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.”
