- Overview: Based on concept/theme/investment, we are requiring specific number of levels in a number of classes. This is not based on mechanics, rather, it is based on the story/lore behind each class. We feel that we've done a good job removing incentive of level-dips for classes, however given the unique nature of the classes below, we are instituting this requirement.
- Example: A Blighter pursuing a path of destruction and immoral decisions for only a single level makes no narrative sense.
- Note: There is no requirement to take the minimum 12 levels by a particular time in your character's build.
- The following classes require 12 levels invested in each:
- Favored Soul
- Monk
- Paladin
- Warlock
