In the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, the aristocrat is one of the non-player character classes. They are usually educated, wealthy individuals who were born into high position. Typical aristocrats are rulers and their families, courtiers, and wealthy merchants. They are given the freedom to train in the fields of their choice, for the most part, and often travel widely. With access to all the best goods and opportunities, many aristocrats become formidable individuals. Some even go on adventures with fighters, wizards, and members of other classes, although usually such activities are nothing more than a lark.
[edit] Combat Training
Aristocrats are proficient in the use of all simple and martial weapons, and with all types of armour and shields. They are about as tough as a monk or a ranger.
An aristocrat's base attack bonus is equal to a cleric or a rogue. While they are formidible combatants, they do not undergo the intense training that warriors and their ilk do.
[edit] Multiclass Restrictions
An aristocrat cannot be a multiclass character unless their first level is in the arisocraft class. This is because being an arisocrat isn't so much a choice as a position one is born into.
[edit] Skills
Class skills for the aristocrat are Appraise, Bluff, Diplomacy, Disguise, Forgery, Gather Information, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Knowledge (all fields), Listen, Perform, Ride, Sense Motive, Speak Language, Spot, Swim, and Survival. They receive 4 skill points per level, plus their Intelligence modifier.
