[DF] Swashbuckler and Thieves and the Fit advantage

[Kromm]

To differentiate the standard professions a bit more. Scouts get it because of the healthy outdoor living; knights get it because they're tanks; and barbarians get it because both of those statements apply to them. Martial artists get it because all they do is perfect their body. Everybody else doesn't get it as a template trait, which mostly just means that it isn't something you can earn later with points – nothing prevents you from spending leftover points on it at the start, which is why it's on the Suitable Advantages list.

Generally, that's how DF templates work: Putting a trait on one makes it accessible with earned points in play. However, if the GM has no objections, then anyone with enough points left over (for whatever reason) could buy anything from Chapter 2 of DF 1. Templates mostly channel later development.
