Notes

The Lex Imperialis Arbites origin slots onto a Warrior for a control bruiser. The Subductor specialty is shield-based melee that protects allies while applying pressure, and the shotgun specialty turns shotguns into a top-class weapon. Arbites also opens the Overseer advanced archetype with its damage-dealing familiar. This serves the player-character arbitrator demand far better than the companion Solomorne, who underwhelms on the same kit.
