These Inclinations determine things like how aggressive your Pawn is or how likely they are to heal or buff you in combat. Picking certain Inclinations can drastically alter the way a certain Vocation will perform like Mages who have access to offensive and healing spells.

Calm \u201cRational, shrewd, and strategizing. A Pawn characterized by caution. Favours defense and evasion, employing clever tactics to survive at all costs.\u201d Calm Pawns play combat smart and will expend their effort on weaker foes that they know they can beat.

Enjoys exploring and gathering items, and is always up for a challenge.\u201d A Simple Pawn will behave relatively balanced in combat but their primary focus is on farming items and as such, they will break away from the party at times.
