Prophet of KalistradeSource Shining Kingdoms pg. 74You’ve dedicated your life to the teachings of
Kalistrade, a mystic whose writings promise success through a restrictive set of practices. When you joined the Prophets of Kalistrade, you agreed to abide by the edicts of its eponymous founder. You follow a diet that prizes certain virtuous foods and avoids impure sustenance. You frequently meditate to keep yourself sharp. You value finding clever loopholes and making good deals as long as you don’t ruin another’s fortune entirely.
Dedicating yourself to Kalistocratic ways opened many doors when it comes to business connections and entrepreneurial knowledge. Like any good Kalistocrat, you turn one advantage into a stepping stone toward the next. Between your connections, your social skills, and (of course) your wealth, it’s hard to get one over on you.
Additional Feats
Source Player Core pg. 215 2.0Some archetypes include a list of “Additional Feats” that appear in other sources. The list includes each feat’s level, which might be different than normal when gained from the archetype. You can take the feat as an archetype feat of that level, meaning it counts toward the number of feats required by the archetype’s dedication feat. When selected this way, a feat that normally has a class’s trait (such as the fighter trait) doesn’t have that class trait.
