Occult Tradition

 Source Core Rulebook pg. 299 4.0
The practitioners of occult traditions seek to understand the unexplainable, categorize the bizarre, and otherwise access the ephemeral in a systematic way. Bards are the most iconic occult spellcasters, collecting strange esoterica and using their performances to influence the mind or elevate the soul, and occult sorcerers strive to understand the mysterious power in their blood.
Filter Use These filters are still being tested and do not currently function properly on Mobile (Desktop View will work). Please use the Contact Us field on the main menu to report any issues.
You can apply filters, sort by, or hide columns by right-clicking them on a PC, or pressing ≡ on mobile. Your column order and visibility preferences will be kept after you switch pages.
All columns should function as the filters describe, with the following exceptions:
  • 'Between' Function: To use the 'between' function on any number column, separate each number with a space and then select the 'between' option (eg: '4 10', minus the quotations would get all results between 4 and 10).
  • True/False Columns: Check the box and set the filter as 'EqualTo' for only True results or set the filter to 'NotEqualTo' for only False results (vice versa works).
  • Heightenable Spells: This column shows whether or not a spell has other effects when heightened.
  • Traits: Use 'Contains' for one Trait at a time. Does not support multiple Traits yet.
