Equipment: Druids usually restrict themselves
to wearing a robe and typically carry a ceremonial
dagger and an ornate quarterstaff. In general,
druids shun possessions that may not be found
in nature.
Magic Points: Druids begin with (18 +
1d12) MP and recover a number of points per hour
equal to their current occupational level. For example,
a 3 rd level druid recovers 3 MP per hour.
Unlike wizards, hierophants do not recover MP more
quickly while asleep. As druids advance in occupational
level, they gain an additional (18 + 1d12) MP.
Advancement Points: Druids gain AP with
each successful act that promotes a balance, though
not just any act, but any act that was difficult, dangerous,
or life-threatening. Points may be gained in
3 ways: with successful skill checks of the skills listed
above, successful attacks in life-threatening combat,
and the successful casting of a spell. Respectively,
points gained equal half of the adjusted number that
passed the skill check, half of the damage done to a
foe in combat, and half of the MP used when casting
a spell.
Training: None.
Guild: None.

Duke/Duchess
This occupation is for royalty. Only a king
or queen can make a character become a duke or
duchess. If the character accepts, then the duke or
duchess pledges allegiance to their king or queen.
Then, the king or queen grants the duke or duchess
a castle and land, which is their fief and called a
duchy. A duke or duchess answers only to the king
or queen. Otherwise, the duke or duchess may command
the characters of their castle and land as desired,
who are their vassals, including barons and
baronesses. Each hamlet and village on the land of
the duke or duchess will be in the safekeeping of a
lord or lady. Each lord and lady on their land is
subordinate to a baron or baroness. Each baron or
baroness is subordinate to the duke or duchess.
Additionally, a duke or duchess is usually a
member of a council of the king or queen and must
often travel to their court. The daily duties of a
duke or duchess are overwhelming. Instead of
lounging around their castle, a duke or duchess is
busy constantly. Daily wages are typically 100 s.p.
Due to the military nature of this occupation,
most dukes are experienced knights and were
promoted after loyal service as barons.
