Cursed by fate, handed a dagger, and told nothing else. The tree opens
at the orphanage door and never rejoins itself: some roads end where
they start, one keeps forking until it runs off the edge of the world.
Touch any face to see what it is like to be, and the road that leads
there lights up behind it.
No class is all of those at once. Try dropping one.
The Thief road
The main line, and the one most people walk. You stay a Thief long enough to find out what you are, and then the road opens all at once: some doors end where they stand, some fork again, and one gives up every specialisation to keep every school at the same time.
The Assassin sharpens what already works. A specialisation lifts the ceiling the job was holding you under, and it is what a final job wants to see before it will take you. Refuse, and the job locks instead.
The Rogue throws the manual away. The same rules, somewhere else entirely: these roads end furthest from where they started, and one of them ends in a spellcaster. Refuse, and the job locks instead.
Keep every school and answer to none of them. An Unchained Thief never narrows, and what waits at the end of that is the one job in the world that never has to choose.
One change at the orphanage door, and never a second one. These jobs do not branch into another job later: they grow inside their own skill tree, so everything the character will ever learn is already in front of you at the moment you choose. Merchant is not a combat job at all. It does not fight and it does not level; it trades.
