Dreamer (New Deific order for Lakshmi): A dreamer worships the fortune goddess, Lakshmi. Offering good health, luck and fortune to all those who follow in her glorious name, kept safe in her loving arms. – Created by Moggle Mog.
Dream Sage (New Illusionist archetype): Dream sages are a strange group of illusory soothsayers and spies. To them, the information provided by the unconscious mind is a treasure trove of secrets to be protected or exploited. When facing a dream sage, one must be careful; for they can manifest the chaotic aspects of dreams and make them seep into reality. – created by Reggie
Duelist (New Fencer archetype): A warrior with a touch of finesse with some focus on talents on locking enemies in combat to hold the front or parry attacks none other could withstand.
Emissary (New Cleric archetype): Although clerics are faithful servants of their divine patron by choice, others have less agency in their calling. Whether due to divine selection or simply the whims of fate, emissaries are thrust into the role of speaker for their deity whether they desire it or not. They wield great authority, but this power comes at the price of a grim curse—and yet they are unable to turn aside from their path, else greater misfortune befall them. Though they may live many years in the manner they wish, there will come a day when they must deliver a message to their deity’s intended audience. – created by Virgil

Jewel Knight (New Quadav Geomancer archetype): Among the quadav, in worlds where the land’s energies were a chaotic flux and leylines were disrupted, throwing the energies of nature into chaos, Geomancers were slowly dying out, their natural means of drawing their strengths disrupted and weakened. However, one quadav found a means of drawing elemental energies through the use of jewels, and from it, she founded the Order of the Jewel Knights, an armored and martial branch of the Quadav Geomancers who draws their powers and talents from the very minerals that come from the land itself. – Created by GregarMoon
Ki Warrior (Monk archetype): Super Transformation: fatigue cannot be ignored by fatigue-immune races.

Nightmare Controller (New Illusionist archetype): Since the dawn of man and beasts, one thing that is shared amongst all that lives, is fear itself. Fear can cripple hope and destroy dreams. Fear can manifest as nightmares within those who sleep. Fear can drive man to insanity and commit heinous acts. Fear can even kill outright. Nightmare controllers are the embodiment of this primal force, instilling fear into the hearts of men and beasts, and at the height of their powers, even those that should not fear. – created by GregarMoon.
Nimble Stalker (formerly a Ixal Fighter archetype): Race lock removed.
Poledancer (Dancer archetype): Jump now allows 2x base speed distance. Removed mention of height.
