| Scheherazade’s Storyteller
Guide
Why choose to be a storyteller? I wouldn't advise becoming one for the dinars or if you want to age quickly or even if you ever wanted to excel in any one skill. I also wouldn't recommend becoming a storyteller simply so you can write "fame stories" or play with puppets. The best thing about being a storyteller, in my opinion, is the roleplaying aspect of the game. While warriors are out fighting, rogues are picking boxes, priests are meditating in temples, and alchemists are blowing things up, we get to sit and chat, tell stories, sing songs, and just generally have fun. Now as I see it there are two kinds of storytellers....There are the Jack of All Trades Storytellers and then there are the Hardcore Storytellers. The Jack of All Trades folk dabble here and there whenever the mood suits them, usually letting their god or goddess provide them with knowledge of arts and lore. The Hardcore Storytellers spend all their time with their noses in a book, study with Katrina and Gastacius every moment they possibly can and basically ignore all the other skills, letting them come to them naturally. While it makes for a weak fighter and not very good at much anything else, it makes them great at what they were born to do, storytelling.
