Gender: Female mages are rare.
Race: Any but ogre. Few anakim study
magic.
Disposition: Due to the rigor required to
master magic, most mages are ethical, though neutral
regarding morality.
Temperament: Mages tend to be melancholic.
Sociality: Nobility. Mages are usually respected,
though also reclusive. However, mages are
shunned, not respected, in kobold society.
Religion: Mages are equally likely to worship
a god or ignore the gods for their studies.
Skills: Bookbinding + 3, Research (Library)
+ 3, Spellcasting (Familiarity) + 3, and Symbology
+ 3.
Equipment: Mages tend to shun armor and
most weapons. Oftentimes, mages carry a dagger
or a quarterstaff. The most important piece of
equipment to a mage is their spellbook.
Magic Points: Mages begin with (38 +
1d20) MP and recover a number of points per hour
equal to twice their current level, thrice if asleep.
For example, a 3 rd level mage recovers 6 MP per
hour while awake. As mages advance in occupational
level, they gain an additional (38 + 1d20) MP.
MP’s are explained in Chapter 11: Magic.
Advancement Points: Mages gain AP by
casting spells, though not for trivial reasons. To gain
points, the casting of a spell must be done while in
dangerous, life-threatening conditions, or as a means
to an important purpose. Points gained equal the
number of MP expended multiplied times 3. A mage
must train to advance a level.
Training: 4 weeks. To train, a mage must
study new magical techniques and learn new spells.
A mage must train with a mage higher in occupational
level and the trainer must know the spells that
the trainee learns.
Guild: None.
