You can get all three basic vocations and their starting skills and gear for free on both yourself and your pawn by exploiting the Hard Mode transition. Start the game on Normal Mode, pick any vocationand play through the game until you unlock your Main Pawn and choose their vocation. After the save completes, exit to the menu and switch to Hard Mode. You'll start the game at Cassardis and be given the option to change your Arisen. When you start your character, pick any vocation other than the one you first started with, and then switch back to Normal Mode once you're able. Again play until you unlock your main pawn and again pick a new vocation for your pawn. Switch to Hard Mode again and repeat everything else with the third basic vocation. Either stay on Hard Mode or switch back to Normal depending on the challenge you want to face. This is especially useful for getting a head start on multiclass builds. It also gets rusted weapons for most of the classes and some halfway decent starting armor for your Arisen if they're not the same vocation as your pawn.
