You live for the thrill of adventure. You are likely to become famous for discovering some ancient ruin or some long lost artifact.

The Adventurer Profession is all about adventuring. They are the treasure hunters and ruin seekers, forever looking for the next great find. As adventurers, they have had to develop strong abilities in navigating the perils of ancient ruins.

Starting Bonuses and Penalties

You already know that playing as an adventurer grants you a leather brigandine, steel dagger, regional map, 10 feet rope, and a hiker's backpack, as well as 70 character points at character creation. However these are not the only benefit an adventurer receives.

• Starts with Space Saving at level 1 and Skillful Climbing at level 1.
• Perceive Race Max is increased by 10% but not higher than 100%.
• Luck Race Max is decreased by 10%.

Effects on Weapon Usage

• Can only use one-handed weapons, but can be any one-handed weapon
• Whips do 25% more damage

Effects on Armor Usage

• Can only wear light armor. Can wear other armor types if the right skill is acquired.

Character Point Rate

Adventurer's are basically archaeologists. They like quests and exploring things, especially ancient ruins. Therefore, they focus on skills that help them explore and learn more about these places.

The Adventurer's character point rate is:

• Mental x 0.01; with an additional +0.2 for every level past level 1 in Trap Knowledge (total of +0.6 bonus possible). 
• An adventurer who gets Ignore Traps at level 1 gets to roll a 1d% increased by Mental as a percentage for extra character points.
• An adventurer who gets Ignore Traps at level 4 gets to roll  2d% increased by Mental as a percentage for extra character points.
• An adventurer who gets at least 1 level in every explorer skill gets their End of Session Bonus as extra character points.
• An adventurer's End of Session Bonus rate is your character point rate increased by 1/2 Perceive. So if your character point rate is 1.5 and your Perceive is 60, you would take 1.5 x 30 to get 45 extra character points at the end of the session. The GM can of course reward extra character points based on role playing.
