Classes:



The class is the vocation of your character, their formal education or upbringing. Each class has specific starting equipment and starting capital, one time bonuses on certain skills as well as extraordinary skills, that are often also found apart from a class or are learnable in a different way,
but that each member of a class has from ground up.


If there are several options given, for example with the starting equipment or with the extraordinary skills or elsewhere, and if they are marked by an OR only one(!) may be chosen.


Furthermore you'll find with each class a column with “fitting traits”. You can mind those, but don't have to. To use an over simplified example: a NCR Ranger infantry man with the trait Faster Addiction has basically only trouble with it: most drugs are illegal in the NCR, on duty he has little
opportunity to get some and he'll lose his job if he gets caught with some. One could say this trait is useless to such a character. But players are welcome to try it themselves. If the character that you're planning works that way, is, as always, subject to a master's ruling.


This list is organized by theme – within the themes by alphabet. A word to the starting capital: The starting capital is not only the amount of money that your character has at the start of his first adventure: it's also the money used to begin with, to “buy” the further equipment of your character: from special items that are needed for his vocation to lucky charms to hobby accessories like musical instruments.


Concerning an own bed, an own apartment or similar, it's encouraged to anchor that in the character's history and agree on it with the master. Furthermore, there is only the most important set of clothes of your class given. Further clothes are bought with the starting capital. And if, for
example, with a uniform no socks and underwear are mentioned, well, that does not mean your character isn't issued one. Please assume that your character has at least one full set of clothes unless he is a poor beggar.

Warriors and fighters:


Bodyguard:


Bodyguards have a vocation similar to that of caravan guards, in so much as both defend something with violence: there of course, end the similarities. Bodyguards are usually hired by very rich persons to protect themselves or people close to themselves. Bodyguards usually work in urban environments and usually prefer pistols, since that leaves one hand free to shove the principal aside while one self faces the danger.

Bounty hunter:


Bounty Hunters are mostly found outside the great, established settlements with rule of law. In the NCR their function is usually taken over by police, outside the city states the Rangers do such work. In Vault-City they are as superfluous as inside the Brotherhood of Steel, but in the rougher, more lawless areas of the wasteland they can be found in great numbers. They are hired to find fleeing delinquents, dead or alive – though most prefer to bring them back dead.

Most bounty hunters (but by far not all of them) prefer classic Wild West weapons.

Ranger of the New California republic:


The military of the New California Republic is a former mercenary group, that call themselves the New California Rangers and that try hard to hold up the republican ideal of equality – and that were created as a militant opposition to the slave trade. The rangers are mainly composed of infantry and cavalry and their main duty is patrolling.


Ranger Cavalryman:


Usually a Private First Class or corporal, fresh out of basic training and now on his first posting. Usually the Rangers choose their cavalrymen out of people who are already experienced with horses – and then give them a 4 week crash course.

The criminal counterpart of the bounty hunter (in so far as you can talk of criminals in a mostly lawless world).

Prostitute:


Prostitution is hardly unknown in the wasteland.

In the NCR, prostitution is illegal, though usually the cops tend to look away as long as no pimp is involved. Some policemen abuse the whole thing and get their “bribe” as payment in kind.
Other established settlements have, of course, their own approach to the whole buisness.

Traveling salesman: Free trader


Traveling free traders are merchants, that have their shops on the streets or on market places. Since they don't have a big warehouse at their disposal, their wares are usually items that weigh little (or are small) and cost much. Some of them have specialized on certain groups of wares, for example chems and medicines or weapons or tools or clothes etc., but most traveling salesmen buy and sell everything they can fit onto their carts.

Traveling salesman: Trading outfit


Traveling free traders are merchants, that have their shops on the streets or on market places. Those of them, that work directly for one of the three great trading outfits (i.e. the Crimson Caravans, the Far Go Traders or the Slavers Guild) operate slightly different than common free traders. The exact business model varies strongly between these three outfits, which is why we suggest looking up the correct model for your character under “World – Economy and Trading – The great Trading Outfits and Centers”.

Furrier:


Furrier are people that have specialized on working with leather. It's them, that make leather out of Brahmin and Gecko skins – and then keep working that leather to turn it, for example, into clothing or armor.
Furriers usually have their own workshop in which they work on the skins with more or less complex, chemical processes. This isn't really an occupation that lends itself to traveling much.

Smith:


A smith is a person that works and processes metal. Usually they have their own workshop or share one with other smiths (even in the wasteland, there are still apprentices, journeymen or masters, though not quite as formal as elsewhere before the Great War). The metal that they work stems
mostly from before the War, but there are also a few newly opened mines. A post apocalyptic smith often operates his own smelter and forms a workpiece from smelting to every other production step to the finished, complex tool (or whatever else he's producing).
Smiths are quite often tinkerers and innovators that try to create something new.

Tailor:


Tailors are people that craft clothing. Usually they have a small workshop, often combined with a small sales area. The especially well off tailor has sewing machines and tools to ply his craft with leather, the poorer ones have needle and thread. Cloth comes usually from pre War rests – or is spun and weaved by the tailors themselves, usually from cotton or of the wool of mutated bighorner sheep.

Wilderness dwellers:


Farmer:


Farmer are found often in the Wasteland. It's an arduous, often even dangerous occupation to work the contaminated earth, even in the peaceful inner parts of the NCR where raiders are no real threat. Farmers, as opposed to Ranchers, are specialists in growing fruits, vegetables and grains. While they usually keep animals around, they spend most of their time on their fields.

Hunter:


There are many wild animals worth hunting in the wasteland. Geckos for example are hunted both for their skins and their meat, and several other animals as well. Hunters take down those animals with rifles and primitive traps, they then use all of the dead animal and sell those parts they don't have a use for themselves.

Trapper:

Survivor:


There are numerous small groups – or even single persons – that live mostly cut off from all other groups. Whether they keep hidden or just live in rather difficult to reach areas, varies from group to group. But however different two groups of survivors are, one thing they all have in common: they live of the land and that mostly rather well.

Tribals:


The members of the mostly primitive tribes – of which some are remnants from before the Great War while most however founded themselves afterwards – are called Tribals. They distinguish themselves from the “civilized people” by being less sedentary and by killing each others with
spears and arrows, rather than with pistols and rifles.


Hunter and gatherer:


Hunters and gatherers are responsible for making sure that the tribe does not suffer hunger. They – this shouldn't come as a surprise – hunt animals and gather plant foodstuff. They usually act in small teams.

Shaman:


Shamans are the spiritual leaders of the tribes. Their exact duties vary strongly from tribe to tribe, just like their regard within the tribe. Since the tribal religions differ greatly from each other, we can't say too much about this part of the shamans' work. Their other main duty however is the
mixing of Broc Flower and Xander Root to create healing powders and the treatment of all wounds of the tribe.
