The Scholar is a non-spell user, specializing in researching, knowledge and science.
Prime stat: Memory Special: Every Scholar should select a 'field of study'. The GM should move skills to the Everyman and Occupational categories as is appropriate to the occupation. For example, a Scholar (Historian) should probably have History and Research as Occupational skills and possibly an ancient Language, Architecture, and Anthropology as Everyman skills. An other example is the Scholar (Psychlogist). He shold probably have Psychology and Interrogation as Occupational skills and Anthropology, Philosophy, and even Hypnosis as Everyman skills.

So! Here's the result. -Comments? -Critique? -...?
