Developer Owlcat Games continues to share information about the upcoming expansion ‘A Dance of Masks’, the sixth and the final premium DLC for cRPG Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Following a short teaser trailer, the team dove right into the new Archetypes coming with the DLC.
This is not the first time that new Archetypes got introduced to WotR, the previous DLC “The Lord of Nothing” added 15 of them. However, some classes were left out, and now it’s their turn to get new goodies.
“This time, we really let our imaginations run wild, and developed many of these archetypes specifically for Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. As is tradition, we have split this article into two parts because we have so much material to cover. We will be introducing more new content in part two, so make sure to watch for its release! We hope you are as inspired as we are to try these new archetypes on your next playthrough!”
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous – A Dance of Masks Archetypes Include:
- Monk – Drunken Master. The Drunken Master archetype allows ki point abilities to be used more frequently, and also provides specific bonuses based on the monk’s level of intoxication. Incredibly, this monk regenerates ki points by drinking alcoholic beverages, and the higher the monk’s level, the more ki points they can accumulate. At higher levels, the Drunken Master gains the ability to produce alcohol, further enhancing the monk’s combat abilities.
- Slayer – Bloodseeker. Although the Bloodseeker is not a true vampire, the cursed bloodline they have inherited endows them with near-vampiric powers. The Bloodseeker does not possess slayer talents. Instead, they gain access to a wide range of new abilities that can be expended using blood points. These points are accumulated by performing critical bite attacks, or by sucking the blood from nearby enemies while in raven form.
- Fighter — Titan Fighter. This archetype has no difficulty using two huge weapons at once to deliver powerful blows and pulverize foes.
- Skald — Inciter. This skald archetype uses insults and taunts to provoke the enemy into abandoning their defenses and attacking recklessly… then finishes them off with a dagger from behind. The Inciter gains access to a sneak attack, which can be enhanced through a rogue’s advanced abilities. At higher levels, this archetype can also learn to channel these abilities using inspired rage!
- Bard – Chelaxian Diva. This archetype offers new performance abilities which allow bards to take on a more aggressive role. The masterful voice of the Chelaxian Diva strengthens allies and bursts enemy eardrums — sometimes simultaneously!
- Inquisitor — Living Grimoire. The Living Grimoire is a new interpretation of Paizo’s original archetype. This Inquisitor archetype possesses a unique weapon: a large sacred tome. It can be used to instruct demons on the path to truth.
