Characters in Savage Pathfinder get a Class Edge for free (or a Background or Professional Edge if you prefer). This helps your adventurer capture the feel of the original Pathfinder system’s character classes.
Class Edges are also the foundation for higher Rank advanced Edges and Prestige Edges. Class Edges are usually taken at character creation, as most reflect years of training and specialization. You can take them later (or “multi-class”) if you like, but work with your GM to explain how your character suddenly acquires such impressive abilities later in her career.
Some Edges introduced in this section require a character to take multiple Edges from the same Class Edge tree. This means that in order to take the Legendary Class Edge, the hero must have the core Class Edge and at least that many other Edges requiring the core Edge. For example, "at least two Paladin Edges" requires the Paladin Edge and at least two other Edges that also require Paladin.
Once per Rank, starting at Seasoned, heroes in Savage Pathfinder can take an additional core Class Edge or new core Prestige Edge.
A character taking a new Arcane Background after character creation gets the new powers, and a d4 in its arcane skill if she doesn’t already have it. If she already has an Arcane Background or Mystic Powers, she uses the largest starting pool of Power Points and applies any increases from other Edges or abilities to it. All of her Arcane Backgrounds and Mystic Powers share this one pool of Power Points. Otherwise, she also gets the Power Points listed for the Edge.
Class Edge abilities apply only to spells provided by that class.
