Compensated Anarchist

Compensated Anarchist class

Carl's rare Monk/Rogue Earth class: a trap-making, bomb-making, social-media dynamo with weak conventional combat.

Story so far

Compensated Anarchist is a rare Earth class open only to crawlers with level-5 Explosives Handling and 500 billion views by the third floor — 'the paid protestor' who throws a Molotov one moment and pleads for peace on camera the next. A Monk/Rogue hybrid expert in traps, bombs, and dirty hand-to-hand fighting, it is weak at traditional weapon combat (-25% bladed damage, +25% mana on damage spells). Carl chose it for its deep toolkit: +5 Charisma, the Fear spell, and rare skills including Backfire, Escape Plan (with hidden Dungeon Locator access), Find Trap, Bomb Surgeon, Trap Engineer, and Hide in Shadows, plus a Silver Earth Box, the Desperado Club, and the Naughty Boys Employment Agency.

Its steep Charisma-25 minimum forced most of Carl's stat points, and it demands a subclass choice on the sixth floor. Mordecai rates it potentially the best of Carl's options but the most work.

Role

Carl's floor-three class — a high-ceiling, high-effort trap-and-bomb build.

Relationships

Carl — The crawler who took it, betting on its rare skills despite its punishing stat minimums.
Escape Plan — One of its signature skills, granting Dungeon Locator access in lieu of a pathfinder skill.
Backfire — A prized skill it grants, letting Carl deconstruct traps for materials.
