Avowed lets you pretend your character’s not a stinky mushroom person, but that’s the coward’s choice

Avowed's character creator allows players to explore their identities by choosing between distinctive features of the envoy class, inspired by Pillars of Eternity, and more conventional character traits. The envoy class includes unique features like whimsical fungal growths and earthy accents, but players can opt to downplay these traits for a more ordinary appearance.
