They're ideal for players who aren't sure what sort of character they want to play, and the available archetypes can also help set the tone of the setting.As War of the Burning Sky is designed for D&D, it makes a number of references to D&D classes - such as the distinction between wizards and sorcerers, or the role of clerics as inquisitors. Therefore I thought it would be appropriate to create a list of archetypes based on D&D classes.Note that these are optional. Players can instead create a character from scratch, or they can use an archetype as a starting point and swap out things they don't like.BarbarianAttributes: Agility d6, Smarts d4, Spirit d6, Strength d8, Vigor d8 Skills: Climbing d4, Evading d6, Fighting d6, Healing d4, Intimidation d6, Notice d4, Riding d4, Survival d4, Swimming d4, Throwing d6, Tracking d4 Charisma: –; Pace: 6; Parry: 5; Toughness: 7 (1) Hindrances: One Major, Illiterate, and one additional Minor Edges: Berserker Rage Gear: Battleaxe, 2 throwing axes, thick furs (+1 armour) BardAttributes: Agility d6, Smarts d6, Spirit d8, Strength d6, Vigor d4 Skills: Evading d6, Fighting d6, Knowledge (Bardic Lore) d6, Lockpicking d4, Notice d4, Persuasion d8, Riding d4, Shooting d4, Stealth d4, Streetwise d4 Charisma: +2; Pace: 6; Parry: 7 (2); Toughness: 5 (1) Hindrances: One Major, two Minor Edges: Charismatic, Bard Gear: Rapier, main gauche, dagger, shortbow, light leather vest (+1 armour) Cleric Attributes: Agility d6, Smarts d6, Spirit d8, Strength d6, Vigor d4 Skills: Evading d6, Faith d8, Fighting d6, Healing d6, Knowledge (Religion) d6, Notice d4, Persuasion d4, Riding d4, Throwing d4 Charisma: –; Pace: 6; Parry: 6 (1); Toughness: 6 (2) Hindrances: One Major, two Minor Edges: Arcane Background (Miracles), Holy Warrior Powers: Healing (cure wounds), Succor Gear: Warhammer, target shield, sling, light chainmail vest (+2 armour) Druid Attributes: Agility d6, Smarts d6, Spirit d8, Strength d4, Vigor d6 Skills: Evading d6, Faith d8, Fighting d6, Healing d4, Knowledge (Nature) d6, Notice d4, Riding d4, Survival d4, Swimming d4, Tracking d4 Charisma: –; Pace: 6; Parry: 6 (1); Toughness: 6 (1) Hindrances: One Major, two Minor Edges: Arcane Background (Miracles), Beast Master Powers: Beast Friend, Summon Ally (wolf for 2 PP, bull for 3 PP, or shark for 3 PP) Gear: Staff, sling, light leather vest (+1 armour) Fighter Attributes: Agility d8, Smarts d4, Spirit d6, Strength d8, Vigor d6 Skills: Evading d8, Climbing d4, Fighting d8, Intimidation d4, Knowledge (Battle) d4, Notice d4, Riding d4, Shooting d8, Throwing d4 Charisma: –; Pace: 6; Parry: 7 (1); Toughness: 8 (3) Hindrances: One Major, two Minor Edges: Brawny Gear: Longsword, target shield, dagger, shortbow, breastplate (+3 armour) MonkAttributes: Agility d8, Smarts d4, Spirit d6, Strength d6, Vigor d6 Skills: Climbing d4, Evading d8, Faith d8, Fighting d8, Healing d4, Knowledge (Religion) d4, Notice d4, Stealth d4 Charisma: –; Pace: 6; Parry: 5; Toughness: 5 Hindrances: One Major, two Minor Edges: Arcane Background (Miracles), Natural Weapons (martial arts: Str+d4) Powers: Smite (psychic infusion), Deflection Gear: Robes Note: You qualify for the Adept Edge, and can take it with your next advance.

One of them is the introduction of an Evading skill: Parry is now half Evading plus 2 (the Fighting skill becomes purely offensive). Evading is also used in place of Agility when evading area attacks, diving for cover, avoiding the Entangle power, Full Defense, and (at the GM's discretion) avoiding certain traps. As compensation for spreading skill points a bit thinner, all characters begin with a free advance.</blockquote>
