The breeze that caresses the face brings with it a cooling balm and
scent traces that trigger memories of old. The flavor of the fruit
plucked form the tree is tart but sweet, and the sticky juice explodes
in the mouth with a texture just as important as taste.
All it takes to become an ardent dilettante is a diversity of interests
and a moderate level of ability in a skill. Bards and rogues are the
most common among the members, but characters of all classes can find
the calling of the ardent dilettante to their liking.
