Survivor

Survivor is one of the role-playing Subclasses in Elder Tale.

Overview
The title of Survivor is given to those who excel in survival in harsh natural environments such as frigid frozen soil, scorching deserts, high mountains and dense jungles, and who possess the skills to survive in extreme situations. It can also represent the "lucky ones" who can survive almost any crisis.

Among the skills it gives, some can reduce disadvantages caused by harsh environments and various abnormal conditions like poison and disease, and others allow them to perform some actions despite thirst and hunger. In areas such as jungles, deserts, tundras and alpine areas, Survivors can also collect items like a Forager. However, this collecting skill is a deterioration of the original Forager’s skill because it is far less efficient and limited in the aforementioned zones, making it unsuitable for people who would like to make a profit out of it. Moreover, the other survival skills (triggered by adverse situations such as "Broken Weapon", "Under abnormal state", or "Subject to critical hits and ambushes") are, in normal situations, useless and inactive. (In those situations, it increases the chance of escaping opponents or boost speed.)

Consequently, opinions about this subclass’ effectiveness are divided as part of the players say it is more efficient to just take measures against crisis situations in the first place and take another subclass. Some Adventurers even consider it a trap subclass because certain quests can suddenly force it on them depending on the choices they make.

It is a minor subclass among People of the Earth, as its skills aren’t needed or encountered in ordinary villages. Its only population is the few people living far from human settlements in inhabited areas.
