Archetypes
One of, if not the most core principle in our game design, is endless customization. In RavenQuest there is no fixed class system which often results in a rigid and uncreative path for the rest of your adventure.
In RavenQuest we have a multi-archetype system allowing you to completely customize your play-style at all times during your adventures. Players can have 3 different Archetypes active at one time, each one with their own unique spells and passives, allowing for enormous depth of customization on how you build your character to fit your perfect play-style.
Archetypes can be changed at anytime, creating a dynamic and highly fluid system. But there are many other ways you can further customize your character! — RavenCards, Passives, Legacy Spells, Equipment, Enchantments and Reputation path will all allow you to make your build even more unique from another.
Ranged combat & ability to outpace opponents with speed and vision.
