LAWHAMMER CAREERS 2: PATH OF THE SEER (Patreon)

EDIT: Career Updated See the change log at the bottom.

Early morning post ahoy!

As promised, here's the first of the Elf paths for you all to have a look at (attached as a pdf below). This is the Path of the Seer, an aspect of Morai-heg the Crone, which is a great place to begin given it's the path Alamennowyth was on before switching up to the Path of Shadows (coming later).

For the details of how to use this career, which is for elves only, check the WiP elves path rules here. You'll also want to dip into our talents here.

Much like the path rules, this career is WiP and currently All-access only until I'm happy with it, so it's very likely to be changed.

Also, be aware that this career may appear normal, but it really isn't. Elves following a path move sloooowly in comparison to other PCs - but they also end up much more broadly capable. For example, after a year of play, Lindsay is just moving into tier 3 of her careers, and that's only going to significantly slow as she advances.

A further warning, this set of rules ranges from standard Elves to mid-teir to powerful to nigh-on godlike entities like Ariel and Alarielle. It's a full WARHAMMER career, so to speak, spanning everything the game can offer Elves. The top tiers aren't really there for PCs (it would likely take years of play at the least), but are super handy for creating NPCs at the top end if you want such for your games (and most games won't need them - but as most of you know, LAWhammer is specifically designed to be unlike most WFRP games).

Of course, this all suits the LAWhammer style of play perfectly. But it may not suit your games at all. So make sure you read all the rules closely to best determine if they match your preferences before using them.

Additionally, unlike the core careers I'm publicly publishing, the elven-path careers contain more detail. It's important they are covered more deeply as these careers are new. Also, they are effectively religious careers, so discussing each of the Elf gods as we go is also pretty important.

Anyway, that's enough chat, let's get to the path itself!

Good start!

As always, dive into Discord if you have comments, questions, chat, or more about this one. The more comments on these the better.
