== 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.
