Traveler content: Archetype of the explorer

Wanderings, mysteries and taste for danger



In Kaode, before leaving for the Known World, a traveler chooses his archetype among five propositions

Each archetype confers a certains capacity right from the beginning and represent different traveling philosophies, different ways to play the game.

On level 15, then 25, the player is asked to choose a direction, a branch in his archetypal tree.
Through these choices, the traveler will grow and specialize himself. He will gain two new abilities during his adventure. (Beware though, some choices can hinder others).



Today, we present you in exclusivity an archetype we particularly like: the Adventurer!

Description: Curious by nature and fond of great spaces, the adventurer wishes to meet unexpected characters, to find himself in beautiful and terrible situation. To sum up, he wants to be the hero of the stories he used to read, and absorb the world in his memories.

Archetype’s abilities at level 1:

- An adventurer has 3% more chances to make random encounter than a common traveler.
- When he’s himself about to enter a fight, he receives a 5% bonus on physical and ranged attacks, as well as on physical and ranged defence, and 10% more vitality and maximum energy points.

As you can read, the adventurer is thus a proactive character, wishing for a life full of twists, not afraid to face some obstacles!

Let’s see what choices you have at level 15.

Proposition n°2

Going away and living in the fast lane, or following things through.
What adventurer will you be?

Of course, if you take a close look at an adventurer, you’ll discover that it is possible to choose both possibilities. But first, let’s see what level twenty-five is likely to bring to your traveler.



--- Archetypal level #3
