Advan Ad vanced ced Careers Details Detai ls Alch Al chemi emi st See Magic See Magic Careers Careers Li st for st for details Alch Al chemi emi st ( Dwar ven) ven ) (Dwarfs Only) Long before humans began delving into the mysteries of alchemy, Dwarf alchemists were hard at work within the Engineers' Guild developing gunpowder and other chemicals. However, the alchemy practised by the Dwarfs was not magical in nature, but a scientific process of study and experimentation. Therefore Dwarf alchemists differ from their human counterparts in very specific ways. While the career advance scheme for the Alchemist remains unchanged, a Dwarf alchemist does not gain any magic point, and cannot cast spells. In addition, the Dwarf alchemist's skills, trappings and career exit are changed as noted. It should be noted that these changes represent an alchemist trined in the Dwarf tradition; among the Expatriate Dwarf population, there are a small number of alchemists who have studied under human masters, and there follow the Alchemist career as given in the Magic careers list.

These books tell tales of great daring and true love, and they have a most unhealthy effect on many young nobles and such. These slightly disturbed young men are called cavaliers (and by many other names behind their back) and they regard themselves as dashing, romantic figures. They chase beautiful young noblewomen, challenge each other to duels and make a general nuisance of themselves. Always ready to join adventurous group, their bravery and skill with sword (If you survive as a cavalier c avalier for any length of time, you’re bound to have learned something about swordplay) makes them valuable members of such parties, if other members can put up with their antics. Notes: Notes: A cavalier has a lot of potential for role-playing, as they are not part of the regular army like musketeers or Templars, and thus have more freedom as adventurers. They do not have to follow any strict code of honour like duelist either, so they are more useful in espionage-style adventures. They should, however be played as true romantics: falling in love all the time, defying the authorities and so on.

Charlatan The Charlatan is a trickster; a cunning liar with the ability to convince people of almost anything. People who really ought to know better can find themselves believing that bottles contain a new wonder-medicine that will cure all their ills or that, for a small fee, their homes will be free of rats and bugs for good. Needless to say, the Charlatan relies upon a glib tongue and natural charm, but the ability to size up an audience - to assess their credulity and anticipate what they will want to hear - is a Charlatan's most vital skill. Charlatans frequently rely on a disguise - not to conceal their true appearance, but to present the kind of 'front' an audience will find acceptable. Thus, a Charlatan might don the robes of a Physician to sell miracle cures or present the appearance of an Artisan, Alchemist, or Wizard Wizard in order to lend dubious merchandise merchandise an air of authenticity. authenticity. While many Charlatans make a living working audiences and selling large quantities of fairly low-cost items, some specialise in selling bridges and other monuments.

Many times this is a Halfling. Most of the Halflings working as cooks belong to the Cooks' Guild, a public association of Halfling with the purpose to provide reliable cooks (i.e. cooks which will not poison the food). The few Halflings passing special cookery test are allowed to enter in the highly respected ranks of the Chef, cooks able and reliable enough to enter in the service of the highest nobility and the most powerful merchants. Their Guild, the so called 'Cake Fellowship', has the secret purpose to help those Halflings in troubles. Indeed, this can happen very often, when you're only 3 or 4 feet tall, you aren't not as strong as a dwarf and most of the humans thought you're only good to cook. Because of this role, this secret association often has contact with the clerics of Ranald. Often Ranald clerics become a Chef (Esmerelda says nothing about stealing), gaining the possibility to enter the richest houses with little or no effort.

Crime Lord Crime is well organized in the large cities of the Old World. In some places, things are organized in guild fashion with a Guildmaster at the top surrounded by trusted lieutenants. In other places, such as Tilean City-States, these organizations are like a family business with the head of the extended family ("Don", or "Padrone" in Tilean families) as "Boss" surrounded by his sons and other trusted family members. These Crime Lords usually control most of the illegal activities in their areas of control (smuggling, extortion, slavery, illegal gambling, and loan sharking). These activities are covered by legitimate ones (mostly the Family-run operations) such as trade and craft. In addition, many Crime Lords contribute to openly philanthropic causes, especially for the poorer classes. The Street or Punk Gangs are the exception to this as they deal with the world on their own violent terms. Would-be Crime Lords have to either take over a current Crime Lord's territory or carve out a piece of that territory. Either way, the would-be Crime Lord would have to initiate gang warfare. A would-be Crime Lord can become a Crime Lord in fact only by surviving such a war and gaining territory and exclusively directing criminal activity therein. Ensuing warfare can erupt at any time.

