Talents (Exemplar)

The Exemplar archetype offers unique talents that you can select as you progress. These are distinct from the talents available through Basic Archetypes, allowing you to further specialize your character at the highest levels.

Keep in mind that these talents build upon your previous choices. You'll want to consider how they synergize with your existing build, especially if you've focused on specific characteristics or skills earlier in the game. The path to becoming an Exemplar is about refining your chosen path to its absolute peak.
