There are more than enough archetypes already, but I might as well write down any other ideas that come up. If you're a player, you can just ignore this page.

new generic action: Assist. range 1m, targets an ally. roll a trigger die; target ally can use that die instead of rolling their own. die disappears at beginning of target's next turn. might be kinda broken in operations though. nurturer is especially good at assisting, wastelander has unique ability to assist self. maybe make this nurterer exclusive instead of generic ability

• Team Mom (needs a gender-neutral, single-word name- “Nurturer” maybe)
  • Have things that other members forgot to pack
  • Share your resources efficiently (when you use it, one other teammate can also use that same resource once for free during same exploration turn?)
  • Encourage team members to do their best
  • The social/operations equivalent of the tactician?
  • can end/cancel somebody's Stress-related breakdown. Cannot for self unless someone else is present that they have to stay strong for.

• Chaosbringer
  • Create randomized magical effects. This archetype would require a bigass chart like the mutations one to be fun/function correctly. Unlike mutations, would have to be specific, quickly implementable, highly reuseable, more variable.
  • Advanced abilities grant more control over chaos or limited shielding from unwanted results

• Elementalist
  • If you have levels in more than one elemental archetype, combine their functionality (10+ attacks deal all conditions simultaneously, can throw all conditions simultaneously with 1 action)
  • Deal random elemental conditions
  • Do weird things when multiple elements combine (make a chart?)

• Alchemist
  • Short list of potion types. Can create a potion of any type by spending Supplies (Provisions? Dosh?) Anybody holding a potion can consume it as an action to gain its benefit. Potions spoil at end of session.
  • Start each new session with some free potions
  • Batch-brewing: chance to create a second free duplicate when creating any potion
  • Expanded brewing list? Depends how good the original list is. This is a hard maybe.
  • Catalysts: Create a potion on demand as a single action. Increased cost, maybe.
  • Gathering: can find ingredients for random potion types for free sometimes

• Pepster
  • Can sprint/double attack/etc by sacrificing 2 Attention instead of 1 Energy.
  • Talk about anything, forever. Be annoyingly extra about everything.
  • Manic Pixie Dream Pepster: penchant for dramatic and transformative entry into the lives of strangers. Force them to be your friend even if they don't wanna.
  • Victory Dance: regain 1 Flesh and instantly clear all damaging conditions at end of battle/immediate danger

• Cartoon
  • Can walk straight over nothing so long as you don't look down. Hard to resist looking down, chance each round.
  • Can hide behind things that are much smaller than you. Overlap with Elusive?
  • Can enter one door and exit any other nearby door
  • Amusing injuries (accordion squish, soot-covered after explosion, etc)
  • Create a big ball of violence when getting into a fight, all participants considered adjacent, draws in bystanders, hard to escape
  • Important/hidden things are conspicuously lighter than the rest of the background
  • Hammerspace is more of a dimensionist thing, but big dumb hammer smacks might be a thing

• Dreamwalker
  • Mostly needs rules to better define the purpose of going into the dreamworld (what kinds of information are available there, what else can be done there that's directly relevant) and random tables to help generate trippy environments on demand.
  • Other than that, basic tricks to make travel to/from and manipulation of the dreamworld easier.

• Lawyer
  • When making an agreement or contract, can include one ambiguity or loophole to exploit later that nobody else notices. Don't have to decide what it is until you use it.
  • catch somebody else in a lie or doing something they shouldn't and you gain some kind of leverage?
  • Chewbacca Defense: confuse a target with legalese.
  • Objection: interrupt what somebody else is saying, chance to completely undermine them

• Celebrity
  • You have a Brand, 1-3 keyword adjectives that describe your public image. gain bonus when acting in accordance with your brand, but penalty when acting in a way that contradicts it
  • many people have a relationship with the false you that they've constructed in their heads. % chance to treat anyone as an instant Bond if you play to your public persona
  • place fans/paparazzi/stalkers in any scene where you are? dunno why you'd want this though. maybe useful to have lookalikes everywhere?
  • agent? they manage your appearances and smooth over anything you do that's off-brand
  • endorsement: can make anything more popular
  • your money's no good here: whenever you spend Dosh, random chance to get the thing free
  • everyone knows who you are. can be both good and bad.

• Native
  • you have a specific biome you're a native of. can avoid hazards, etc there
  • choose your random encounters in that biome
  • can change/expand biome nativity?
  • might even be able to expand this into different archetypes for different biomes specifically, like sylvan (brachiate), mountaineer, plainswalker, urbanite, wastelander, boreal, delver, etc. mariner/spacer are already a thing. Dreamwalker would also be in this category. would be more flavorful than just getting generic benefits in a biome of your choice. Might even subsume ranger.

• Eidolonist
  • STANDO POWAH. Needs something to set it apart from summoner tho

• Wastelander
  • Terrain-specific to deserts. No stress from hot environments
  • Don't need to drink water? Can get it from food. Not really a mechanical distinction here though. Maybe simply eat less? Kinda verdants thing
  • sandswim!
  • quicksand, sandpits, antlions- both avoiding and being
  • wastelander from radiant, give it something else
  • kick sand during fights
  • okay with being alone
  • defend resources
  • Navigate- pathfinder from ranger

• Sylvan
  • Terrain-specific to forests
  • Brachiate
  • Always, always have partial concealment when in areas of high natural growth
  • get where you want to be by getting lost

• Plainswalker
  • Terrain-specific to grasslands
  • marathoner: increase overland travel speed for self and party

• Financier or maybe Scrooge
  • Take the more abstract money stuff from Merchant, give it exclusively merchanty stuff instead
  • stock market investments allow for gain/loss of Dosh each session
  • Spend Supplies to negate Stress? like how Chef negates Stress using Provisions 1/day, synergy with Grinder's Overtimer

• Vehicle
  • All the different rules for vehicles turned into archetype features instead (improved speed but restricted movement mode, creature encumbrance vs item encumbrance, etc)
  • Allows you to play a sentient motorcycle, big ups
  • Vehiclist turns into you controlling an empty creature with no self-determination, which is honestly about right
  • apply all condition immunities and environmental protections to everything you're carrying

• some shit I dunno lol Condemner?
  • “Doomed” elemental condition: deals unavoidable unreduceable damage equal to current Escalation at the moment it gets removed. does nothing while you have it. escalation continues to rise round by round while somebody's doomed even if no other dangers are present.
  • end your doomed on command/automatically if you are killed
  • take double escalation from calamitist, combine with doomed immunity
