Hello, and welcome! This is the first major update/expansion for Barest Bones. Humanity Strange and Wild contains six complex and wild new classes, intended to showcase some elements of the greater Starstained universe that were not included in the initial release. 

You want a summary of these classes? Sure! I can provide that

PACKLESS SHIFTER

Shifters are people who have, unwillingly or not, had the soul of another grafted onto theirs. Typically, this is the soul of an attuned animal that has lingered through sheer force of will. The physical form of the shifter will occasionally turn into that of the grafted soul, especially on a certain phase of the moon.

BLOODLESS VAMPIRE

Vampires are people who have elected to cultivate a particular curse in themselves. This curse grants them great power, at the cost of a reliance on human blood to sustain their soul. Should they fail to feed themselves, the curse will eat all of their soul for sustenance and both will cease to be.

BROKEN AUTOMATA

Automata are typically humanoid machines, outfitted with a core of collapse crystal. This strange mineral forms around the site of a collapsing. While this crystal core has led to wild advancements in engineering and technology, its use is rare due to being volatile when improperly handled. Somehow, Automata are starting to exhibit sentience. They hide this fact from most humans, and meet in secret with trusted revolutionaries, to prevent their extermination.

SCORNED ASTROLOGIST

Astrologists (otherwise known as synth mages) are people who desire to use magic, but have not been born with attunement. Rather than using sigils, they’ve decided to study and channel the force of the collapse into their own spells. This field of study is risky however, and all Astrologists are a direct enemy of the Hukum Arcana.

DREADED DRUID

Druids are attuned people who, rather than channeling magic through spells and signs like alchemists, channel it in a similar method to attuned animals and plants. This use of primordial and instinctive magic gives the druid some edge over an alchemist, being able to channel with far less cost. However, the versatility and potential power of an alchemist will tend to trump the druid.

UNHEARD SPEAKER

Speakers are attuned people that have died and been risen again by the world soul. It is unknown why these people are selected to live again, when so many are not. These speakers tend to become the voice of a certain community or cause, their strength tied to the trust and respect of their comrades.

That's all for now! Next up, we are working on Pregens, Premade Adventures, and Statblock sheets for gamemasters. Thank you so much for your continued interest in Barest Bones. This was all made for you, after all.
