Aristocrat

Aristocrats are members of the noble and ruling classes. Raised in wealth and privilege, they are trained in diplomacy, etiquette, and leadership. Many aristocrats are educated in history, politics, and the management of lands and retainers. Though they are not always hardened warriors, aristocrats often receive martial training suitable for their station, allowing them to defend their holdings or command others in times of conflict.

WARNING: Aristocrat is considered a non-adventuring class that can only be selected at 1st level. Characters who begin their career as Aristocrats gain reduced experience from creature kills and adventuring writs, reflecting a life shaped by privilege, education, and leadership rather than constant exposure to danger. Unlike other non-adventuring classes, Aristocrats may multiclass freely into any base class except Commoner. However, Aristocrats cannot take prestige classes.
