Journey: Exploration Disciplines

UNDER DEVELOPMENT
	This page is currently under development, and as such is somewhat in limbo regarding playtest viability. It is not recommended that information on this page be used or considered for playtesting until it has reached a more stable revision.

 

Alright, so... this is where we talk about explorer disciplines.

Discipline Format

Each discipline has its own nifty little box.

Some specials listed under a discipline may have a term in []'s after or before it, such as [Status] Ward. This means that the special is variable and can be used for a variety of things, and that other disciplines may have something such as Confusion Ward, which will link to the same special, but have the restriction that it function only for the Confusion ailment (for this example).

Selectors

The terms found in brackets are called selectors. Here we'll keep a running list of what they are and what you can select through them.

• Environment: Cavern, Dungeon, Ruin
• Creature: Angel, Demon, Dragon, Elemental, Mechanical, Undead
