A really weird generic Job, the Calculator is VERY slow in battle and has to learn three skills before they can do anything at all. they use math magic to hit enemies for specific damage. they equip books for weapons and sport a whacked-out mohawk. But they always know what there doing in combat like a computer seeing ingenious tactic to overcome there enemies.

(there is no summoning of the grand summons like pheinox or Bahamit thou, this is also in rules thread). Summoners are usually very weak on most stats but there magic power is directly linked to their summon as they are beasts made of pure magic.
Trainers
Trainers can take on as many animals as they can handle but start with one or two, but animals can die in fights.

They look like kids with little visors. Incidentally, FF10's Lulu's best weapon was an Onion Knight doll.
Samurais
Samurais are a nice alternative to Warrior, with excellent attack abilities. They can also use good old Spare Change.
