A Pawn of Many Talents

Teach your main pawn a specialization using one of the blue specialization tomes - Forager's, Logistician's or Chirurgeon's - read from your inventory while your pawn is with you. These are bought or found around the world (the merchants in the main towns stock them); using any one of the three pops it. Handy anyway - Logistician's auto-uses spoiling items, Forager's gathers as you walk.
