The common recurring theme for the Scholar Job in the series is a military tactician who wields magic based around this. FFXIV's, although the fairies make it unique, was no exception according to Alka Zolka's translations.

The funny thing is, if you look at every Job in this game, pretty much ALL of them had some significant role in a military in the past, or still do today:

WHM & BLM - The overuse of both of these arts in warfare was what caused the aether flows to dry up, thus leading to the 6th Umbral Era.
DRG & MNK - Were/are elite soldiers of Ishgard and Ala Mhigo respectively
BRD - Is a Job designed around motivating soldiers in battle
PLD & WAR - Fighting is obviously everything to both of these Jobs

The only one that isn't very clear is SMN.

So that begs the question: If I'm RPing my character to be mostly an independent Adventurer who wants to fight for the greater good, yet isn't well suited personality-wise to being a "military woman" per se, is SCH actually a better fit than I realize, given that it doesn't really exist today and therefore isn't bound to serve a city state in the same way as a WHM or DRG would be?
