Talislanta has over 100 different archetypes across the different editions of the game. But of course, you can always think of some profession that isn't covered in the game for whatever reason. Here are some of the homemade archetypes ones that have showed up in my campaign. Feel free to borrow them or improve upon them!
| Name | Short Description |
|---|---|
| Cymrilian Disinstigator | Counterintelligence agent for the Seven Kingdoms |
| Thaecian Artisan | Thaecian master craftsman and artist |
| Thaecian Moral Guardian | Thaecian cop |
Thanks to the ineffable Psygoblin for converting these to 10th edition stats!
Whereas it is the purpose of instigators to start things, it is the purpose of Cymrilian Disinstigators to prevent those things from being started. They are the intelligence and counterintelligence arm of the Seven Kingdoms. It is their job to thwart Tanasian rebels, foil Submen plots, expose Rajan intrigues, and generally see to the continued well-being of Cymril and its allies. It is a job that never ends.
