The Red Wyvern RPG
We next look at the Archetype of the Disciple, one of the groups of Callings that has overlap - between the Champions and Adepts. This includes:
Oath-Bound – Heroes who center their life on an oath given to a greater power. These would include the ever-needed Paladin in the mix. These are adventurers who favor a more physical means to their worship of a deity, the enforcers or devout soldiers. But it also gives freedom to twist up what that oath entails, which could then have, as an example, the Templar (don’t rush it, details come later.)
Pact-Bound – Heroes who make a pact with a greater power. Again, we have that familiar build you would find in Warlocks. These adventurers have a pact, also having a physical component but leaning more toward the gifts bestowed upon them to carry out their duties.
These Callings presented the opportunity to explore and test the boundaries of how we design these builds and how they interact with the world. Not to dive into the full lore and magic’s blueprint, imagine their use of the Weave comes with manipulating the energies through their oath or pact. When they are ‘compliant’ with their actions and intent, the Weave is then influenced by this devotion, bringing forth the power they call upon.
