Scout

This particular adventurer class primarily focuses on the exciting realms of ranged combat and diligent reconnaissance. They are incredibly adept at executing covert operations, and skillfully neutralizing various targets from a safe distance away. Their talents shine especially bright when it comes to offering invaluable ranged support to their allies; effortlessly picking off troublesome foes that those who are more accustomed to engaging in melee combat may find difficult to reach or engage effectively. With a keen eye and expert aim, they play a crucial role on the battlefield. For a skilled Scout, there’s truly no experience that compares to the profound satisfaction of hitting their target on a challenging shot taken from an impressive distance. Each successful shot reinforces their confidence and sharpens their focus, making the thrill of the hunt all the more rewarding.

Focusing all of their efforts on maintaining a safe distance at range makes a Scout particularly vulnerable when unexpectedly caught in a direct, face-to-face confrontation. When such an unfortunate scenario arises, this class's best course of action is to swiftly escape the situation, utilizing any available skills or tactics, and create as much space as possible between themselves and the dangerous confrontation. If you have a group of trustworthy allies by your side, it is probably best to hang back and stick to what you are truly good at, allowing them to take the lead in more dangerous situations.

This hyper-vigilant and perceptive adventurer class truly stands above the rest when it comes to the art of infiltration and espionage. Their remarkable photographic memory and keen situational awareness allow them to effortlessly acquire valuable and crucial tactical information, often before their enemies even realize what's happening. Moreover, their extensive expertise in crafting empowers them to create an impressive array of special and magical ammunition, enhancing their versatility in the field. With their unique skill set and determination, they possess whatever it takes to pull through and succeed with any objective presented to them, no matter the challenges they may face along the way.
