[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 4783273, member: 54707"] [CENTER][B]The Amaconoi, or [I]the Polyprofessionals[/I][/B][/CENTER] [B]The Amaconoi[/B] appear in both our world (Terra) and in the Other World (Ghantik), though usually in different forms, or ways. The Amaconoi are simply characters who at one time or another, or through one means or another, have pursued more than one adventuring profession (a character may pursue any number of non-adventuring professions and still not be considered Amaconoi, though such professions may yield character benefits beyond that of a normal adventuring character, but in this case I refer specifically to what is often called the “multi-classed”). [CENTER][IMG]http://www.bestpriceart.com/vault/abc_rubens126.JPG[/IMG][/CENTER] In our world, the Amaconoi is called [I]Polyeoma[/I]. In Ghantik the Amaconoi character is called [B]Endeilr[/B], meaning, literally, [I]the Opportune[/I]. A character may become Amaconoi in one of three ways. [B]1[/B]. He may begin his adventuring career in any profession. At any time after first level he may then take on a new profession, assuming he can find someone to help him train for his new career. He may then continue on, devoting himself to whichever career at any given time he so desires. For instance, a character may begin as a Barbarian in our world and later become a Bard. For one adventure, or campaign, he may concentrate all of his efforts and training upon his profession as a Barbarian, and for another campaign or adventure concentrate all of his efforts and training upon being a Bard. He may continue in this way building up proficiency and levels in any manner he chooses for either profession and at any rate of progression he so desires. [CENTER][IMG]http://www.inspirationline.com/images/janus.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]2[/B]. He may begin as described in the first pathway, or example cited above, but once he takes upon himself a second profession then all gained experience, as well as advantage gained from training or from any other means is then split evenly between his two various professions. [B]3[/B]. He may begin his adventuring career with two separate professions from the outset, and as he gains proficiency and experience then all advantages are evenly split between the two various professions. The exception to the three ways or paths for becoming Amaconoi is on Ghantik where the third way (or starting with two professions) is the common practice. Though the Adharma (giants), do sometimes follow the first and second way of becoming Endeilr. The Amaconoi never become Acers or Sharpers, they are considered a type unto themselves. However, any Amaconoi may become a Vadder given time, training, and proper expense. [/QUOTE]
