The Scion

The daughter of corrupt nobles, the Scion was exiled to Wraeclast for killing her husband on her wedding night. She is aligned with all three core attributes - Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence, which places her right in the center of the passive skill tree. This unique position allows her to develop into almost any type of character build, while lacking the dedicated specialisation that the six existing classes offer.

Because of her high learning curve, she's initially unavailable to new players. The player must rescue the Scion at the end of Act 3, just before the last boss, this will not require killing the last boss. This can be done on Path of Exile's Normal Difficulty (in any league) to unlock her as an accessible character.

Her starting attributes are 20 intelligence, 20 dexterity and 20 strength. Her starting skill is .

Text and Speech

Intro speech

"The youngest daughter of a respect family. Dresses, dances, suitors... a fortunate life for one fortunately born. My life... had I not been different. Had I not thought more clearly, learned more quickly, dreamed more deeply and darkly than any child should.

There seems to be no limit to what I can do, no walls containing my talents. To my parents, I was a raw nugget to be battered and moulded into a prize for admiration, for envy... for sale. That life died on a wedding bed in Theopolis.

Today, Wraeclast offers me a new life, written not by birth, nor family, nor society. This life will be written to answer but on question: Who am I?"
