JOURNEYMAN

The less experienced or less martially inclined travelers were for a long
time easy prey for the multiple predators roaming the lands. Then one day,
one of them had enough of being an easy target, of being the victim and
prayed to the gods to level the playing field. 
 
His wish was granted and some of his abilities were greatly boosted: His
regeneration was enhanced beyond the usual, he was more resistant to his
enemy's magic and his natural armor was also enhanced. He also felt
slightly more healthy and dexterous than before and could concentrate a
little longer.
 
With this blessing also came a warning: he was told he'd lose this advantage
the moment he claimed his 10th victory in a battle against someone of note.
No organization would allow him to progress beyond the trusted rank either,
until such a time he no longer needed this divine help. He was told he would
be able to shed this advantage whenever he chose to, however once he made
this choice he could not gain it again. 
 
Pleased with the success of his prayers, he felt he was no longer an apprentice
and could now learn to compete with the experienced. He chose the name
JOURNEYMAN for all that would follow in his footsteps.
