====== Space Monkey (Advanced Class) ====== When a wealthy nation, stellar empire, or mega-corporation needs to tame a hostile world or explore a remote corner of space, they often use rugged yet expendable astronauts skilled at adapting to harsh conditions. Willing to tackle almost any challenge for cash, Space Monkeys are ideally suited for galactic "grunt work," able to complete straight-forward missions in difficult environments with little or no supervision. Small teams of Space Monkeys are often called upon to "clear" hostile worlds, build habitats on them, and prepare these worlds for colonization. Select this advanced class if you want your character to survive and thrive in the far-flung reaches of space, risking all for adventure's sake ... or a fat paycheck. The fastest path into this advanced class is from the Tough hero basic class, though other paths are possible. =====Requirements===== To qualify to become a Space Monkey, a character must fulfill the following criteria. **Starting Occupation:** [[occupations|Astronaut Trainee]]. **Skills:** Craft ([[craft_mechanical_skill|mechanical]] or [[craft_structural_skill|structural]]) 6 ranks, [[survival_skill|Survival]] 6 ranks. **Tough Hero Talent:** Any one talent from the [[tough_plus_feat|Unbreakable Talent Tree]]. =====Class Information===== The following information pertains to the Space Monkey advanced class. **Hit Die:** The Space Monkey gains 1d10 vitality points per level.
