A Dilettante is a half-elf who has difficulty finding a niche. As a result, she becomes the proverbial "jack-of-all-trades, master of none," drifting from profession to profession.

Requirements:

A Dilettante must have a 12 or greater in all characteristics except Wisdom, as Dilettantes often, but not always, lack self-discipline implied by a high Wisdom score. They also lack the dedication to be of any lawful alignment.

Role:

Dilettantes have trouble staying with one job for very long, but this is certainly not due to any lack of talent or intelligence. Along their way, they dabble in warrior, rogue, and mage skills, among others. Dilettantes are usually from one of the upper classes, much like Aristocrats, for the lower classes are not often afforded the opportunity to drift through various crafts. Many humans also resemble Dilettantes, but they don't have as long a life span as half-elves, and therefore don't learn as many skills as a Dilettante.

Secondary skills:

A Dilettante should roll 1d6 times for secondary skills.

Weapon proficiencies:

Any. As with most skills, Dilettantes may not specialize in weapons use.

Nonweapon proficiencies:

Bonus: None, but see "Special benefits", below. Recommended: Any.

Equipment:

No special equipment is required of the Dilettante. They prefer goods and services of the highest quality, but this is not a requirement.

Special benefits:

Dilettantes may choose nonweapon proficiencies from the warrior, mage, and rogue groups at normal cost. Further, they get three extra nonweapon proficiency slots.

Special hindrances:

A Dilettante may never devote extra proficiency slots to any nonweapon proficiency to improve that skill. She also may never devote more than five points (ten points at first level) per level to any single thief skill. Dilettantes receive a -2 penalty to reaction rolls from any serious artist or scholar, as these individuals are annoyed with the superficial dabbling of the Dilettante.
