[QUOTE="pathfinderq1, post: 6953848, member: 48394"] For those keeping track, current concept list for a scholar type stands at 3. Will save the Charlatan Bard and disgraced courtesan/dancer (Rogue/open hand monk) for later. In no particular order: 1. AKA 'Holtzmann': Rock gnome Rogue/Knowledge Cleric/Artificer Wizard; Guild artisan/Sage background. The youngest and brightest child from a gnome tinker/alchemist family. Originally entranced by alchemy and clockwork, entered the priesthood of the Maker to learn more complicated/esoteric crafts (Since Fossice has no true university, the Church offers the main route to knowledge after the Academy)- and their she was introduced to magic and mage-craft. Further advancement almost entire Wizard. 2. AKA 'Something from a Lovecraft story': Human Knowledge Cleric >> Warlock (Old Ones, Tome); Sage (librarian) background. A bright and earnest young scholar assigned to catalog newly-obtained books for the Library and the Old Tower- she definitely picked up the WRONG book. She could not read it at first, but the symbols lingered, and she couldn't get rid of it... Further advancement pure warlock. Her Patron is (or claims to be) the spirit of an ancient (Pre-Harrowing) archmage trapped between realms by the catastrophe and trying to get home- it might even be the truth (or a part of the truth)... 3. AKA 'Indiana Jones': Elven or half-elven Rogue/Knowledge Cleric/Ranger (and/or monster hunter fighter); Outlander/Sage background. Daughter and granddaughter of scholar-priests, well-educated but physically-inclined. Trained as an archaeologist (please don't say 'tomb robber'), she was part of an expedition to the magic-blasted desert that was one the high elven Homeland- an expedition that found far more (And far worse) than they were expecting. She barely survived, and has been recovering and training for future expeditions. Future advancement a mix between scholar, scout, and archer. >Options 1 and 3 have the best skills (Including Science! and Investigation, which we are so far lacking), Option 2 is best long-term magically (will be picking up the Book of Ancient Secrets invocation for ritual magic mojo). Working on the background stories longhand, since I still have limited computer access through the weekend- silly travel... [/QUOTE]
