Character Classes: Philosophers (Order)

The pursuit of knowledge and cultivation of wisdom are what occupy a Philosopher. Those concerned with knowledge for its own sake form the Sage family; Philosophers who devote their study to a particular type of magic and use knowledge as a means to power are Mages. The special skill of the Philosopher order is that, subject to various modifiers, any Philosopher may attempt to decipher written or spoken languages.
