Savant [Base Class]

Class name Savant

Whether it be in magic or the mundane, the artistic or the practical, a Savant is one who is well versed in skills and knowledge. Though this path is rarely heroic on it's own, the work of Savants is the very lifeblood of Terra Heroum's everyday life and not one to merely scoff at. After all while heroes may defend us from Phantasmals, there will always be those who must forge their blades, knit their socks(or baskets) and tend to their wounds.

Another trait worth noting is that 'Savants' as they are have a certain standard to the title. Any brigand with a blade in their hand is a Warrior, any idiot with a forge is a Blacksmith. However to be considered a Savant is to generally be considered someone of vast intelligence and wisdom as they tend to possess great intelligence in multiple disciplines, or even knowledge that is considered revolutionary or long lost.

The main weakness of a Savant is the world of war in most cases. Scholars are not trained combatants and mostly a liability as they lack any particular defensive or offensive abilities. However the world is wider than the breadth of a sword and if you are willing a Savant can open the doors to places you can only dream of.
