#####R=== Polymath ===

#####GDescription

Polymaths are "Renaissance man" adventurers, willing and able to 
learn almost anything--but rarely dedicated to perfecting one skill 
as much as a warrior, a priest or a sorcerer might.  As a result, 
they can pick up a wide range of physical and magical abilities.  
However, their reluctance to focus on one idea at a time keeps 
Polymaths from learning too quickly--or from gaining a few skills 
normally reserved for single-minded specialists.

Polymaths never dedicate themselves to a deity, good or evil.  This 
isn't necessarily because they hate the Valar or doubt those beings' 
existence:  it's just that a Polymath's search for knowledge 
*wherever* he can find it often leads him to question orthodox faith.
