+Most adventurers are assumed to pursue adventuring full-time for whatever reason, but a Grinder has a steady source of income from a much more respectable source. Being able to work as hard as a Grinder does is as rare a skill as any, and many of the Grinder's advanced abilities leverage that skill into useful tools for problem-solving.
