Now that you understand the core mechanics and how to build a character from the ground up using statistics and skills, Chapter 3 dives into practical examples: the Character Archetypes. Think of these not as rigid classes, but as familiar templates showcasing how Alacrity’s flexible system can bring classic fantasy roles to life.
Each archetype presented here demonstrates a common combination of primary statistics, signature skills, typical gear, and sometimes unique “Effects” learned through the core magic system. This chapter will explore concepts such as the savage Barbarian, the inspiring Bard, the faithful Cleric, the nature-bound Druid, the stalwart Fighter, the disciplined Monk, the devoted Paladin, the watchful Ranger, the cunning Rogue, and the scholarly Wizard. These are starting points, designed to inspire your own creations and show how different mechanical choices combine to create distinct playstyles within the Alacrity framework. Use them as guides, borrow elements that resonate, or forge your own path entirely – the system is built to accommodate your vision.
