Editing Hero

'''Heroes''' are [[Chalice]]-attuned citizens that have been brought into the [[ruler]]'s service. They are key to the [[nation]] as, unlike normal humans, they can survive physical contact with the [[Cadence]], giving them a fighting chance against the enemy. This attunement is passed on to the children of heroes, making their bloodlines essential to the nation's defense.

==Hero qualities==
===Classes===
There are three primary hero [[class]]es: [[Alchemist]], [[Caberjack]], and [[Hunter]]. Beginning heroes and those heroes not trained at keeps will be one of these three classes.

There are two hybrid classes for each primary class:
* [[Brewtalist]]s and [[Boomstriker]]s have Alchemist as their primary class.
* [[Blastcapper]]s and [[Shadowjack]]s have Caberjack as their primary class.
* [[Trickshot]]s and [[Enforcer]]s have Hunter as their primary class.

===Traits, personalities, and statuses===
[[Trait]]s are qualities that heroes inherit from their parents [[Trait genetics|genetically]]. [[Personality|Personalities]] are qualities that heroes gain through the [[Personality system|influence of their parents and trainers]]. [[Statuses]] are qualities that usually come from the [[region]] where the hero was trained. All three can also be acquired through the outcomes of [[random event]]s.

===Stats===
Hero stats are certain numerical values that affect a hero's performance at combat or other tasks. Most stats start with a base value that is usually dependent on class and level, but the base values depends only on level and some are simply the same for all heroes. These base values then receive modifiers from a hero's [[age]], traits, personalities, statuses, and [[equipment]] to reflect the hero's actual stats.

The various base values of each stat are affected as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
!Stat !!Base value determined
|-
|Strength ||Specific class and level
|-
|Armor ||Primary class and level
|-
|Dexterity ||Specific class and level
|-
|Evasion ||1% per point of Dexterity for all heroes
|-
|Intelligence ||Specific class and level
|-
|HP ||Primary class and level
|-
|Accuracy ||Primary class and level
|-
|Speed ||Base of 4 for all heroes
|-
|Sight ||Base of 11 for all heroes
|-
|[[Intuition]] ||Level only, same for all classes
|}

Note that "specific class" indicates that hybrid classes have different values from their primary class, meaning for example, Trickshots will have a different base value for that stat than Hunters. But as indicated above for some stats, the base values are the same for all types of a primary class.

==Heroic service==
Heroes can serve the nation in a variety of ways:

===In the retinue===
The heroes in the retinue are soldiers yet assigned to any other specific task and who are available to serve in the vanguard, the five-hero team that defends the nation's territory against Cadence [[Tactical|attacks]]. Heroes in the retinue can be rotated into and out of the vanguard as desired just before any Cadence attack. They can also be assigned to other roles in the nation, but once this is done, it is permanent and the hero is no longer part of the retinue.

===In the Regency===
The Regency is the nation's nobility. [[Regent]]s rule [[keep]]s alongside their [[partner]]s and have the responsibility of continuing their bloodline by having children, who then become [[trainee]]s who will join the retinue upon reaching the age of 15. Regents and partners also have a chance to pass on their traits to trainees and influence their personalities.

===As a Sagewright===
The Sagewrights are the nation's scholars. Serving at [[Sagewright Guild]]s, they aid the Chalice with the nation's current research project, decreasing the time it takes to finish these projects.

===As a Standard===
The Standards are the nation's combat trainers. Serving at [[Crucible]]s, they increase the [[XP]] received by [[trainee]]s and influence all the nation's trainees with their personalities.
