scholar
This is an old revision of the document!
Down there in the hollow interior of the planet is a hidden land called Nychrophatia, filled with people calling themselves Glubbadingdongs who farm chammacoots and worship Borlaxius Meru. That's the story my father used to tell while he beat me.
Scholar is a versatile, utility-focused class centered around book-learning and applied knowledge, making it a good choice for anybody that wants to play a “smart” adventurer. None of its abilities depend on any technology more advanced than literacy, either, making it widely-available in a variety of settings.
| Scholar | Know things. | |
|---|---|---|
| caret-right | Factotum | More knacks in operations. |
| caret-right | Polyglot | Learn new languages easily. |

| Utility | plus-circleIdentify: You can accurately identify a single object or creature in your presence. The referee will tell you what it is and maybe something interesting about it that cannot be learned just by looking at it. This information can be general (“that's a Schnozz-Beast, they're immune to poison and feed on daydreams”) or specific (“that's the original lost crown of the Dukes of Belfort, stolen in the year 785 by a Schnozz-Beast.”) plus-circleSpecial Identities: If the thing you're identifying is random dungeon dressing with no further function than to look cool, the referee can feel free to tell you that too. If you're trying to identify something that is truly and completely unprecedented (and therefore you have had zero chance to ever read about it or anything similar or even theoretically similar) then the referee can tell you you have no idea, but this should be exceedingly rare. Even the lack of information is a kind of information that can potentially be used to your benefit, however. minus-circleSupply-Driven: Roll a trigger die whenever you identify something. If the result is 1-6, then doing so costs 1 Supply. You cannot identify anything if you have no Supply remaining. |

Factotum
| Utility | plus-circleJack Of All Trades: You know a little bit about almost everything. This gives you access to your first three knacks in all operations (+1 per relevant ability you know) instead of only your single first knack (+1 per relevant ability you know). | |
|---|---|---|
Polyglot
| Utility | plus-circleLinguist: You have a powerful gift with languages, allowing you to learn them exceptionally quickly and cheaply. When encountering a language that you don't already know (in spoken, written, signed or whatever other format) you can choose to learn it. Once you've learned a language, you know it permanently and don't need to re-learn it in the future. minus-circleSupply Cost: Learning a new language costs Supply based on the obscurity and complexity of the language in question: - Common languages with a wide community of speakers and contemporary culture/traditions cost 1 Supply to learn. - Obscure languages with few living speakers or highly unusual grammar cost 2 Supply to learn. - Ancient languages with no primary speakers at all cost 5 Supply to learn. - Exotic languages conveyed with methods utterly alien to humans (such as via pheromones, telepathy, or binary data transfer) cost 10 Supply to learn. |
