Class trees for player builds, tier gates, and Mantodean Academy certification paths.
To unlock Level 1 of a class in the next tier, a cadet must first reach Level 2 in the required class from the previous tier.
Upon enrollment, cadets are assigned to one of four standard branches. These branches define starting combat identity, equipment permissions, and baseline passive training. Chemist is listed separately because it is a special learned class.
| Class | Status | Archetype | Weapon Permissions | Armor | Affinity | Base Ability | Passive / Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Infantry | Standard core branch | Base melee class | Melee 2, Range 1, Magic 1, Healer 1 | Heavy Armor, Shield | None | N/A | +1 BRK |
| Scout | Standard core branch | Base ranged class | Melee 1, Range 2, Magic 1, Healer 1 | Medium Armor | None | N/A | +1 MV |
| Acolyte | Standard core branch | Base magic class | Melee 1, Range 1, Magic 2, Healer 1 | Light Armor | None | N/A | Elemental study track |
| Sage | Standard core branch | Base healer class | Melee 1, Range 1, Magic 1, Healer 2 | Medium Armor | None | N/A | Support and healing track |
| Chemist | Special learned class | Special healer class | Melee 2, Range 2, Magic 0, Healer 1 | Medium Armor | None | N/A | Medic |
This table records the current known class tree and leaves open space for additional T2, T3, T4, and T5 classes as the DBT system expands.
Tier 1 core classes are starting tracks. Tier 2+ classes are advanced paths unlocked by investing in the prior class. Chemist is a special learned class and must be unlocked through training, licensing, mentorship, story discovery, or another GM-approved method.
Open slots are intentionally included for future T2, T3, T4, and T5 classes without needing to redesign the page.
