Overview

Gameinfo archetypes.jpg

The Archetype is the most fundamental choice made while creating a character. It determines which powers are - and aren't - available for the lifetime of the character. Archetype, along with Origin, Primary Power Sets and Secondary Power Sets, cannot be changed after character creation.

Each archetype will play slightly different than all other archetypes, even archetypes that utilize the same power sets. More information on an archetype's "style" can be found on each archetype page.
