Shifter


 * "Learns the abilities of characters over time."

The Shifter is the ultimate student. It is a mystical creature that can observe the techniques of humans and transfer those memories into a special stone for later use.

Stones
A Shifter has no abilities of its own, but rather can learn every skill of another class by storing the memories in a stone. Two such stones can be equipped at the same time, and together they take the place of one special item slot. Effectively, this character can have all the abilities of any two classes at a time.

Stones must be leveled up by having the Shifter in the same party as the desired class and having the party clear a room full of enemies--referred to as "battles" in-game. A room with doors counts as a battle, whether you enter or bypass the doors.

Having more of the desired classes present leads to an additional level per battle. For example, completing a battle with 3 Fighters will yield 3 Fighter stone battles.

Having multiple shifters in a party will not create multiple levels per fight. Having 3 shifters and 1 fighter will not create 3 fighter levels.

Stones keep their level when you change dimensions.