Diplomat Diplomats are almost invariably of the nobility and serve as ambassadors to (usually) high ranking nobles or maybe even a king or emperor. They are sent for a myriad of reasons: negotiating political deals, such as peace treaties, hostage or prisoner releases; and matters of trade, commerce and economics. A Diplomat is required to be firm, loyal and dedicated, have excellent speaking skills and a shrewd manner. Typically if a Diplomat successfully delegates a trade or commerce pact he is usually entitled to a percentage of the revenue the new deal generates, therefore Diplomats are often very wealthy. Some Diplomats are so shrewd and cunning that they garner a deal for their own ends but at the same time would also be beneficial to both factions. Aside from the obvious financial benefits of being a Diplomat there can be dangers too. More often than not they must travel through dangerous areas, sometimes even alone, and there is no guarantee that those they visit will have the best of intentions towards them. As befits someone with the title of Diplomat they often make many enemies throughout their lives and many fear assassination.

They also retain their outrageous tastes in jewelry and tattoos. To this they add ritual scarring, usually resembling claw marks racked across the chest, face, and arms.

The Duellist's favourite weapons are the fencing sword and the duelling pistol, a primitive and unreliable gunpowder weapon, whose propensity to explode does not endear it to sane people. Duellists, however, seem to relish the added danger. They follow a very precise code of behaviour and conducting a duel in the correct manner is almost more important than actually winning it; Duellists tend to be arrogant and contemptuous of lesser mortals and are always ready to demand instant satisfaction for any slight or insult, real or imagined. Many are the younger sons of noble families, who have turned to duelling for excitement. Their activities do not endear them to the authorities, but in most parts of the Old World duels are not actually illegal and Duellists are protected by a number of archaic unrepealed laws.

But they are more than mere robbers; as much as anything. Highwaymen are concerned with style and they are sometimes referred to as the nobility of thieves. Even when working, they never appear less than immaculately dressed and, in many areas, they vie with each other as much over the standards of apparel as over the number of coaches they rob. They affect huge cloaks over frilly white shirts (silk, naturally) and wear large three-cornered hats with at least one huge and outrageously-coloured feather.

Jaeger Rifleman / Officer Jaeger Rifleman The Jaegers are hardy self-reliant men, the most notable of whom are from the Barony of Hochland, and are employed by the Baron as hunters. The forests of Hochland have always hidden dangerous creatures that have crawled down from the mountains. A generation ago, the reigning Baron had a number of his men equipped with firearms, the famous Hochland Long Rifles designed by a Dwarven Engineer. These groups of men proved useful in fending off off attacks and and tracking down monsters. Over the years they gained an exceptional reputation, and are now the most famous of gunners in the Old World.

Most Orders owe allegiance to people of noble blood, a ruler of a city - such as the Knight's Panthers, while others may owe allegiance to none but the Order's Grand Master, who decides when and for what cause the Order, will march into battle.

Lawyer Lawyers make a long study of the processes of law in the Old World and of legal systems in general. They are professionals, occupy a fairly high station in life, and are generally respected. Their most prized possession is their reputation – their o wn reputations as lawyers and the reputation of their home town and its legal system. It is this reputation, above ev erything else, that ensures the lawyer a steady stream of fees, and many lawyers will be extremely wary of taking on a c ase which they are not sure they can win. Some junior lawyers, however, may be willing to take the risk of fighting an unusual case or one which is likely to excite public interest, for winning such a case will increase their reputation and professional standing. Although legal systems differ from town to town and region to region, they have many aspects in common and a lawyer will be able to cope with an unfamiliar legal system after a little research.

