Couple issues with the Exemplar section. Trusty Weapons isn't available since he's not Death World. I couldn't find Hellish Life listed either, maybe that is too? I Will Not Die is (I think) a typo of It Will Not Die, which is taken during Assassin Level 9 now.

Still, good guide and fairly unique - I think most people I've seen build Abelard for Vanguard (maybe because it fits his personality), but I've found a lot of value in following this and having him be a consistent DPS from the earliest levels (from well before Argenta fully comes online). He's fairly overshadowed towards the endgame, but not everyone can be Argenta.

Thank you for the nice words. Honestly, Abelard was my carry early on till Argenta and Yrliet started getting their items so I figured going Assassin made sense. I'm also a big fan of clerics and paladins and the idea of turning Heinrix into a tank with self-healing psyker spells fits that fantasy I like. Abelard had to be an assassin for those early compositions :P

The Assassin section Level 9 Unlock 2 choice, Nimble, is a duplicate. That talent is already chosen in the Warrior section Level 7 Unlock 2.

My apologies. I switched It Will Not Die and Nimble around and forgot to check the text in the table correctly. Cheers for spotting this, it is now updated.
