Miner/Prospector Vocation
(Physical Trait)
SEC 1-5, 3 at start (2 for prospector).
This vocation takes two forms. A miner is employed by government or business to oversee mining operations, usually conducted by slaves or criminals. A prospector, on the other hand, is a solitary wanderer looking for that one 'lucky strike' before retiring to a life of luxury. While the miner may not be well suited for a HP Vocation, a prospector could easily shift toward other professions should prospects for a claim dry up. This Vocation is quite focused in Physical K/S Areas, although there is a number of Mental K/S Areas to round out the bundle. Typically, only the lower and middle classes will consider mining or prospecting as a potential Vocation, hoping that they may achieve higher status through the find of a rich vein of ore. Prospectors in particular will find their outlook changed by the discovery of sudden wealth. When playing such a persona, think of hazardous work, digging, darkness, claim, and 'strike it rich'.
