Chapter 28 - Class Evolution
Austin and I made it back to camp before opening our notifications. We didn't know what the class evolution would do and we figured being in the safety of the camp was the best bet. For all we knew it would force us to choose as soon as we opened the screen before knocking us out.
It most likely wouldn't be that extreme but we couldn't help but think of worst-case scenarios and all the ways it could go wrong. We both thought it was a better idea to wait until we got back.
We nearly skipped like two school kids all the way back because of how excited we were. I had just gotten my profession and now I was evolving my class not 12 hours later. I was in for a huge power boost and I was vibrating with excitement.
We made it back to camp quickly and separated into our own lodges to go through the process. I pulled up the notifications to see how to do this thing.
*Skills Available*
I guess I needed to pick my final skill before I got to evolve my class. Since this was my last skill, I thought about all the ones I had taken thus far and wondered what kind of evolution they would lead to.
The guide in the beginning said that skill choice would affect class evolution and this was my last chance to nudge it in the right direction. I started with the attack skill Power Strike, then followed with the defensive skill Fortified Body.
I then probably screwed up with my next choice of Throwing Mastery, it didn't match any of the others very well and it went in a different direction than the rest. Identify was next and wasn't that bad of a choice. I think that everyone would probably have it somewhere in their beginning skills, the only difference being when.
Being able to see the level of what you were facing was essential and anyone that forewent getting it was either dead or quickly remedied that choice.
Penetrating Strike was another attacking skill and made that discipline the majority. Strictly counting class skills gave 3 attacking, 1 defensive, and 1 utility.
I had to think about whether I wanted to go all-in on the attacking side and get a fourth, guaranteeing a class that was related, or evening it out with a second defensive skill.
If I really wanted to mess with it, I could get a magic attacking skill to mess up the mix. As funny as that would be, I didn't think that it would lead to the most ideal of evolutions.
