You\u2019ll also hear the same voice lines over and over with pawns of the same type, so it&apos;s better to mix it up.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to change your pawn\u2019s inclination, the earliest time to do so is in Vernworth. Beside the Riftstone<strong> you\u2019ll find a merchant called Neomith selling Rift Incense<\/strong> that lets you alter your pawn&apos;s inclination for 2,000 RC a pop.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-pawn-vocations-and-specializations\"><span>Pawn vocations and specializations<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery inline-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 1 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"tbasCnph9jU3dPiTfZZ2EL\" name=\"dragons-dogma-2-pawns-8.jpg\" alt=\"Dragon's Dogma 2 pawns - Warrior\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dragons-dogma-2-pawns-and-how-they-work-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"caption-text\">You can purchase new vocations for your pawn at the guild <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Capcom)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 2 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"52YvaS8CxVR57GE2G5HcKB\" name=\"dragons-dogma-2-pawns-2.jpg\" alt=\"Dragon's Dogma 2 pawns - Chirurgeon's Tome\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dragons-dogma-2-pawns-and-how-they-work-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Tomes let you change pawn specializations <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Capcom)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Pawns can choose from the same starting vocations as players: Fighter, Mage, Thief, or Archer.

Touching these monuments transports you to the place where pawns dwell, allowing you to summon new pawns to accompany you on your journey\u2014basically a pawn job board. It&apos;s worth noting that <strong>each<\/strong> <strong>Riftstone specialises in a particular type of pawn<\/strong> in terms of inclination and physical build, and you can see this list by viewing Linked Riftstones at the big stone in Vernworth.<\/p>\n<p>You can hire two pawns at a time. This is free if they\u2019re the same level as your Arisen or below, but it&apos;ll cost you RC\u2014or <strong>Rift Crystals<\/strong>\u2014if they&apos;re above your current level. This rare currency can be earned by resting at inns, completing quests, or defeating certain monsters like the wight. Your main pawn will also earn Rift Crystals while in the employ of other players.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When interacting with a Riftstone, you\u2019re also able to set a <strong>pawn quest<\/strong>. This is a task given to your main pawn while he\u2019s hanging out with another player. You can decide on what the task is\u2014like killing a specific monster, for example\u2014and set a reward for the Arisen who completes it. This is a great way to earn valuable rewards passively.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that <strong>other players&apos; pawns in your party will not level up<\/strong>. Once you outlevel your guest pawns, it\u2019s best to find a Riftstone and swap them for stronger ones. \u00a0When you surrender a pawn, you can also give them a farewell gift from your inventory to take back to their master. Try to be nice and not slip me a dirty doo-doo handkerchief after my pawn saved your butt from a hulked-out cyclops.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-forgotten-riftstones-and-unique-pawns\"><span>Forgotten Riftstones and unique pawns<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery inline-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 1 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"78zCFrBvaYFEizWQPsm2ZB\" name=\"dragons-dogma-2-pawns-4.jpg\" alt=\"Dragon's Dogma 2 pawns - Riftstone in the wilderness\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dragons-dogma-2-pawns-and-how-they-work-5.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Touching a Forgotten Riftstone either repairs it or gives you a unique pawn <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Capcom)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 2 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"nZHxJpjcMxxtKwrkpvzLTB\" name=\"dragons-dogma-2-pawns-3.jpg\" alt=\"Dragon's Dogma 2 pawns - Forgotten Riftstone on map\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dragons-dogma-2-pawns-and-how-they-work-6.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Only specific Forgotten Riftstones will grant a unique pawn <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Capcom)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>You\u2019ll sometimes stumble on <strong>Forgotten Riftstones<\/strong> while out in the wilds.
