	You are the sculptor, crafting your destiny with the clay of mind, body and purpose.

The Ascendant is an Ascendancy class for Scions.

Overview

The Ascendant offers flexibility more than any other class by allowing the player to take passives based on other Ascendancy classes. These passives offer similar benefits representing the class's overall tree, but with mitigated effects. Only one Ascendancy class passive can be taken from each base class.

The Ascendant can either take two Ascendancy Class passives or further invest onto one class's path to gain a second starting point in the Skill Tree of that class.
