Mechanics explainers written from the game's own data — every number is measured from the client, and every claim links to a dataset you can query through the API.

Combat & builds

How prerequisite checks actually workThe two-bucket All/Any algorithm, the ForcedTrue feature-vs-class divergence, base-stat comparison rules, and the class-taking rulebook — measured from build 20212986's own data.Feats & Traits
The mythic path system: unlocks, ranks, and merged spellbooksTen playable paths, twenty unlock events, rank tracks that skip levels by design, and why only Angel and Lich merge your spellbook.Mythic Paths
The feat economy: what your picks actually draw from9,545 features ship but your ten odd-level picks draw from a 260-item general pool — the census of every selection economy, from combat feats to oracle revelations.Feats & Traits
The resource economy: one pool, many spenders667 named pools behind every class ability — the biggest feeds 128 consumers, most caps are 1, and the Kineticist's burn is capped at 999,999.Classes
Archetypes are diff patches, not classes219 archetypes apply 1,298 additions and 1,235 removals to their base classes — a trade, not an upgrade, with spellbook rewrites as the heavy exception.Classes
Inside the level-up screen: the CharGen pipelineCreation and level-up share one ten-phase machine — every phase a renderer over data the database already serves.Classes
Where features come from: provenance chains4,642 grant chains traced — 52% of features are reachable more than one way, and Animal Companion's chain runs 427 origins deep.Feats & Traits
The Kineticist, dissected: 800 blueprints of pure damage184 composite blasts, 135 infusions, seven archetypes — and a verb profile that flips the game's buff-to-damage ratio entirely.Classes
