Random Starting Ages for ACG, OA, UI, and UW Classes

[Crayon]

They're unnecessary and never really made sense, but for the sake of completeness, I thought it might be fun to allocate Starting Age categories to those classes that never received official ones.

My thoughts are

Arcanist: Probably Self-taught, maybe Trained.
Bloodrager: Intuitive.
Brawler: Self-taught.
Hunter: Probably Self-taught.
Investigator: Can't decide between Self-taught and Trained.
Kineticist: Intuitive.
Medium: Probably Self-taught, maybe Intuitive.
Mesmerist: Self-taught.
Occultist: Thinking Trained, maybe Self-taught.
Psychic: No idea...
Shaman: Leaning toward Self-taught, possibly Trained.
Shifter: Can't decide between Trained and Self-taught.
Skald: Self-taught.
Slayer: Self-taught.
Spiritualist: Intuitive.
Swashbuckler: Self-taught, maybe Intuitive.
Vigilante: Self-taught.
Warpriest: Leaning Trained, maybe Self-taught.

Thoughts?

It's tempting to throw everything into the lowest possible categories, of course. But this is my set of thoughts.

In general, first, a reminder of what CRB and APG classes are in each group:

- Intuitive: barbarian, oracle, rogue, sorcerer.
- Self-taught: bard, cavalier, fighter, gunslinger, paladin, ranger, summoner, witch.
- Trained: alchemist, cleric, druid, inquisitor, magus, monk, wizard.

So, grouping the others should try to keep these in mind.

1. Occult classes:

- Kineticist: Intuitive. Reinforced by the iconic being an actual child.
- Medium: Self-taught. Contrast oracles, sorcerers, or spiritualists, with regard to how a medium gains power.
- Mesmerist: Self-taught. I draw an analogy with bards here, with how they learn to leverage natural charm into mental magic.
- Occultist: Self-taught. Also by analogy to bards, though this is more about their interest in esoteric lore.
- Spiritualist: Intuitive. It's literally in the class description.

2. Hybrid classes:

- Arcanist: Trained. They start from the magical grounding of a wizard.
- Bloodrager: Intuitive, for the same reason as both of its parent classes.
- Brawler: Self-taught. They're fighters with a preference for short-range combat and self-developed martial arts.
- Hunter: Self-taught. Their core feature - their strong pet bond and teamwork - is found in cavaliers which are in this group. The spellcasting is 6-level spontaneous, so compare to the bard or summoner.
- Investigator: Trained. There's definitely a lot of things pointing to high education.
- Shaman: Self-taught, for the same reason as witches.
- Skald: Self-taught, for the same reason as bards.
- Swashbuckler: Self-taught. They're fighters with a specific fighting style and showmanship - or gunslingers who'd rather sword instead of gun. Either way.
- Warpriest: Trained, for the same reason as inquisitors.

3. Other classes:

- Antipally: Self-taught, for the same reason as pallies.
- Ninja: Self-taught. It definitely requires more discipline than a rogue, but I don't think it crosses into fully trained.
- Samurai: Self-taught. It would be trained, but they can start as ronin.

4. Ambiguous, because they can arise out of trained or intuitive:

- Psychic: They could be trained (in Vudra, Jalmeray, or Hermea for example), or intuitive (irradiated Technic League agents, ratfolk of Akiton, Erutaki dream-wanderers, etc.)
- Shifter: The class description heavily implies trained (as druids), but then also suggests that it can be intuitive: "There are many paths to becoming a shifter; most are trained in that role by druidic circles and have their powers unlocked via rituals of initiation. Yet some stumble upon the gift naturally, as if their blood bore the secrets of shifter transformation."
