Avowed doesn't have any strict classes to choose from, but its range of builds is diverse - and according to Obsidian Entertainment, there's one build that shines brighter than most.

Speaking in an interview with Gamertag Radio, production director Ryan Warden reveals that the "high risk, high reward" build is a favorite of his - and also one developers discovered by accident. "My favorite build … it's a Blood Mage build."
