Trainee base: Priest Trainee
First Class:
ALCHEMIST: People who are not as magically-adept as Priests, or do not belong to any 'holy' religion, often become Alchemists; these sturdy folk brave deep forests and treacherous swamps, using axes and clubs for protection. In these unwelcome, wild places, Alchemists gather their ingredients, both mundane and mystical, from which various everyday medicine will be created, for the use of common folk.

Promoted Class A, variant with co-promotion from Nomad:
COMBAT MEDIC: Be it a Nomad that took on alchemy, or an Alchemist that devoted his life to battlefields - Combat Medics are synergy of both.

Promoted Class B:
PHARMACIST: Given enough time, successful Alchemists gain enough fame and wealth, allowing them to settle down and open apothecaries; such Pharmacists are treasured by the citizenry as being short of miracle-workers. Traveling Pharmacists gain quite a reputation, too; songs and tales of bards mention traveling doctors that, with only their alchemical skills and wisdom, manage to cure whole villages from plague and disease.

"My grandfather said..." Yonn lost interest in arguing. He looked at Sheila, then at his men running away, then at the few hiding in the valley. He took a deep breath and then looked at one of his armored men.
"What is happening? Did they surrender?" She then noticed Yonn. "And why he is still alive?"
