Scholar

This article is about a class in Towers and Tarragons. If you would like to edit this article, please leave a message asking for permission.

Description
Scholars are typically youthful souls that thirst for knowledge; they are skilled in elemental, energy, and light magic, and can use these spells to attack enemies from a multitude of ranges but also for healing allies. Scholars have solid Magic Attack, so they can effectively contribute to combat. They have average Magic Defense, so they can reduce the damage they take from enemy magic attacks. Scholars however have low Attack, Defense, and Agility, so they are very vulnerable to enemies that possess physical weapons, as they have a very difficult time evading and tanking hits from them.

Overview
Scholars are good to have in any campaign because of their versatility in magic and attack ranges.

The drawback of the Scholar's Learn Skill skill is that they can only learn skills that are known or can be learned by their allies, and if the Scholar only has one other ally in the party, then they can only learn a skill of one other class.

Scholars can learn many Skills, with there being some exceptions. These exceptions are:

Warlock's Shapeshift

Genie's Polymorph and Wish Grant

Lodestar's Ignis

The Know-It-All skill allows the Scholar to learn another type of magic outside of elemental, light, and energy magic; as it is a passive skill, it is a good idea to use this skill on every turn in the early game when outside of combat so that the Scholar can eventually learn every type of magic there is and be more versatile than before.

Polyglot is another passive skill that the Scholar can use to instantly learn any language of their choice.

The Pen is Mightier skill is another passive skill that will boost the Scholar's Magic Attack, Magic Defense, and Agility when fighting enemies that wield physical weapons; though the increase in Agility will not be enough to allow them to effectively evade enemy attacks, it can be enough so that stat buffs to their Agility provided by ally skills will be enough to do so.

The Bookmark skill is also a good support skill that prevents an ally's stats from being lowered by enemy spells and skills.

The Student Loan skill decreases the Scholar's Magic Attack and Magic Defense stats, but then increases an ally's Magic Attack and Magic Defense for the same amount; best used on an ally with low Magic Defense or an ally magic-user that has had their Magic Attack lowered.
