Possible Affiliations and Rivals
Commentary:
The Scout is good at stealth and reconnaissance. Here are the major skills that make them good at what they do: Climb, Jump, Swim, Balance, Hide and Move Silently, Acrobatics and Tumbling, Locks and Traps, Repair, Speak Languages, Decipher Script and Write Languages, Listen and Spot, Navigate, Survival and Hunting, and Tracking.
Their Spells can also be beneficial in aiding their recon. Here are some their highlighted spells: Remote Senses, Sense Aim, Sense Hidden, Mask, See in Dark, Shadow Slip, Shadow Stealth, Shadow Tool, Leap, Levitate Self, and Unlock.
The Scout is not awful in a fight. They are not as tough or as powerful as some other warrior focused classes, but do alright with ranged weapons. Also, stealth hits can sometimes do more damage.
The scout has the basics covered for opening locks. The Shadow Tool spell creates an excellent lock pick that works on older-style Chrono Timing locks. The telekinetic unlock Spell works on newer-style Fusion Latch locks. Both spells benefit greatly from the Locks and Traps skill, which the Scout has. Finally, the Scout has a Multi 3 Lockpick, which can get the job done if they are running low on Magic Points.
As the Scout rises in levels additional combat feats may become desirable, as well as feats that offer more Skill Points, Magic Points and Empowerment Points.
Notes:
* This character currently gains 7 Hit Points Per level (4+0+3), plus a one time bonus of +3 Hit Points from the Toughness Feat.
This character’s original Strength score was 12; plus 1 was added from a skill bonus.
