Skillfull

This class is very versatile; it is equipped with the resources to do pretty much anything. When it comes to skills, there is simply no class with more utility than the Skillfull. This class is sometimes referred to affectionately as the “clean slate” because they are endowed with the potential to excel almost anywhere, without being restricted by a clearly defined path. This class amasses skill points very quickly, and that is basically all they care for. They only category they lack is not being able to inately cast spells or use Elemental Arts. However, there are ways around this. You can increase your Mystic skill, and invest in scrolls; becoming a universal spell caster. If you want to be good at unarmed combat, increase your Unarmed Fighting skill and invest in the associate traits and abilities. If you want to be that person who knows everything, throw your skill points in all of the knowledge skills. You want to be a master inventor, putting your skill points into crafting, mechanics, engineering and brewing; that way you can create whatever you want. There are limitless possibilities with this class. Their only downside is that they are not given talents or gifts that allow them to excell in anything in particular. The best way to look at this adventurer class is, “I can do anything, almost as good as everyone else.”

Starting Skill Bonuses

  • 25 skill points to distribute freely

Watch This: Choose any single skill to specialize in. This will be considered as your specialized skill. This skill will have its skill point maximum increased by 5. This skill point maximum will continue to increase every 10 levels, just like every other skill, and will always be 5 higher than the others.
Whenever you fail a Skill Check that you have skill points in, and does not involve a Roll to Hit, you can choose to “mentor” an ally within 6 meters of you. When you do, the next time that ally makes the same skill check, within the next minute, they will add 1d6 to their result. You cannot mentor an ally again until you get a successful skill check with your specialized skill, result a critical success at skill in which you have skill points in, or complete a rest.