Loremaster (Dwarfs Only) The Loremasters are a uniquely Dwarven institution and represent the highest level of Dwarven scholarship. Dedicated to the pursuit and preservation of knowledge, they are greatly respected and Dwarven leaders value them highly for their advice and wisdom. It is the dream of almost every Dwarven Academic to attain the rank of Loremaster. Every Dwarven settlement of any size will have at least one Loremaster, although - confusingly to other races - the title Loremaster is often conferred on the most able scholar of a Dwarven community regardless of whether or not he is actually a Loremaster. They perform a vital task within the community, being responsible for maintaining chronicles and traditions and using their profound knowledge to advise community leaders. Not all Loremasters shut themselves away with their books, however. The larger Dwarven communities, in particular, are able to spare some of their Loremasters from day-to-day duties and these individuals are able to pursue their own researches, often travelling far and wide in search of lost chronicles and forgotten Dwarfholds, trying to recover the records and knowledge lost during the carnage of the Elf and Goblin wars. Although few Loremasters are skilled in combat, many are powerful spellcasters and they can call on a wide range of other abilities. The Loremaster career can only be entered by Dwarves who have completed at least two of the following careers: Artisan, Scholar, Alchemist (level 4), Cleric Cleric (level 4), and Wizard (level 4).

Luxury Prostitute / Courtesan / Protectress Luxury Prostitute Prostitutes may become Luxury Prostitutes, and thus serve a far more wealthy audience. This particular career is, however, also open to numerous other women, and men for that matter. The Luxury Prostitute ranges from being a highly trained escort for the rich and powerful, having skills ranging from playing a musical instrument to the most exquisite secrets of lovemaking, but also functioning as a Madam and controlling a house of Prostitutes and caring for them. The price charged by the Luxury Prostitute is usually so high, that a normal family could work a whole year, and not earn the same kind of money. Those who become Luxury Prostitutes must not only be beautiful but also possess wit and presence, as the demands of this career are far wider than those encountered as a mere Prostitute. A Luxury Prostitute may become the mistress of a rich Merchant and thus have a secure future, perhaps sleep her way to becoming a Noble’s Lady in Waiting, or even enter a career of spying for a government.

In the Old World, they are a socially recognised group, and s ome mix freely with the ruling classes whenever they gather. Many have freedoms that are comparatively rare for women, for they are not only financially secure, but financially independent. Some are shrewd business women, organising different clients every night of the week, making more money than many well-established merchants; others are kept, passing their years in extravagant homes, with trappings fit for a queen. Most have an exemplary education, and often hold simultaneous careers as performers or artists. Indeed, many began their careers on stage, seducing audiences with the latest Sierk masterpiece, or breaking hearts with their recitals of von Stourhoff. Protectresses are a variant of the Courtesan and are, in essence, a specialized form of female bodyguard. They rely on wit and guile to carry out their duties, rather than brute force, and use their good looks and social graces to create false personas. These enable them to position themselves so that any threat to their employer will end up leaving itself open to an attack from this completely unexpected quarter.

Mercenary Veteran Many Mercenaries never achieve the rank of Sergeant or Captain, but go on fighting to make a living. Those who survive become expert warriors, skilled in the art of survival on and around the battlefield. Often chosen by officers to conduct raids on enemy lines and keep the not so experienced Mercenaries in line. To become a Mercenary Veteran, one has to participate in many campaigns and often fight against overwhelming odds. But those who survive become the veterans of war, the experts even kings and generals respect.

Unlike Traders, they do not often deal directly with the public; they are generally wholesalers rather than retailers. Dealing in anything that will show a profit, Merchants travel widely to acquire and trans port goods and attend all the great urban markets. Trading at the lesser country markets and fairs is usually left to underlings. Merchants will often be powerful and respected members of local councils and other governing bodies and the Merchants' Guild is a powerful organisation in its own right. Merchants are invariably wealthy and maintain at least one town house and several warehouses as well.

