Crux: Masters of opposition, cruxes oscillate their energies between two opposed sources of planar power.

They contain the raging power of this conflict within themselves and release it to achieve unique discharge effects.

Huay: The huay can fill many roles, using their abilities for things like scouting, combat, or diplomacy.

Kheshig: The kheshig’s role in any party is to be the bulwark which the enemy breaks themself upon. Dragons, demons, unscrupulous nobles, and dastardly thieves will struggle in futility against the kheshig, and in turn, his allies.

Promethean: Prometheans use their research of occult, alien, and forbidden knowledge to modify their bodies and minds, inflict their foes with debilitating conditions, and to attempt to alter the world to their whims.

Radiant: Radiants are healers, first and foremost, specializing in restoring their allies’ health by fortifying and empowering their bodies with essence. (City of the 7 Seraphs)

(Dreamscarred Press: Divergent Paths Rajah)
Soulforge: Using the might of their weapon and armor veils alongside the abilities granted by their soul allows the soulforge to fulfill a variety of roles, though they always excel at combat; besting their enemies through their martial prowess empowered by their veils and the abilities granted by their forged souls.
Spellweaver: The spellweaver’s role is primarily determined by the spells they choose to learn and the veils they choose to shape. They can adequately perform many combat roles, from a more martial-focused caster, to a ranged support, to battlefield controller. (Lost Spheres: Classes of the Lost Spheres Spellweaver)
Stormbound: Stormbound are akashic veilweavers that tap into a wild and uncontainable pool of energy infusing their body to form magical constructs known as veils that they can use to shelter their allies, destroy their foes, and warp the very world around themselves, allowing them to control and dominate the battlefield through debilitating akashic effects, or to shape their storm into a weapon with which they can slay their foes.
Transcendent (Akashic): A transcendent’s veilweaving is wide in breadth but narrow in scope; they have unparalleled access to veils, but the number of veils they can call on at any one time is more limited than most veilweavers. However, their natural powers grant them a number of benefits, such as the ability to shape multiple loadouts of veils they can freely switch between.
Thug: Descending from a word which means “deceiver”, the modern thugs are exactly that. Hiding in plain sight and doing the work of their mysterious cults out in the larger world, thugs are an almost unknown force in modern times.
