{{ rpd:images:tome_of_mastery_item.png|Tome of Mastery }}

**Tome of Mastery** is a unique item that allows the hero to choose a subclass for their class, unlocking additional abilities and specialization options.

==== Function ====
  * **Subclass Selection**: Allows choosing between different subclass options when found
  * **One-time Use**: Each class can only select a subclass once
  * **Special Reward**: Often found as a boss drop or special reward

==== Availability ====
  * **[[en:rpd:tengu_mob|Tengu]]**: Drops a Tome of Mastery if the player has not yet acquired one and is not a Necromancer or Gnoll
  * **Special Quests**: May be found as rewards for completing special challenges
  * **Hidden Locations**: Sometimes found in secret areas of the dungeon

==== Subclass Options ====
Each class has specific subclass options:
  * **[[en:rpd:warrior_class|Warrior]]**: [[en:rpd:gladiator_subclass|Gladiator]] or [[en:rpd:berserker_subclass|Berserker]]
  * **[[en:rpd:mage_class|Mage]]**: [[en:rpd:battle_mage_subclass|Battle Mage]] or [[en:rpd:warlock_subclass|Warlock]]
  * **[[en:rpd:rogue_class|Rogue]]**: [[en:rpd:freerunner_subclass|Freerunner]] or [[en:rpd:assassin_subclass|Assassin]]
  * **[[en:rpd:huntress_class|Huntress]]**: [[en:rpd:sniper_subclass|Sniper]] or [[en:rpd:warden_subclass|Warden]]
  * **[[en:rpd:elf_class|Elf]]**: [[en:rpd:scout_subclass|Scout]] or [[en:rpd:shaman_subclass|Shaman]]
  * **[[en:rpd:necromancer_class|Necromancer]]**: [[en:rpd:lich_subclass|Lich]] (only subclass)
  * **[[en:rpd:gnoll_class|Gnoll]]**: [[en:rpd:guardian_subclass|Guardian]] or [[en:rpd:witch_doctor_subclass|Witch Doctor]]

==== Strategy ====
  * **Timing**: Consider waiting until later in the game to use it when subclass benefits are more impactful
  * **Class Synergy**: Choose subclasses that complement your current equipment and strategy
  * **Flexibility**: In some game versions, you may want to save it for a different character
