  • Requires: A pre-existing template
  • Rank 4 only, 30 GXP

Your character gains access to another character template. The new template gains only a single Rank 1 power.

The chosen template does not have to be from among your race's Favored Templates.


Template Chosen You may select <>
Adept A Rank 1 Discipline with Prowess and a Rank 1 ability within that Discipline
Channeler A Rank 1 Domain with the Domain Power and a Rank 1 power within one of the Line of that Domain
Mage A Rank 1 Sphere and a Rank 1 spell within that Sphere
Shaman A Rank 1 Spirit that can be chosen to be either Imbued or Manifested and a Rank 1 Spell from either the Shared Shaman Spells or from within that Spirit
Sorcerer A Rank 1 Seed and the Rank 1 power from that Seed

Notes from the Metaworld:

  • This is often what is referred to as 'dual classing' or 'triple classing' or 'quad classing' in other systems, depending on how many templates you gain.
  • It should be discussed in depth with your Storyteller before purchasing, as there are several combinations that may become disallowed for thematic or story reasons. For example a Channeler with the Avatar Domain may not gain another template ever, although a non-Channeler may gain Channeling and the Avatar Domain.
  • In play testing, it is often a challenge to pick what to spend experience on within a pre-existing template, and it has been found that with even 1 added template the overall progression of the primary template is hampered.
