The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1142: Solving Imbalances

The mere thought that she might rid the world of Warriors who only cared about two skills in their entire skill tree was enough to send the Blue Dragon into blissful daydreams.

It was a lifelong ambition of her branch of the clergy.

Karl worked on another copy of [Golem Duplication] for Dana to use, and then passed it to Rae, with a promise to make her one to sell once he had a bit of spare time. First, he had plans to recruit Blue Dragons to the Library.

“What if I made a collection of Skill Books that are likely to cause advanced classes? You could bring in Librarians to make copies, and then the Blue Dragon Clergy could start an initiative to advance as many warriors as possible.

You could even do it out of Zilaz, where there are so many more warriors with excess resources.” Karl suggested.

Sapphire smirked at him. “You’re not even trying to pretend that this isn’t an attempt to claim more dragons for the Darklight Host.”

Karl shrugged. “Sometimes it’s fun to play along, sometimes it’s just easier to make sure everyone understands.

How do Silver Dragons feel about new spells and skills?”

Both dragons roared with laughter.

“Even more strongly than the Librarians do. The Blue Dragons want to know, and want the hard copy. Silver dragons wish to know the spell, and then they intend to use it.” Sapphire agreed.

“So, we need Silver Dragons here as well. That would be a good combination. We could make another Dungeon team, for them to test out and practice new skills to see what will trigger class advancements.” Karl suggested.

He could see the possibilities running through Sapphire’s mind, then the very moment that a brilliant plan came to her.

“You know… there is no actual rule against asking the Acolytes to join a study. They just need to meet the requirements to advance, right? We could grab all those warriors that the Red Dragons keep around and train as guards for merchants and such.

They are already being trained by the clergy, so there is no harm in making them into something more useful than a basic warrior template.” She suggested.

Matron Blackclaw looked vaguely offended. The mercenary guards that the Red Dragon Clerics trained were chosen from the finest fighters among the Orphans, and the Red Dragons did not appreciate others calling them useless.

But Sapphire was already making plans, and wondering if she should call home to the Sholaha and Kopji region temples to gather volunteers.

Between the two nations, there should be at least ten thousand warriors in training at any given time. Even a one percent volunteer rate would give them statistically significant data.

The only issue was that they needed them all to be the same Ranks so that they could send healers with them into test dungeons and properly vet the results.

That was a clergy issue, not a Karl issue.

All he had to do was make sure that there was a variety of skill books for the Blue Dragons to copy so that they could properly test their students and the theory that it only took one appropriate skill to trigger a class change away from the basic group.

Karl knew that there were a few skills that would help warriors advance to a better class, but the ones that Sapphire had in mind were mostly tanking classes. Paladins and Crusaders.

But Karl knew that there should be other warrior type classes, ones that blended with Rogue, Druid, Ranger or other classes.

The issue was that he could only make and teach skills that he already knew, so he needed to help diversify the skills of his beasts before he would be able to teach the warriors really incredible skills.

Hawk scoffed at Karl’s thoughts. Warriors were just meat puppets, weren’t they? They existed to be taunted from the air, and they couldn’t even shoot back.

But Thor had different ideas. Wasn’t Sister Rae a stealthy warrior when she started? Her initial abilities were mostly just sneaking up on people and punching holes in them. Maybe that was a Rogue instead?

But surely warriors could be taught to do that too, couldn’t they?

Warriors could also use bows, so they could do Ranger things. Just not well.

That was it. Warriors were just the crappy version of all the other physical fighting classes. Wasn’t that just too cruel, though? Why would so many people get the worst class? At least give them a better barrier so they could be a good tank or something.

Hawk couldn’t argue with that. Warriors were a prey species for sure.

Karl tried not to laugh as the pair slagged the Warriors. Their ideas were helping him plan what he could do to reduce the number of basic warriors, though.

It might only take a single skill for another class that was just compatible enough with them that they would push through on a new path. The new class might not be ultra-rare or powerful, but it should be a step up from the basic classes that were most common.

For example, the whole group of specialty Rogues that they had doing Runecrafting in Zilaz. They had different skills than regular Rogues, and if the base class could create their own solid weapons from nothing, they would gain a distinct advantage with the skills they already had.

At least, situationally.

So, the next thing that Karl needed to do was to either burn some skill points getting random books, or start combining the basic abilities of everyone until he got new skills he could teach warriors.

If he gave them a beast space, it would most likely make them beast Rangers, or something similar to it. But if he gave them a combination of Mental Fortitude and an attack spell, they should be able to become a Battle Mage of some sort.

If they were bright enough.

Not all warriors were stupid. But all mages had to be at least moderately intelligent.
