Hierofant

Playability

Complex
Empathy
Presence

The Hierofant embodies the rare union of faith, technology, and command. They do not simply lead by rank, but by the weight of their presence—instilling conviction in those around them. Where soldiers see chaos, the Hierofant brings order, guiding both people and machines with steady authority.

Drones and engineered constructs extend their reach across the battlefield, reinforcing allies or striking with precision as if moved by the same hand that steadies the weary and directs the brave. Their power lies as much in empathy as in strategy, turning discipline into belief and belief into action.

A Hierofant transforms battle into something greater than survival: it becomes a cause. To march beside them is to fight with conviction, where faith and technology combine into an unbreakable force.

Ability Prioritization Explained

Core Abilities
Empathy: Heartline for mind-to-mind magic and soft control—perfect for Telepathy and Psionics; also steadies calming, guidance, and cohesion work.
Presence: Command aura that makes orders land and magic bite—central to Telepathy/Psionics and directing Drone Mastery or Cloaking Systems under pressure.

Supporting Abilities
Reasoning: Clean targeting, sequencing, and command logic—great for Telepathy structure and Drone Mastery tasking/prioritization.
Self Discipline: Focus under fire—locks Psionics channels and lets you split attention among allies, drones, and threats without drift.

Important Abilities
Agility: Smooth handset control and positioning—useful for active Drone piloting and staying mobile while issuing orders.
Creativity: Inventive problem-solving and misdirection—handy when pushing Cloaking Systems for deception/decoys.
Constitution: Endurance to lead from the front while sustaining channels, auras, and long ops.
Intuition: Situational read—sense shifts in morale, intent, and battlefield flow to cue timely telepathic or drone actions.

Minor Abilities
Quickness: Nice for snap calls, but less critical than steady control for this class.
Memory: Liturgy, protocol trees, and codes—useful, just not a limiter.
Boldness: Helps force a moment, yet guidance and control matter more.
Strength: Rarely deciding for a mind-focused, drone-led commander.
