You have come a long way since the days when you toiled in your profession. Circumstances showed you a path to great adventure, danger, and astonishing rewards, and you followed this path, become a mage, a fighter, a priest, or a rogue. The quests you have undertaken so far prepared you to follow a new and more difficult path, one that sees you confronting frightening foes and putting your life at risk, but with the promise of fame and glory and riches beyond counting. To realize these fortunes, you must choose the expert path you will follow.
Expert paths appear in four broad groupings: paths of battle, paths of faith, paths of power, and paths of skill. The paths of battle have a combat focus, while paths of faith grant you magical abilities drawn from the gods. Paths of power offer routes to grow your magical mastery, while paths of skill introduce special techniques to overcome challenges, whether obstacles or enemies.

You may choose any expert path, though you benefit more from a selection that reflects what has happened in the game so far. If you began as a rogue and developed a penchant for magic, you might become a wizard or a witch. Similarly, if you were a mage to start but found yourself fighting on the front lines, maybe spell-fighter would better capture your experiences.
