Vocations

Changing vocation

• At Alltrades Abbey. The 6 basic vocations are always offered; each advanced vocation opens once its quest is completed (table below).
• Each vocation has its own level (1 to 99) and its own curve: the experience needed and the stats gained differ from one vocation to another.
• Skill points: earned by levelling up, to share among the vocation's 5 lines. The character keeps them per line: a line shared by several vocations (Sword, Shield…) has the same points in each, and the stat bonuses of the lines (Strength +10…) count in every vocation. Unspent points form a single pool.
• Seeds: a seed's bonus only counts in the vocation you had when eating it.
• Books: each line has a book; placed in a character's pocket, it gives them the line's “book” tier. A weapon skill can only be picked in battle with a weapon of its line in hand.
• Coup de grâce: after each action, a base chance of 1% (2% for martial artists, luminaries and rangers), plus the equipment's; the vocation must be level 10. Full details: Battle.
• Revocation: the first revocation in a vocation gives its medal, once per save (the game remembers the vocation, not the character).
• Companion created at Patty's: only the 6 basic vocations are offered. The weapon depends on the vocation (copper sword, bamboo lance, oak staff, laundry pole, paring knife, feather fan); the outfit is shared: plain clothes, cotton trousers, sandals. The hero starts in the celestial outfit, with no weapon.
