When Shiro uses his Echoing Banishment move at the final fight in Factions, the banished person is replaced with a Shiro'ken of that profession.

What do you think will happen when a Dervish or a Paragon gets banished?

...they'll be replaced with a Shiro'ken of that profession?

Just a wild guess...

but, have we ever faced a Shiro'ken of the class dervish/paragorn?

even though the answer might be simple at first sight, will it really banish those classes and get replaced by Shiro'ken of those classes? if yes, what will be their skill bar (i guess for this we shall wait and see)
will Shiro ignore dervish/paragon primary classes?
will Shiro banish the dervish/paragon and get replaced by random Shiro'ken?
will Shiro banish the dervish/paragon and get replaced by closest class? (ie paragon=warrior/ranger, dervish= assasin?)

then again, i think too much

I'm more curious as to whether they'll add celestial skills for them.

Maybe they'll be replaced by a Shiro'ken of their secondary profession. Though that's still cause problems if someone was D/P or P/D...

Yes, but they still use the skills of the appropriate type of Shiro'ken. For all intents and purposes except the model, they're essentially a Shiro'ken of the appropriate type.

I suspect the answer with the Celestial skills would be to work things out according to secondary profession, or alternatively to default to one of the original skills (I could see the Dervish defaulting to Storm of Swords - not sure which for the Paragon, but probably Celestial Stance, Celestial Haste or Star Shine). Bounds could work on a similar system, either using the secondary or defaulting.

Or, you could simply say that using techniques and powers foreign to Cantha, Kuunavang and Shiro simply can't deal with them either way - especially if they're entirely classes not in Factions (remember, there are probably more coming...) It's the lazy option, yes, but there can be some story justification - and, also, it is worth noting that a character which doesn't have any classes from Factions also gains little from completing it (although the amulet could go towards supplying another character...)

That would be my guess, but that's the pessimist in me. If chapters are truly stand-alone, then I'd expect no Dervish/Paragon support in Factions, let alone Assassins/Ritualists for Nightfall.

Just my two cents.

Like in prophecies you get no quest skill rewards as an assassin.
