I like the balance of this one. It's an important choice at the start of a run, should be a noticable boost. Makes playing with friends more specialized. :)

I guess, if you are worried about balance I would say the urbanist is pretty op just from the ranged damage alone. 

I have been using this miner mod and I think this captures the spirit of one despite it being super simple only 2 traits https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/9776. He is designed to stay in caves for a really long time but is very frail and sickly.

@LumpyAcidFish Basically because I thought it would be too op if he didn't have that downside. Having used the +100% mining speed and double ore drops (due to a glitch with how the ore drops work), I can attest to how strong that trait is. Lore-wise maybe you could think of it as his experience lets him find and extract ore very efficiently despite his physical weakness.

why -25% melee damage he swings a heavy tool for his entire life
