Savior Characteristics

The Savior prides as a caring and supportive archetype, known for their social and administrative skills, they are great at creating and maintaining a secure, stable and friendly environment for themselves and their close ones.

Socially, they are warm and nurturing, fostering strong bonds within the party and providing emotional support to their companions. In combat, they excel as protective and selfless defenders, always ensuring the safety and well-being of their allies. Their love for harmony and teamwork makes them excellent at coordinating strategies and maintaining group cohesion in adventuring.

However, the Savior's desire for approval and reluctance to disappoint others may lead them to avoid confrontations or difficult decisions that could be necessary in critical situations.

Despite these challenges, the Savior's compassion and dedication make them an invaluable asset to any adventuring group. Their ability to create a supportive and cohesive team often leads to strong camaraderie and shared victories.
