With the new archetypes found in the upcoming War of the Immortals rulebook, players will take the archetype at 1st level and then take a specific feat at 2nd level. Typically, archetypes replace some core class function or adjust it in some way, while leaving access to other feats and abilities. In Pathfinder 1E, the bloodrager mixed together sorcerer and barbarian features, granting the class access to both rage and some spellcasting. For Pathfinder 2E, the bloodrager is a new barbarian class archetype, with access to blood rage, which adds persistent bleed damage to attacks and adds rage damage to spells. The bloodrager also has a Harvest Blood action that allows them to refresh temporary Hit Points and boost saving throws against those they've used the action against.The vindicator is a revised form of the Inquisitor (Paizo notes that evil deities' vindicators are still called Inquisitors) and serves as a ranger class archetype. The vindicator chooses a deity and is trained in the deity's favored weapon, and they also gain a special hunter's edge and have access to some domain spells. The aim of the vindicator is to utilize the ranger's combat abilities along with the archetype's enhancements to hunt down monsters and target specific prey. Paizo also noted that the change from inquisitor to vindicator was to move away from the real-world negative historical connotations of the inquisitor. Both archetypes are represented in War of the Immortals with new Iconics, with Imrijka returning from Pathfinder 1E to represent the vindicator and the new character Trzikhun representing the bloodrager. Paizo also introduced a new class archetype - the avenger, a rogue archetype - in the article as well. War of the Immortals will be released in October 2024 and deals with the fallout of the death of Gorum, the god of war. Two new classes are also being introduced in the book, as well as rules for mythic classes. <h3></h3></blockquote>
