V9:Picks

From V9 Development
Developer Note: The current V9 Rules can be found here.

The V9 Wiki is currently obsolete. The Project Phoenix Google Doc is the main source of V9 rules going forward.
We will eventually rebuild the wiki as a comprehensive rules reference, but now is not that time.

Thank you for your interest in the project! Join the Discord for more information!

  • This wiki is the detailed, comprehensive form of the ruleset. You can find the condensed Quick-Play rules here. These are currently still a work in progress.

Picks

This customization method is used for melee and equipment-oriented classes.


HOW IT WORKS

  • At level 1, you will receive a preset list of abilities.
  • For levels 2-6, you will make picks from a list of rows and options within those rows. The higher level you are, the more picks you can make.
  • If you are level 3 or above, you may also choose an archetype that offers extra benefits in exchange for restricting your picks and possibly other drawbacks.

See below for a visual example with further details

If that row has multiple options, pick one of those options and gain everything from that option.
