Commentary:
The "Tough-as-Nails" Detective can be a fun character to play. They are not the ultimate solider, but are equipped to deal with trouble when it comes their way. They are especially handy with their Heavy Spellchrome Pistol. They are able to solve crimes utilizing their Intelligence based skills, such as Gather and Analyze Evidence, and Investigate. Their combat spells can give them a bit of an edge in a fight, Insight spells offer some more crime solving ability, and Shadow spells offer some stealth ability, if it’s needed.
As the character rises in level, the Increased Empowerment Points will allow for more equipment possibilities. Increased Skill Points or Increased Magic Magic Points may also be of use, depending on how much need there is for more Skill or Magic Points during adventures.
Notes:
* This character currently gains 8 Hit Points Per level (6+0+2), plus a one time bonus of +3 Hit Points from the Toughness Feat.
