Job Specialization: Universal Devil's Advocate

Advantages: 1 point in Spit-n-Polish(focus: quality over speed)
3 points in Being Witty Enough To Avoid A Defamation Suit

Disadvantages: Fated Decapitation (focus: Bad Humor)

Equipment:
Non-magical staff of poking/thwacking. Usable as the start of a combo, indicated by "*pokepoke*" or "*thwack*".

+9 Pin of Witty Deflation - used to incite laughter and end bouts of increasing self-righteousness.

+3 Refrigerator - source of caffeination.

Lesser Mask of Chameleon - enchanted equipment given to all Universal Devil's Advocates. Allows one to argue contrary to any opinion. Disadvantage: May leave a slight greasy feeling on the user's soul after taking up opinions particularly contrary to one's own.

Abilities:
Bind Wrists - Primary use: lock a person into one argument during that argument's evisceration. Secondary use: Stops a hand from waving.

Stop The Music - Ends "Dancing Around The Issue". Forces opponent to get to the core of their argument now or back off.

Wall Of Text - Break down opponent's argument, sentence-by-sentence.

Lesser Power Word: "Verify Your Assertions" - Used after Bind Wrists (either form) or Stop the Music. Opponent must counter with some impregnable sources for this to completely fail.

Greater Power Word: "VAE VICTUS!" - Never used by name. Used in conjunction with Wall of Text. Use of VAE VICTUS is only seen in opponent's following post, which usually consists of "I'm taking my ball and going home".
