Races and Classes Rules (Thematic)

Scope

Use this skill when players ask what a race/class "does" in play, what roles they support, or how to combine them.

Race rule themes

• Races define baseline stat profile, movement profile, creation health, and advancement health.
• Many races include unique action-economy tools (heroic, minor, reaction features).
• Racial kits emphasize identity lanes:
  • mobility/stealth races,
  • support/coordination races,
  • durability/bruiser races,
  • psychic-tech hybrid races.

Class rule themes

• Classes define combat role and signature tactical loop:
  • Soldier: team coordination + cover optimization.
  • Vanguard: heavy fire lanes + firing-position pressure.
  • Sniper: long-range precision + awareness denial.
  • Warrior: melee tempo + disruption.
  • Operative: stealth-tech control + flanking value.
  • Psychic: utility/control/healing via psychic point economy.

Cross-synergy guidance

• Match race initiative/mobility with classes that need tempo windows.
• Match race willpower/intelligence with psychic or control-heavy builds.
• Match high toughness/strength profiles with frontline melee or suppression roles.
• Use feat substitutions to patch gaps (training, movement, survivability).

Build constraints to respect

• Feature slot caps (heroic and non-heroic) still apply regardless of source.
• Level requirements and prerequisite chains must be met.
• Some race/class effects interact with battlefield conditions (cover, concealment, adjacency, awareness).