Where most Dwarfs do not even like to spend too much time above ground, the pilots actually enjoy flying their dangerous and unreliable machines into battle or on reconnaissance patrols. Most other Dwarfs regard them as mad - even madder than Slayers, who at least were forced into the doomed lifestyle by misfortune and thwarted honour. Even the most crazed Daemon Slayer would not fly a gyrocopter. Pilots are trusted and dedicated members of the Engineers' Guild, and almost without exception, they serve their native hold. Flying machines are rare and precious, and no Dwarfhold would willingly let one out of its control. Therefore, this career is mainly for NPCs; a player character Pilot will need a very good reason for operating away from a hold.

Pirate Mate / Captain Mate Mates serve on ships as the second in command, answering directly to the Captain of the vessel. They are responsible for ensuring that the Captain’s orders are carried out, which can be a trying task with even the most professional of crews. Mates have to be stern but fair, earning the respect of their crew or they will swiftly find themselves the butt of many practical jokes and far worse if a mutiny should occur. Mates are always experienced sailors, often with several voyages under their belt and there are few ports they haven’t drank, fought, or caroused in.

For there will always be those who will prey upon the sea lanes, seeking easy comforts and vast fortunes through bloody means. Most Pirate Captains rely upon their cruelty and their ability to keep control of their crew through fear as well as the promise of loot. They rely heavily upon their own imposing demeanor and their sword fighting skills to maintain order amongst their unruly and capricious crew. As a result of this their sailing skills may actually be substandard, but as long as they can maintain some semblance of command and do away with any ambitious underlings they will continue to command the ship. In comparison to the Sea Captains, the Pirate Captain are often less knowledgeable about the seamanship, since they often hold their position based upon power rather than their sailing skills. No Pirate Captain however can wholly neglect such important skills, and usually can not assume command unless they have some previous experience from their past to ensure success in pirating. However many Pirate Captains can not navigate their ships, and when raiding ships often put all their foes to death except for the Navigator of a defeated vessel, who is then compelled to serve with the crew or suffer a similar fate as their shipmates. Of course if the Pirate Captain is the only one who knows how to navigate a ship, the threat of a mutiny is diminished dramatically. Privateers are Pirate Captains, sanctioned by a naval power to engage enemy shipping. Magritta in particular sanctions many Privateers, to engage not only other Pirate ships, but also the trading ships of Bilbali and the Tilean City States.

The Playwright is responsible for the writing and direction of plays and good ones are hard to find; those who enjoy success are often lured by powerful nobles on a regular basis. The Playwright writes his texts in the format of scripts and then hires actors, as well as acrobats and musicians, to fill the roles. Successful Playwrights hold their plays in the prestigious theatres of the Old World whereas the others must be content with the town square or anywhere where a sizeable audience can assemble. Many Playwrights attempt controversial issues as the subject matter for their plays and maybe arrested, imprisoned or even executed as a result. Wise Playwrights choose to hover around topics that are favourable by nobles and the law and enjoy great success and high wages.

In some cases, Scholars can find a patron or sponsor to finance their studies and can pursue their scholarly interests to their heart's content. Scholars are interested in knowledge for its own sake and do not confine themselves to one subject, researching anything and everything as the mood takes them and as the opportunity arises. Although they are not adventurous by nature, many Scholars will go to great lengths to acquire new or unusual information or to recover lost knowledge, and it is not unknown for a scholar to live as an adventurer in order to journey to the sorts of inaccessible places to which other academics would dare not go.

Scout Scouts hire out their services to the military, merchants, travellers, or anyone else who can afford their price. Their task is to move through an area in advance of their clients, spying out the land and reporting on any unexpected activity or possible sources of danger. They are expert at moving through the countryside undetected and many Scouts can get sufficiently close to an army to read the devices on their banners and shields without being spotted.

A Mate has to be strong to win the respect of the crew - in the event of a mutiny, unpopular Mates are second off the plank after the captain. Not surprisingly, Mates are great tellers of tall tales and always try to outdo each other with stories of the great Kraken, sea serpents, mermaids, and the like. Some of these tales may be true, but many have grown considerably in the telling and the majority are almost certainly completely fictitious.

