* Paths in Depth: The Outcast * Development background for the path. * Originally the “Outcast Warrior” racial Discipline for trolls. * Very tied into highland troll concepts of honor as presented in the original Denizens of Earthdawn. * Path leans into the idea of an individual sacrificing something in the name of honor and gaining magical power in return. * Unlike other paths, no greater organization or structure.
