Description

The impostor is a new class from The Copper Sanctum. The class is capable of taking on any role, though perhaps not quite as well as a class who's focused on that role. The class includes five archetypes.

The Aspect of Battle
Impostors who follow the Aspect of Battle emulate barbarians, fighters, and monks.

The Aspect of Devotion
Impostors who follow the Aspect of Devotion emulate clerics, druids, paladins, and rangers.

The Aspect of the Occult
Impostors who follow the Aspect of the Occult emulate sorcerers, warlocks, and wizards.

The Aspect of Sabotage
Impostors who follow the Aspect of Sabotage emulate rangers, rogues, and monks.

The Aspect of Words
Impostors who follow the Aspect of the Occult emulate bards and rogues.
