DIY CODEX β VOLUME II
THE SUBCLASS COMPENDIUM
The Secret Archetypes of Personal Reality
INTRO: Why Subclasses Matter
Your Class is your identity. Your Domain is your power source. But your Subclass is your flavour β the way your essence manifests in daily life.
Two people can share the same Domain (Freedom, Peace, Power, Ease) and live completely different stories because of their Subclasses.
Subclasses determine:
β’ how you work
β’ how you love
β’ how you rest
β’ what type of luck you attract
β’ your pacing
β’ your aesthetic
β’ your emotional climate
Think of them as micro-roles you naturally play, consciously or not.
This compendium helps you choose intentionally.

Subclass Perks: What They Unlock
A good subclass determines:
β’ your natural manifestation speed
β’ your ideal rituals
β’ your preferred environment
β’ your social energy pattern
β’ your creative cycles
β’ your relationship dynamics
β’ how you regulate your nervous system
This Codex helps you stop fighting yourself and start designing for who you actually are.
**Subclass Hazards:
What To Watch Out For**
Every subclass has:
β’ a gift
β’ a blind spot
β’ a distraction
β’ a burnout pattern
Knowing your hazard = instant 10x upgrade to manifestation.
Examples:
β’ Chaos Bards burn out
β’ Hermit Oracles isolate
β’ Goblin Queens over-collect
β’ Alchemists overthink
β’ Scholars disappear into research
β’ Barbarians shut down feelings
You design your world to stabilise these.
Subclass Fusion (for Multiclass Players)
Many people are:
β’ Chaos Bard by day
β’ Hermit Oracle by night
β’ Goblin Queen on weekends
β’ Alchemist during emotional storms
This is NORMAL. In fact, it is your greatest power.
Fusion Subclasses examples:
β’ Feral Bard-Oracle
β’ Domestic Scholar
β’ Cozy Chaos Witch
β’ Polite Goblin Mystic
β’ Sunlit Barbarian Poet
These hybrid builds are uniquely potent.
FINAL RULES OF SUBCLASSING
1. No desire is too weird.
2. No subclass is wrong.
3. Your vibe is your magic.

The Multiverse rewards specificity.
