			'''Mysteries of the Maiden''' provides options for the [[Convergence of Cyriss]], comprising of the '''Cyriss Warcaster''' archetype (which grants a bond with the special Cyriss Vectors and improves their efficiency), special gear, and the Clockwork race template (you carry the stat boosts and two skill proficiencies from your old race, but now become a soul in a jar piloting a fancy robot.) '''Divine Mechanics''' follows up on this with the Industry Cleric domain (offering tons of healing for constructs of any kind) and options for Servitors, tiny drones that support you similar to [[Servo-skull]]s

	* The '''Rogue Alchemist'' is either a criminal who turned to alchemy to augment their lawbreaking, or just an alchemist who refuses to knuckle under to the established alchemical guilds (or was kicked out of them, or otherwise has cause to operate under the table, as it were). They specialize in scrounging up substitute ingredients and outright pilfering alchemical formulae from others, but are also masterful poisoners.		* The ''Rogue Alchemist'' is either a criminal who turned to alchemy to augment their lawbreaking, or just an alchemist who refuses to knuckle under to the established alchemical guilds (or was kicked out of them, or otherwise has cause to operate under the table, as it were).

	The '''[[Gun Mage]]''' is one of the most iconic classes of the Iron Kingdoms; a [[gish]] who combines spellcasting powers with [[gunslinger]] talents to become a master of ranged combat. Take note that despite using the 5e spell list, Gun Mages do '''not''' specialize in the use of ray spells and other "beam" type offensive spells, but instead focus on taking ordinary ammo and channeling magic into it; this is represented by their core class feature, ''Rune Shot'', which lets them pick a number of different potential buffs they can apply to their bullets by spending spell slots, such as adding elemental damage, boosting accuracy, heightening damage, turning it into a guided projectile, etc. The higher the Gun Mage's level, the more Rune Shot options they can pick up. They are Charisma-based [[Half Caster]]s, although they can cast 6th level spells rather than the normal 5th level spell cap. They rely on the use of the Magelock weapons, but can substitute any firearm - however, until they gain the Weapon Bond feature, using non-Magelock firearms to launch Rune Shots causes the weapon to degrade with each use. There are three Gun Mage subclasses:		The '''[[Gun Mage]]''' is one of the most iconic classes of the Iron Kingdoms; a [[gish]] who combines spellcasting powers with [[gunslinger]] talents to become a master of ranged combat.

	* ''Order of the Witch:'' ~~These~~ gun mages ~~have learned~~ to meld some of the Cryxian traditions of [[Blood Magic]] with the art of wielding firearms. They gain Bleeder (heal by 1/2 damage dealt with this rune shot) as a bonus rune shot, can stab and shoot with a witchlock's bayonet in the same turn, can use a successful shot from a witchlock to regain a Rune Shot 1/short rest, and can deal two Rune Shots at one by blasting away with dual witchlocks.		* ''Order of the Witch'' (from NK) teaches gun mages to meld some of the Cryxian traditions of [[Blood Magic]] with the art of wielding firearms.

	The '''Gunfighter''' is, of course, a [[gunslinger]] by any other name. It's a warrior class dedicated to mastery over the new firearms included in the Requiem corebook, with its core feature being access to a number of special attacks called "Trick Shots"; in this regard they're sort of like dexterity gun mages. They tend to focus on evasion, stealth, and just staying well out of reach of the enemy, so don't mistake them for a [[fighter]] even if they are a "mundane combat-focused" class!

	'''Mechaniks''' are the [[artificer]]s of Immoren, adventurer-scientists who specialize in building, maintaining and utilizing the various [[steampunk]] gear of the Iron Kingdoms to solve their problems. Unlike the Alchemist, Gun Mage and Gunfighter, they don't have a specific class-based set of "things you can build", they just have class features that make them better at building and using "tech" items on the fly - they're a [[Skill Monkey]] class more than anything.

	Finally, there are '''[[Warcaster]]s'''; mages who can telepathically link with steamjacks, allowing them to command these [[steampunk]] [[magitek]] [[golem]]s in battle, as well as to exploit mechanika weapons and armor to greater effect. They are Intelligence-based [[Half Casters]] of the "prepared spells" style - the iconic "Focus" from the wargame is adapted into a kind of [[mana]] system; you have a level-based cap on how powerful a spell you can cast (up to 6th level) and on the maximum size of your Focus pool, and you spend Focus points to cast a spell or apply a buff.
