Combinations

Besides these standard templates, many other combinations work well — especially once you understand what each skill is doing for your role.

Taming on a mage-style character: If you travel a lot as a hunter/explorer, you may run into rare steeds or useful creatures — Taming becomes valuable naturally as you roam.

Wrestling + Magery: Works very well together. You can polymorph into stronger forms and become a serious threat in close combat.
