Temple
Lucidity Jack
Mark Description
"They stood with confidence, as though they already knew they would succeed. Their armour glistened in unbelievable ways, almost as though it glowed from within. I was awestruck."
Overview
The Temple has memorised everything about their lucid body down to the last freckle. They are the pinnacle of fitness and athletic capability, but it has come at a cost. Temples are fixated on the form they take in the dream, so they tend to neglect the rest of the dream that revolves around them. It does mean that their bodies are rigid and unchanging which can be a huge benefit with the craziness that dreams can create.
Often a Temple will team up with a Chronomancer in order to slow down dream worlds so they can train for longer and harder, ensuring that every capability of themself is known and operating at peak performance.

Tips for playing as
The Temple.
The Temple excels in combat so make sure you are the one taking hits for the party while dishing out some conditions. Make the most of your physical capabilities to help your party outside of combat.
Also don't forget that interacting with occupants and that environment doesn't need you to have an ability so be creative towards your decision rolls.
​
Take care of bragging or actively overshadowing other players during combat as you will likely be stronger but that is your role, and you are still working together.
