Playing an Archmind

Combat: An Archmind's role in combat is dependent on their base class. Some may be healers, others may be high damage-dealers, others support. An Archmind can fit any of the normal spellcaster/manifester roles.

Advancement: An Archmind will be most successful as a Wizard or Psion, or corresponding class, and are required to have a level in a spellcasting/manifesting class to become an Archmind.

Resources: They can expect to use their power and knowledge to their advantage when bargaining with magic and psionic users. Those who have a thirst for knowledge will be eager for you to share a secret, spell, or other bit of power in return for something useful.
