Overview

The protean path is the neutral path offered to those who eschew specialization for the sake of flexibility and the ability to deal with any situations encountered. While it is possible for adventurers to change their path freely, and while Freelancers grow in power with every bit of training they get in other areas, most ignore this path, seeing it as merely a bridge, a first step towards pursuing other paths. This means that freelancers are the most widely underrated and overlooked class, due to their lack of immediate power. However, for those who are willing to invest their time and energy into training in a variety of paths, freelancers can grow into quite the formidable adventurers as they inherit abilities from every other class they've unlocked and trained in.
