, your speed multiplies, and your attack becomes an unstoppable force that can pierce through magical barriers and critically wound even the most massive of foes.

You can see the aura of spells being cast, identify enchanted items by their glow, and sense the approximate power level of magical beings. You can now "see" in the dark by perceiving the ambient mana in the air and objects (basically heat vision).
Expert: The Mind's Eye (3 Points) - Your perception transcends the physical. You can now sense life force and hostile intent. You can feel the presence of all living beings within a large radius, perceiving them as "life-lights" regardless of walls or invisibility. You gain a preternatural "danger sense" that warns you of ambushes, traps, and lethal attacks a split second before they happen. You can sense the general emotional state of those around you (a cloud of anger, a shroud of deception).
Master: Omni-Sense (4 Points) - You achieve a state of near-omniscient awareness. You can actively focus to perceive anything happening within a city-sized area, as if you were there. You can now distinguish between types of energy: divine, demonic, elemental, spiritual, etc. A god trying to hide their presence would feel like a blinding sun to you, while a stealthy assassin would be a void of cold intent. Your "Mind's Eye" becomes a passive, constant radar. Nothing can surprise you. You perceive the world in multiple layers simultaneously: the physical, the magical, and the intentional.
