| Savant | |
| Savants are handy folk to have around, naturally skilled and adept at a wide variety of things. Possessed of a certain flair and panache, Savants are highly skilled or innately talented or both, able to make the impossible look easy. Jacks-of-all-trades, Savants often become adventurers for the sheer challenge and perhaps a relief from the boredom of dealing with normal people. | |
| Savants are often motivated by a desire to learn a new thing or two, or to test their wits against a worthy opponent. Savants usually concentrate on picking up new Skills, Perks, and information which might serve them in good stead. | |
