Dogfighter
The job of a fighter pilot is a tough and dangerous one. Years of intense training never truly prepare a Dogfighter for their first combat experience. Spewed from a mother ship in a blur, they see in an instant a massive on-slot of thousands of other little ships so small they are barely visible. On the canvas of stars that makes up the milky-way the scene is illuminated in flashes by weapon fire almost seaming to twinkle. An awe inspiring sight of modern violence. Most do not survive this first chaotic experience. But this is sadly the best way to weed out those that can and those that cannot. Most choose this path because they are thrill seekers and hotshots who think they are invincible.
If a Dogfighter has survived more then a few dozen of these battles then likely they are among the greatest in the galaxy in piloting ships. Most, realizing their own mortality, end their service at such point and put their skills to use in much less dangerous and more lucrative positions. From flying the ships of dignitaries, to pirating, to flying support for a cargo run, they are recognized for their service even by nations that they did not fight for, and they are feared as some of the greatest pilots.
Choose the Dogfighter if you want your character to be an astrogatin', battleship-hatin' fighter jockey with confident skills in the pilot seat and elsewhere.

Scientist may make grand discoveries about the universe and our place in it. But Engineers are the ones that exploit those discoveries and make them useful and piratical in every day life. Engineers are the corner stone of modern civilizations. They make sure that society keeps moving day to day. Silently working in the background repairing the machines of industry. However some do not like the mundane quite life hidden in the shadows of civilization. Some venture forth and try there luck out in the galactic frontier. Or in some other exciting position that brings an escape from monotony.
Software has been know to be extremely flexible, especially with artificial intelligence. However hardware is not. And hardware is the engineer's forte. Out in the galaxy there is an unknown amount of unimaginable obstacles to face. Engineers are known for their knowledge in how things work, how to fix things and make them more efficient. They can often bybass security measures or whip up special weapons or equipment in the field. It would be ridiculous for a team of colonizers to not bring an engineer too a new unknown planet. The job of a engineer can mean life and death for all involved. Those willing to leave there comfortable life, there cozy workshops, garages and shipyards may find riches and adventure.
Choose Engineer if you want your character to excel at building, modifying, repairing, and disabling electrical and mechanical equipment, including weapons.
The fastest path into this advanced class is through the Path of Intelligence(Smart Hero), though other paths are possible.

It can be hard learning a new culture. Even harder if its from an Alien species and civilization. Some however love the challenge and get excited when those such barriers are torn down. Even rarer group of people love to do that with alien creatures. A Xenophile is usually seen as just a career choice for those that study the physiology, psychology, culture, and technology of other species. But for must Xenophiles its a life choice and life choose for them. To them there is no greater joy then furthering science by discovery of new alien species.
Usually this interest and even sometimes love for other species doesn't bestow any special kinship with them. However in rare cases it can. Some aliens creatures can be domesticated and even trained. Some Xenophiles take advantage of this to learn more about that species and how it interacts in different environments.
On the other side of the spectrum some Xenophiles attempt to be more detached from there subjects to try to stay as objective and scientific as possible.
Either case Xenophile's are usually found at newly discovered planets that have life on them. If not they are in civilization showcasing there newest discoveries. Sometimes they can be called upon by Nations or mega-corporations to help colonization efforts that have gone south because of the local alien "monsters".
Choose the Xenophile class if you want a Character to know the abilities , strengths, and weakness of various xenomorphs and/or even have a pet alien!
The fastest path into this advanced class is through the Path of Wisdom(Wise Hero), though other paths are possible.

Xenophile's Class Features
The following class features pertain to the Xenophile advanced class.
- Xeno-Master or Xeno Philotherian
- At first level the Xenophile must choose between the Xeno-Master path or Xeno Philotherian path. There are some class features that are shared between both.
- Xeno-Master: You choose to be more detached from your studies. You learn from observing alien creatures in there natural habitats. Because of this you learn more about how to hunt down such creatures as well as there own way of surviving and defending themselves from predators. If a colony has a pest or alien monster problem then it is a unique opportunity to both study the creatures both in nature and under a microscope.
- Xeno Philotherian: You can choose a baby alien creature to be imprinted at there birth or shortly there after. This causes a special bond that will allow the Xeno Philotherian to study and learn more about a specific creature then studying it normally. This shows a specific dedication toward learning about a specific alien species.
- Xenolore
- At 1st level a Xenophile can make a Intelligence check to identify certain characteristics of a xenomorph, including any special attacks, special qualities, or vulnerabilities. In general, the DC of the Knowledge check equals 8 + the xenomorph’s Hit Dice. A successful check allows the Xenophile to unlock a single fact about the xenomorph. For every 5 points by which her check result exceeds the DC, the Xenophile learns another piece of useful information.
- Quick Chemistry
- At 2nd level the Xenophile can craft general chemical and pharmaceuticals such as acids, poisons, health concoctions, etc... more quickly than normal. When using the Craft (chemical) or Craft (Pharmaceutical) skill to cook General Equipment items, the Engineer reduces the building time by 1/2.
- At 6th level, the Xenophile reduces the building time of chemical masterworked concoctions objects by half.
- Xeno Biology
- All Xenophiles at 3rd level can show off there biological insights gifted from long studies of alien species to craft experimental concoctions that can have surprising effects. The Xenophile can gear the concoctions toward negative or positive effects and can use them to help boost themselves or there animal subjects. However if you are ever offered a drink from a known Xenophile take at your own risk! These experimental concoctions are unstable and have short expiration dates. They will need to attended (re-mixed, re-crafted, redone, etc...) every 24 hours or else they become inert. Unlike normal craft checks crafting these concoctions can take little time (10 minutes per vile) and can mostly use materials gathered in the environment (when suitable, Survival check DC12 + Misc Mods, time 20 Min). If not the materials follow the same price as normal.
- Over time the Xenophile gets better and preparing these concoctions and can prepare more of them a day. There is a single crafting check for each day and the Xenophile can take 10 or 20. The Xenophile can re-try for every concoction they can prepare but the total is reduced by one until they cannot craft anymore. Number of different and total concoctions prepared per day is: 2 + 1/2 Xenophile's level round up. (The items cannot be sold as they are mostly useless to other creatures and they have such short shelf life.) The effect lasts for Xenophile's Wisdom Mod turns.
