Dilettante (di - luh - taant)

While their numbers are greatly reduced after the cataclysm, a few of these children of leisure still exist. They are typically the offspring of powerful warlords or the directors of well-stocked bunkers, who are treated like a new breed of royalty. Many dilettantes are cruel and selfish, having been raised to believe that only through strength and ruthlessness can they keep the status they crave. A dilettante may be as young as 15. Because a post-apocalyptic world has different priorities even for a dilettante, such a character may take any one Knowledge skill as a permanent class skill (he is not restricted just to current events and popular culture). Prerequisite: Age 15+. Skills: Choose one of the following skills as permanent class skills. If the skill you select is already a class skill. you receive a +1 competence bonus on checks using that skill.
