The joke answer is that Drew has a Past.
The real answer is that the party all paid each other to kill some Dungeon beasts, and that unlocked the class.

@RandomOTP
any opinion on the argument that we don't even need the golden goose race for med student if we have a hitman?

everyone else votes without the "Class:" part, so if you want tally bot to count your votes together with other peoples votes you need to remove it.

At work, I've hardly skimmed the chapter. Is
Personally, I'm leaning towards combat medic. It boosts safety while also not forcing Leo or Taylor to pigeon-hole themselves into merchant race/class to make Drew's build viable.
If Drew dies, then they'll be stuck with a suboptimal race/class, without the boosts that Drew had (will have had?) been providing up until that point.
Further, if Leo or Taylor (or both) have a SUPER MEGA OPTION that we're locked out of because we nailed one or the other to Drew's character sheet, then I'm going to be (only a little) salty.
----
Disclaimer: if either Taylor or Leo get a "Dragon" option? I'm voting for it. Maybe it'll have a Hoard, gold-boosting ability, maybe not. Maybe it doesn't even exist. But if it does, it'll get my vote.
----
Suggestion: maybe the votes aren't "confirmed" until Leo and Taylor also look at their options? Maybe Drew and Leo will hold back on pressing "accept" until Taylor skims through his, and then Levi will go "are ya sure?" And we can either go "hells yes" or "well, about that... what if we did [insert three-party-synergy thing] instead?"
Might drag out the voting for too long, though? I could see that being unpleasant to read/write/vote for.

I think your autocorrect converted 'hitman' to 'update'. If so then yes, there is a class named Hitman that Drew could choose.
...
Goddamn password manager, supposed to be secure, grumble, grumble...
I'm afraid that the rules that cover what game guides are allowed to do specify that each person must lock in their choices before the next person can check their races. Game guide rules also specify that race must be locked in before class is looked at.

Thanks, fixed. My phone wants to pretend that I'm a more moral person than I am, and would obviously never have cause to type such a morally dubious word.
Great minds ;>
Ah, sorry, saw you participating in the discussion and wondered why it cut off.
Yup, Drews race is the one that boost luck.
Now we choose Drews class.
Yeah, very understandable. But if we lose out on on combos because we don't consider the possibility, that would be annoying too.
Possible combo, if the class luck allows it:
Drew: Med student
Caliope: Hitman
Taylor: Mystic Scholar
Main argument is that Hitman is both: A good money earning opportunity and good damage boost. If we can stalk the enemy for it.
Advanced Backstab (starts at 4)
250% per skill level for something that is easy to do with med student.
"a small chance" (hello fortunas favored child!) to multiply total damage with skill level
Skill: In My Sights (starts at 3)
200% per skill level which should again be easy to pull off with med student
and something to make good money* off of kills (need to dedication before med student makes them unconscious)
* same level mob with level 5 Contract killer -> 889gp
Without med student it is still good.
Or from the mystic scholar if anyone from astro army has a heal spell and would be willing to spend an hour with us.

Also, my priorities for skimming went "Dragons? Okay, no dragons. Wait, what's this about a combat medic?"
[waves off any perceived irritation or indignation]
You're fine, thanks for your concern, though ^.^
Well, my preference is definitely Dragon for Taylor. Something about the image of scorching petty annoyances to ash sounds cathartic. Besides, the potential wholesomeness when Moose is confused by Taylor's new form, and then a hecking good doggo's concern when his Human-Who-Isn't-A-Human runs into the frontlines sounds nice to read.
EJ has just hinted that I was on to something about the Dragon Race having some measure of monetary boon to it. The A.I. sounds like a monstrous troll based on Levi's perspective, and Levi warned Taylor that the A.I. taking an interest in a Dungeon Crawler isn't necessarily a good thing.
I could see the A.I. being cruel with regards to the open contracts (like giving Moose one, right as they're talking about doing a mercy killing after Moose gains a horribly painful, fatal debuff). Better to sidestep it as much as possible, I think? Dragon seems like a safer option, I think.
---------------------------
Combat medic gives a decent boost to stats, unlocks a better version of the Health Potion recipe, increases the amount of healing spells we have on hand (meaning less reliance upon health potions, and we're not totally screwed if we run out or need more than we have), and also compounds on Drew's Luck Motif through the Fortune Sculpting effect.
Drew doesn't have a willful personality. He's not an extrovert, he's not going to rally the crowds on his own, as he is. So building up his image, building up the things that occur without a willful expenditure of effort on his part, will help to raise Drew's popularity. And through his popularity, his chances at survival.

