The Scholar

I've been toying with non-combat class ideas, and the Scholar is a newest addition, to join other non-combat classes such as the Augur, the Spellbreaker and the Orator.

Once you have found and successfully recruited them from a village, the Scholar will bring the following bonuses to the squad:

• Visit any ancient ruin, castle or wheat field to get some rewards:
  • A group XP bonus
  • A randomly dug-up item
  • ...but sometimes triggers some undesirable encounters!
• Get some group XP on occasions while the Scholar is fighting or otherwise gaining XP themselves

The Scholar is very fragile, so even though they may hang out towards the back of the squad, make sure you have nearby tanks and healers to help them out!
