Career Archetypes

Every character should choose one of the six Career Archetypes, which defines their powers.

Species

While there are over a dozen species in the Mass Effect universe, this conversion focuses on the eight humanoid species which have the most in common. This is not intended to be restrictive, but rather make it easier to use common rules. The non-humanoid species do not operate within the same set of basic assumptions on physiology and the like.

The primary mechanical impact of species is around guidance on appropriate (but not mandatory) Species Merits.
