• Base Classe
  • Sub Classes
  • Alternate Classes
• Adept: On its own ill suited, same for most Advance careers
  • Magister: Not sure on how the lore of it is meant to work, but for example give access to some Psyker stuff (Up to rating 3) [Base]
  • Reliquary: Adepts entrusted with specific equipments (ranging from a Condemnor Bolter, Digital weapons and even to a Jokaero, not that this would work here) [Daemon Hunter]
  • Daemonine Seeker: Adepts seeking the names of Daemons, imo not really workable here. [Daemon Hunter]
  • Bonded Emissary: Not suitable here, emmissary of foreign powers (Inquisition, Admech, RT…) [Inquisitor’s Handbook]
  • Xeno-Arcanist: Adepts with Xenos and Cryptic knowledge, being at time able to use Xenotechnology [Inquisitor’s Handbook]
  • Legate Investigator: Not suitable here[Inquisitor’s Handbook]
  • Demagogue: Not really suitable other than for a support ability [Salvation demand Sacrifice]
  • Infil-Traitor: Not suitable, would have to have the character implanted in the Dreg/Scab factions [Salvation demand Sacrifice]
  • Saboteur: Chem uses, Demolitions… [Salvation demand Sacrifice]
  • Malefic Scholar: Adepts with some Warp powers and knowledge, but nothing point to Grendyl being a radical [Radical Handbook]
  • Sage: Just Adept+ [Ascension]
• Sister of Battle: As base, kinda too strong, and not offering much other than Zealot with Power Armour [Inquisitor’s Handbook]
  → There could also be a way to make a Sister work on a different theme, by having it centre quite heavily around the Act of Faiths
  • Sister Hospitalier: Have Carapace armour only [Blood of Martyr]
