Editing Gadabout (section)

==={{DQ3}}===
Gadabouts are pretty much useless on the battlefield, but do have a great amount of luck. This allows them to avoid the affects of spells and abilities that cause irritating status ailments more often than other characters, such as [[Sweet Breath]] and [[Fuddle]]. The trade-off for this is the fact that these clowns have minds of their own, and the player cannot always control their actions. The Gadabout is the only class that can turn into a [[Sage]] at {{Alltrades Abbey 3}} without the [[Words of Wisdom]], merely needing to reach level 20 to do so. Rather than take a Gadabout from the beginning of the journey with this career advancement in mind, some players opt to instead turn an existing character in to a fop and level them up in the safety of their much stronger peers.
