Use the data
How to choose a Forgotten Stories Inheritance
Start from the mechanic you want to build around, then read both the benefit and the cost at the progression level you can actually reach.
Read starting gear and passives
The starting item often defines the first useful decision. Follow its mechanic through the passive instead of judging an Inheritance by one stat bonus.
Count the penalties
Dreamer and Damned show why upside alone is misleading. Health, damage, Mana, healing, or resistance costs can change whether a path fits solo or party play.

Where this directory comes from: names and linked fields were checked against the public Forgotten Stories Trello on September 5, 2026. A public card can describe planned or work-in-progress data; it does not prove every field is implemented in the current Roblox build.

Quick answers
Forgotten Stories Inheritances FAQ
What are the 8 Forgotten Stories Inheritances?↓
The current public list contains The Historian, The Jeweler, The Brawler, The Hunter, The Wagerer, The Cook, The Dreamer, and The Damned.
