"All I need is myself, and... hammer." Alphonse the Expert Blacksmith

Expert

Experts are the craftsman, diplomats, crafty thieves, or even athletes of the world, very few experts are exactly alike in their talents, some and though they often have some skills in common, it's rare that they'll share the same array.

Making a Expert

Experts perform better outside the fights. They can be good diplomats,thiefs or watherver they want but they usually lack of strength, so uncommonly we see Expert Fighters.

Abilities: Intelligence is the only common trait that all experts share,all the other abilities should be decided in respect to class skills.

Races: The Experts are everyhere, so there isn't a specific race they prefer,but they are most Goblins, and Humans

Alignment: Any, though dependent on their skills they might be influenced one way or another, for example a diplomat expert might be more lawful, as he could well be in the employ of his country, or a noble. A character with Profession(Executioner) is likely to be lawful evil. One with Lucid Dreaming is more likely to be chaotic while Autohypnosis tends to lawful

Class Skills (10 + Int modifier per level, ×8 at 1st level) Any Skills the players choice must be chosen at level one, these are the class skills for the expert and cannot be changed at a later point. (So he could also have all the skills as class skill if he spend at least 1 point on them)

Class Features

The Expert's Class Features are heavily based on his skills. All of the following are class features of the Expert.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Experts are proficient with simple weapons and with light armor. Experts are not proficent with shields of any kind.

Expertise: An Expert is a master of his arts, and gains a competence bonus to all class skills equal to his expert level.

Feat or Skill? From level 3, when you should get a feat, you may got a Skill Ability(check below) instead, and vice versa.

Blessed Brain Not all character can be an Expert, only the ones who have an high IQ,but that's not all, they need also to be reactive, fast thinkers and adapt theirselves to the events. If your races doesn't give you a +4 on Int and +4 on Wis, you may get it, and the difference between the previous bonus and the new one must be subtracted from another skill score (the prioirty goes on the other buffed score from the race) EXAMPLE: You choose the Drow Elf that gives you +2 DEX; +2 INT; +2 CHA; -2 COS. You may choose to have +4 INT; +4 WIS; -2 COS; -2 of your choice

Skilled Assistant: When an Expert of 6th level or higher uses the aid other action, to aid someone using one of his class skills, instead of a +2 Bonus, the Expert adds her ranks in that skill to the other character's roll.

Skill Mastery: At level 10 an Expert is so confident in the use of certain skills that she can use them reliably even under adverse conditions. She selects a number of skills equal to 1 + her Int modifier. When making a check with one of these skills, she can take 10 even if stress and distractions would normally prevent her from doing so.

Unstoppable Brain: At level 4, the Expert has been studying and observing everything arounf him, that his brain start improving; it doesn't stop thinking either when sleeping. Every time you can increase your Ability Scores, you can add +2 on INT or WIS instead of +1

Flawless Skill: At 15th Level, an Expert is no longer subject to penalties on class skills caused by mundane means, for example, armor check penalties would not apply, nor would penalties involving a naturally low ability score. However, penalties caused by magic, negative levels, or other supernatural effects continue to affect the Expert.

Epic Expert Bonus Feat List: The bonus feats are no longer limited to skill feats and may now include epic feats from any of the classes the expert might emulate.

Playing a Expert

Religion: Experts are a mix lot of many different walks of life and equally varied religious outlooks. However as experts are the most common class to be craftsmen, a large portion of experts worship gods with the creation, fabrication and artifice domains.

Other Classes: Again, because of the variety present with experts, it is difficult to pin point exactly how each combination would react with other classes. For the most part, the regular spellcasters do not like spellcasting experts, wizards see them as undisciplined, sorcerers see them as weak and clerics see them as heritics for twisting divine spells to arcane ends. The secondary casters have much better relations with expert casters, especially bards. Stealth combat experts have similar relations as rogues do and crafters are fairly well liked by all, however their combat ability might be somewhat lacking.

Combat:Experts can fill several different roles, but are mostly support.

Advancement: They want to get an unlimited knowledge so they could opt to multiclass in all the Arcane classes.

Experts in the World

“	If there is something you can't do, start studying it	”
—Kosuke, the Goblin Expert

Daily Life: Typically and expert will spend the day performing and soliciting his craft, selling arms, performing on the street, shipping cargo across the seas or selling potions and spells. It all depends upon what the expert's focus is.

Organizations:Due to their wide array of professions and skill sets, experts as a whole do not have a common organization, however many of them are a part of merchant's guild if available in their town.

NPC Reactions: It depends on the expertise specializations, for example a Craft specialized Expert would be trated as a Mercahnt