It takes a special kind of personality to become a Sea Captain. Their wanderlust must be highly developed and coupled with a passionate belief in their seamanship - why else would anyone run the risk of trying to command a grog-swilling bunch of seamen, who are often only too willing to blame their captain for everything from bad weather to attacks of scurvy? Still, for those that survive mutiny, pirate attacks, and the terrible storms of the World's Oceans, the profession can be a profitable one. There is always demand for space in a cargo hold and Sea Captains usually have a good idea of which port has the most profitable markets for the whole range of Old World trade goods. Not that all Sea Captains make their money from trade - there are plenty who prefer to take goods by force from those less well equipped to defend themselves. Pirates, Buccaneers, and Corsairs - they have many names, but all are bloodthirsty murderers who attack merchant ships, steal their cargoes, and make shark food of any crew and passengers who can't be sold as slaves or press-ganged into service. Not surprisingly, the penalty for piracy in most countries is death.

Shipmaster (Dwarfs (Dwarfs Only) Shipmasters are members of the Dwarf Engineers Guild who specialize in the construction, maintenance, and operation of Dwarf gunboats, warships or submersibles. Shipmasters usually work in crews of 2 to 4, depending upon the type of vessel they operate. All shipmasters are trained for a life on water (whether sea or river) by their elders or senior Dwarf crewmen - a prospect that most Dwarfs view with horror. Shipmasters are almost exclusively attached to holds. The vast majority are based at Barak Varr, although there are a handful in Marienburg. Both they and their vessels are closely controlled by the superiors in the Engineers' Guild. Therefore, this career is better suited to NPCs than to player characters.

More obvious forms of slavery are generally illegal, but slaving still goes on unchecked in some areas. The slaver generally obtains his merchandise from foreign parts or deals in those too young or too poor to assert their rights. The greatest slave markets are in Araby and the lot of those sold there is a miserable one; in the Old World, some people are enslaved by the courts, for nonpayment of debts or similar offences, although until recently there was a thriving slave-trade in half-orcs. Slaves in the Old World are generally well-treated, often working alongside paid servants and sharing much the same condition.

Weaponmaster To become a Weaponmaster you must be initially trained by another Weaponmaster in the daily practice and exercise regiment that will allow you to push yourself to your limits and beyond. Any Noble, Soldier, Squire, Marine, Pit Pit Fighter, Mercenary, Mercenary Captain, Duellist, Freelance and Sea Captain may petition the Cult of Myrmidia for the initial training, however only a handful are accepted every year and of those only a 1 or 2 will complete the training. PC's from one of the appropriate careers wishing to obtain the training have a base 15% chance of acceptance. The GM may modify that roll based on Fel, the PC's devotion to Myrmidia and the the number of careers already completed (the fewer the better as they PC will be more malleable malleable during training). They must spend 300 EP's to obtain the training. If they are accepted they will spend the next 3 months in training training learning the daily regimen of a Weaponmaster. When the training is complete they will have three combat skills of their choice from the list below and one Specialist Weapon skill. The remaining skills may be learned by spending the requisite EP's at a later date. Or The Weapon Master studies and teaches the martial arts. They place emphasis on speed, agility and technique, seldom wearing cumbersome armour, preferring to rely on their superior maneuverability in c ombat.

Their definition of chaos is some what individualized, frequently covering anything and anyone to whom they take a dislike, and they are generally regarded with fear and distrust. They prefer to fight chaos from within society, rooting it out before it can get a foot hold. They are loners by nature and trust no one. And any deviation from their their idea of normal is grounds for suspicion. suspicion. They will act against anyone who the the think has a trace of mutation, mutation, some even extend their attentions to half-Orcs. In some areas they are tolerated and encouraged, in others they arc in secret and are even more suspicious than usual. They will kill their quarry out right but prefer to whip up hysteria. They love to conduct show trials and lynching, encouraging people to denounce their neighbors and even their own families.