That actually cost him some class options. I originally had 'Construction Foreman' on the list for him and then realized that he's not the leader type or the construction-worker type.
For clarity, the hitman chooses what contracts he accepts. Everything, including Moose, has a contract available, but the hitman doesn't have to take them all.
Agreed on Taydragon. And in the combo suggestion i made Taylors class is not an earth class, so dragon shouldn't cause issues.
If the class description isn't lying, the A.I. can't do that.
All beings on the floor automatically have one.
It is the Hitmans choice which to accept (as long as the target is conscious and at 100% health).
We have confirmation from eaglejarl that "beings" includes mobs.
| Combat Medic | Medical Student |
| stats for physical fighting | stats for magical fighting (higher) |
| Alchemy components | - |
| +2 (aoe) or +3 (only him) luck skill | - |
| 50% move speed | +15% xp on everything |
| healing | better healing |
| - | debuff cleaning, debuff moving, buff moving |
| - | buff ability |
| - | anti-pain + optional sleep effect (great synergy with hitman) |
So from floor 4 on we could make healing potions with combat medic. Might find things for that without CM, maybe not.
How does Combat Medic help his image, except for healing?
The healing part he can also do with Medical Student. And with Anesthesia he can combo with a Hitman to be very effective, could help a debuffer image.
@eaglejarl
btw, there is an issue with the class description of medical student:
It first calls "Heal Party" a benefit (without listed level) and then a Spell (which should have a level).

Fortune Sculpting compounds the Lucky Racial boost, meaning Drew will be able to play into it more often/better. Since it's an "always on" ability, he won't have to think about it, or remember to turn it on. The audience will watch the improbable luck happen, repeatedly, and they'll see the Favored Child skill grow, which will further solidify Drew as "the lucky one."
Like how, in the band Destiny's Child, every singer had a one line descriptor, and that made it so that their audience easily connected with them, on an emotional level. The audience felt like they "knew" the singers, so they bought more music, they watched their performances, and Drew having an "always on" Lucky Effect helps to cement "Drew is the Lucky One" in the minds of the viewer.
I'll concede that Medical Student gives better boons and more XP, and that a Dragon racial boon would probably help mitigate the cost factor (unless I'm overestimating the Hoard aspect of the racial boon).
I'll vote Medical Student, though, since it's ahead of Combat Medic, and I'd rather have Drew be a designated Healer than something more... chancy like Child Actor. In no small part because I worry that Drew, high as a kite, might try to invoke Cockroach unwisely.
He's not stupid, but he's high nearly 24/7. If Drew's character were more sedate and reliable, then I'd probably vote in C.A., but he's not, so I won't.

Good point on strengthening the Luck. At least that will work regardless of chosen class.

Three quick notes:
1. If he choose Combat Medic then Drew can either take +2 on his Fortuna's Favorite Child skill (putting it to 14), or he can keep FFC at 12 and have a separate level-3 luck field. In the latter case it's as though he's got two chances for the luck to kick in, but one of those chances is a lot less likely and a lot less powerful than the other.
2. FFC is an always-on effect. It has a skill level because it becomes more powerful as it levels up
3. I was memeing about the dragon thing. I would feel terrible if you made plans/votes based on supposition about what might come up for options, or (worse) about jokes I was making. I'm not commenting on whether or not there is a dragon race.

I won't lie, the Postal reference/class has me further convinced that Drew has some pretty severe anger/violence issues that he's self-medicates with marijuana.

Ah, oops. I thought it was a joke and a reveal all in one. In that case...

Better for Drew (plausible anger issues aside) to be the one taking contracts, rather than Leo. They don't necessarily have to be people, but Drew has acclimated to the violence of the Dungeon far better than Leo has. Better to keep the weight off her shoulders where we can, rather than put so much that she breaks.

You can do approval voting to vote for multiple options. With you Medical Student would be 3-way-tied with Strip magician and Former child actor.
Except for the first boss, did Leo ever have any trouble with killing mobs?
So, as long as we aren't hunting humanoids she shouldn't have any problems.
Don't know if a hitman image fits him, with the whole being high on pot shtick.
@eaglejarl
do you have a policy on tally bot splitting votes? Currently some are voting for classes just with their name and some with "Class:" and then the name. Would you add both versions to get the real winner?
