Scientists who draw on the various fields of biology to buff allies and weaken enemies. Their ''Fields of Study'' include:
** ''Genetics'': The study of living creatures’ inherited characteristics; boosts allies hearing capabilities and strip away enemies immunities and resistances.
** ''Immunology'': The study of how living creatures’ bodies fight off diseases and other maladies; boosts allies' Fortitude saves while debuffing enemies'.
** ''Neurochemistry'': The study of the chemicals that affect creatures’ brains and nerves (or related cognitive systems; allows allies to ignore some mental status effects while making enemies more susceptible to them.
** ''Pharmacology'': The study of drugs and their effects on living creatures; able to staunch allies' bleeding while making their enemies encumbered and sluggish.
** ''Toxicology'': The study of the adverse effects certain chemicals have on living creatures; can have allies harder to hit with natural weapons, while making enemies sickened at the same time.

Front-line fighters who channel the energies of entropy with their touch.
to:
Front-line fighters who channel the energies of entropy with their touch. The ways they use their entropic powers, called ''Aspects'', are:
** ''Boundary'': Embodies the forces that keep a system separated from its surroundings; these Vanguards are experts at avoiding damage, gaining entropy by ''not'' getting hit and spreading their mitigating feature to their allies.
** ''Cascade'': Embodies a single change in the balance of a system’s entropy that cascades into additional, progressively greater changes. These Vanguard work best when attacking or effecting multiple foes, or applying maluses to a single hostile.
** ''Exergy'': Embodies the total amount of potential work the energy in a system can perform when accessed by entropy. These Vanguards are all about damage, gaining entropy points by attacking multiple times and increasing their (or anyone else's) damage on a single opponent.
** ''Inversion'': Embodies the role chaos plays within entropy; the Vanguards can heal allies of their stamina or health while rerolling failed saving throws, making them even harder to take down.
** ''Momentum'': Embodies energy states that are preserved in ongoing motion, isolated from entropy. The Vanguards are at their peak when either they or their enemies are moving.
** ''Reaction'': Embodies the change entropy brings about through biological, chemical, and molecular reactions, such as rust and rot. These Vanguards excel when applying status conditions onto their enemies, even able to poison them with entropic energy.

** [[StealthExpert Stealth]]: Small sized drones that have one weapon installed on them, they're used for more stealthy incursion and activities, helped by the fact that they are automatically equipped with climbing claws to hang on the ceilings and walls, and the ability to blend into the environment when standing still.

!!Core Classes
[[folder:Envoy]]
Ambassadors, con artists, and enforcers who have a knack for getting people to do what they want. In combat Envoys have access to improvisations that provide bonuses to allies and hamper enemies, while outside of combat they have a number of bonuses to boost their skills.
* JackOfAllTrades: Envoys have a large number of class skills and get a large number of skill ranks every time they level up.
* UtilityPartyMember: Their large number of class skills and skill ranks in addition to their class ability "Expertise," which gives significant bonuses to a few select skills, make them excellent skill monkeys. This is reinforced by the fact that their core ability score is charisma, which makes them the best suited for social situations.

[[folder:Mechanic]]
Mechanics come in two flavors: those who built a robotic drone and those who augment themselves with technology in the form of an exocortex. The former has a potent sidekick capable of providing additional fire support, scouting ahead, and a number of other uses depending on how they're specialized. The latter gets increased combat and hacking capabilities as their exocortex becomes more sophisticated. In the party, they're the one to turn to if you need something hacked, hotwired, or cobbled together.
* {{Cyborg}}: Mechanics with an exocortex have it implanted in their bodies to directly interface with their minds.
* GadgeteerGenius: They're the best choice to specialize in engineering, which in turn makes them the best at building tech items.

[[folder:Mystic]]
Spellcasters who draw power from sources greater than themselves. Mystics are good support spellcasters in a party as the only class with access to healing spells as well as a number of useful buffs and debuffs.
* AkashicRecords: One of the specialization options is Akashic, which revolves around knowledge and memories.
* ReligionIsMagic: Not necessarily. While the source of their power can be a god, it can just as easily be something like nature itself, bypassing nature gods entirely. It's very convenient for avoid the issue of having your power source take your magic back if they don't like how you're acting.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Operative]]
Skilled infiltrators, thieves, and assassins.
* BackStab: Their trick attack, which deals bonus damage and can impose some serious debuffs.
* JackOfAllTrades: They get a bonus to all skills, one that increases with level.
* KnifeNut: Knives are one of the only weapons they can use to deliver trick attacks, so expect to see these a lot.
* TheSneakyGuy: Being good at stealth lets them make the most of their trick attacks.
* SniperRifle: Besides the Solider, Operatives are the only core class to be proficient in sniper weapons.

[[folder:Solarian]]
Warriors who draw power from the balance of the cosmos, manifesting it as either a weapon or armor made of energy as well as a variety of gravity or light based powers. Solarians are good at crowd controlling enemies while staying mobile, with additional focus on frontline combat if they chose to manifest a weapon.
* EnergyBlade: Their solar manifestation can take the form of any one handed melee weapon they choose but always appears to be made of either blinding light or absolute darkness.
* MundaneUtility: When not forming a weapon or armor, the Solarian's power condenses into a glowing mote that orbits them. The light is bright enough to see by, saving players the few credits a flashlight might cost.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: The black hole revelation, which is granted automatically to all level 1 solarians, drags enemies closer.
