- | * If you would like to accompany the player party on an adventure, but not fight, you may want to play a Herald of Echoes. These characters are not created in the same way. For more information, see the [[:supplementary_rules#Herald_of_Echoes|Supplementary Rules]]. | + | * Players may elect to play without offensive weapons as a valid play choice, but will be mechanically at a disadvantage when doing so. We would suggest considering Forest Touched or Erosion Weaver for such a concept. |
