Discovery Types

    Glaive 
The purest fighter of all the types, any Glaive is an expert warrior that are proficient with any and all weapons that inhabit the areas of the Ninth World. From careful sharpshooters to ironclad berserkers, if there's a physical battle at hand, you'll be glad to have a Glaive at your side.


  • Badass Normal: They have the potential to be this, with even a suggested backstory of where they got their abilities being that they just trained really hard for them. None of their Type abilities are that esoteric, too, with them just focusing on hitting the enemy harder or in a special way.
  • Dumb Muscle: Downplayed; they start off with a lower Intellect pool than the other Types, and are the only Type in the base Discovery book to have an inability with all skills related to numenera.
  • Multi-Melee Master: Is the only class that starts out with proficiency in heavy weapons, so they're equally viable with a knife as much as they are with a warhammer.
  • Multi-Ranged Master: They're the only type that gets abilities related to ranged weaponry, from spraying out a bunch of ammo to quickly reloading, meaning they could also become this.
