Understand this choiceFury Shaper subclass
Fury Shaper adds placed totems that provide area effects, including an action-speed ward and a pulse that terrifies enemies.

Blood Thirst immediately refunds an action’s recovery when its attack kills a target, allowing the next queued action to begin sooner.

Frenzy Ward boosts action speed in its area, Fear Ward pulses terror, and single-class Fury Shaper’s Blood Ward grants area life steal.
Understand this choiceChanter chants
Chanter chants provide ongoing area effects, including healing, reduced ranged recovery and reload, and added burn damage on weapon attacks.
Understand this choiceOld Sieke chant
Old Sieke returns a portion of damage dealt as healing to the Chanter and allies in the chant’s area while it remains active.
Understand this choiceMany Lives Passed By
Many Lives Passed By summons skeletons through its chant; the passage says they fight, absorb attacks, and do not count toward summoning totals.
Understand this choiceThe Shield Cracks
The Shield Cracks lowers a target’s armor rating by two, with its duration increasing as the target takes damage.
Understand this choiceMulticlass progression
Multiclass characters gain power levels every three character levels and cannot access ability levels 8 or 9 in either selected class.
Understand this choiceSingle-class progression
Single-class characters gain power levels every two character levels, and the source says ability tiers unlock with each power-level gain.
Understand this choicePower-source pools and Empower
Class abilities spend variable amounts from class-specific pools that replenish outside combat; Empower can strengthen an ability or restore half the maximum pool.
Understand this choiceWizard and casting-class spell limit
Wizards and casting classes have a per-encounter limit on casts of each spell level, but do not need to rest to replenish those casts.

Edition and mechanic limits
- The class ranking passage limits its stated ranking assumptions to real-time-with-pause, full-party Path of the Damned Plus trial of iron play. Its class opinions are not treated here as universal effectiveness claims.
- Steam metadata identifies the PC game and describes customization and ship upgrades but supplies no specific equipment, ship-upgrade, or progression effects.
- The Critical Role Pack passage describes added voices and portraits; no class, equipment, or ship mechanics are established for that pack. Edition-specific differences and a comprehensive DLC mechanics comparison remain unverified.
