You’ve developed a keen eye for investigating mysteries.

Multiclass Investigator Characters

The investigator archetype is a good choice for a character who wants deeper investigations or to plan out their turns in advance; it's a particularly good match for Intelligence-based characters like alchemists, witches, and wizards.
  • Alchemist investigators double down on science and alchemy to better search for clues.
  • Champion investigators can Devise a Stratagem to decide the optimal time to switch from defense to offense.
  • Fighter investigators are constantly searching for optimal stratagems in the heat of battle.
  • Ranger investigators can hunt down their prey in the deepest jungle and the busiest street corner.
  • Spellcaster investigators can use magic and practical skills in pursuit of their lead.
