The Game
Species
Sector 4 is blooming with intelligent life across its multiple planets. Amongst those, there are 4 space-faring species that have given birth to wondrous star-spanning civilizations
Those species are the Kiwari, Fennos, Guajan-ni, and Humans.
What are the differences between Species?
The playable species are chosen during character creation and defines many of the character’s attributes, such as their appearance, their native language and their cultural backdrop. The different species have their own sub-cultures and factions, granting the player a range of choices to personalize their character. Each species comes with their own Traits, Abilities and Skill modifiers, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Each species also comes with one or more subspecies, members of the same species that for biological or social reasons are physically different, and possess their own unique mechanics.
Careers
In Sector 4, a character's broad skills and knowledge are segmented into 12 Careers, each with two tiers of power and at least two specialization options. A level 1 character starts with only a single tier one career but through their journey to level 20, they will gain another four points to further grow in strength. The game's core mechanics are built to make multiclassing as simple as possible, and allow thousands of possible combinations for customization.
