Mage

Tellah, iconic mage

"Reality is malleable. Nothing is impossible."

Hidden in the depths of reality, in places where surely no mortal mind was meant to venture, lie secrets: ancient pathways of power, hewn into the metaphysical depths by forces beyond mortal ken. However, with sufficient knowledge, resolve, and force of will, an individual can tap into these leylines and wrest forth their secrets, revealing powers capable of twisting reality to the wishes of he who tapped into it. Those who steel their minds and seek to map out the myriad twisting lines of power etched into reality are known as mages.

The leylines are not a science, and there is no rhyme or reason to their existence, nor are they predictable in their effects. A mage who taps a given leyline may unlock the ability to heal an ally, while another mage who taps the same leyline instead is able to summon forth lightning from his hand. The nature of the interaction between leylines and the individuals who tap them is a mysterious and unknowable interplay between the leyline and the mage; however, one common thread among all mages is the need to speak aloud their desire when accessing a leyline. The precise wording is often irrelevant; it is the intent that matters, and mages must be very clear about their intentions regarding the energy from a leyline before it becomes unleashed.

Tapping into a leyline is not dangerous by itself, but those who would wield the powers held within must gird their minds and use their own essence to unlock its power. An apprentice mage who has just begun his studies can tap into the simplest and smallest of leylines, while a master can command all but the most dizzying of them. The only vaguely consistent detail of the wielding of magic is the amount of energy an individual must put into a leyline before it unleashes its secrets at his whim: the energy patterns required by each leyline require the mage to make snap decisions with the amount of energy he devotes to a leyline, and brilliant mages are able to conserve their power, giving them significantly greater staying power, while dullards waste their energies summoning even the weakest of spells.

Mages are dangerous opponents. One can never tell what powers a given mage has unlocked merely by looking at him, and magic is a powerful force. With a mere whisper, a mage can mend bone, create pillars of flame, or summon otherworldly creatures to do his bidding. With such power, it is no wonder that mages are often feared: for the goal of many magicians is absolute power, and such power has a tendency to corrupt. While many mages work for the common good, many are all too aware that a mage who decides to pursue his own ends can rapidly turn any opposition to ash, or worse.

Game Rule Information

Mages have the following game statistics.

Force Alignment: Magic.

Force Resistances: PR 5 + level, TR 5 + level.

Abilities: Intelligence is the prime ability for the mage. With a higher intelligence, his mental fortitude improves, allowing him to command more magical energy, as well as access the deeper secrets of the universe. Each path of magic also requires another ability, however, and so mages cannot pursue intellect to the exclusion of all else.

Hit Points at 1st Level: 5 + Con score.

Hit Points at Each Additional Level: 5 + Con modifier.

Healing Surges: 6 + Con modifier.

Defenses: Fort +0; Ref +0; Will +4; Det +4.

Skills: Mages are trained in Arcana (Int), plus any four skills from the mage class skill list, below.

Diplomacy (Cha)
History (Int)
Insight (Wis)
Linguistics (Int)
Psionics (Int)
Research (Int)
Science (Int)

Starting Age: Moderate.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the mage.

Proficiencies

Weapons: Any three.

Armor: Mystic.

Implements: Canes, wands.

Spells

Mages are casters, which means that they make use of spells, expressions of power ripped from the leylines that metaphysically cross the material plane. As casters, mages must expend mana to cast spells, a metaphysical resource produced by the strength of his will and personal conviction. So long as he is not actively engaged in spellcasting, the mage's mana replenishes naturally over time.

Magic Paths
Path	Secondary Ability	Description
Artifice	Cha	Artifice is the art of manipulating magical energies and binding them to items, or otherwise manipulating the magics inherent in objects.
Conjury	Wis	Conjurations heal creatures, weave protections of both physical and magical natures, and can conjure obstructions and barriers.
Malediction	Cha	Maledictions are baleful magics, impeding creatures or harming them in subtle ways, or even calling forth the dead.
Sorcery	Brv	Vulgar magics, sorceries are powerful but obvious, with a wide variety of effects with clear applications.
Thaumaturgy	Brv	Thaumaturgy deals with the direct manipulation of energies and the elements, giving the mage command over the forces of nature.
Wizardry	Wis	Subtle magics, wizardry is an art, one whose effects are incredibly varied, which often require clever thinking to utilize to their fullest.

Spells are a combination of the mage's will to modify the world and the power imparted by accessing leylines; as such, so long as the mage has sufficient mana to fuel the spell, it will always function. The mana, minimum Intelligence, and minimum secondary ability needed to use a spell are indicated on the table to the right.

Spell Stats by Grade
Grade	Minimum Intelligence	Minimum Secondary Ability	Mana Cost
Initiate	11	10	1
Apprentice	14	11	4
Journeyman	17	12	9
Adept	20	13	16
Master	23	14	25
Archmage	26	16	36

The mage has an amount of mana at his disposal based upon his caster level, per the class table, above.

Although casting spells is mentally taxing, the mage's mana naturally replenishes over time. At the end of any turn on which he does not cast a spell, the mage regains mana equal to his refresh rate, found on the class table, above.

The mage begins with four known spells. He gains knowledge of additional spells each level, as per the class table, above. At fourth level and every four levels after, he can trade out up to two spells for new spells from any path he can access.

If you would gain access to a path, you can choose to instead gain a bonus feat, which must be a feat for which you qualify. If you would gain access to a path and already have access to six paths, you gain a bonus feat instead.

The mage's key ability for his magical attacks is his Intelligence; if his secondary ability score for the spell's path is greater than his Intelligence, he can use that instead (for instance, if you have a 16 Int and an 18 Wis, you can use your Wisdom for magical attacks made with Conjury spells).

Many magic spells also have secondary effects that depend upon resonance. Your resonance value for a given spell is equal to your ability modifier for the spell's path's secondary ability. When you make a magical attack, if you hit by an amount equal to your resonance value or less, or if you miss by an amount equal to your resonance value or less, the target suffers the spells' resonance effect. Note that only spells that call for a magical attack use resonance.

Arcane Senses

One of the first skills a budding mage develops is the ability to see beyond reality, attuning their senses to the leylines and metaphysics that inform and shape physical existence.

You automatically learn the arcanic language.

In addition, when you look at a creature, you can spend a swift action to detect any and all status boons and ailments that creature is currently affected by.

Leyline Manipulation

Mages are not content to simply take power they are given access to: part of being a mage is learning to wrest every ounce of magic from leylines and twist it to your advantage, commanding reality to obey your whims.

At second, fourth, sixth, and eighth levels, you gain a bonus feat. You can only spend this bonus feat on acquiring [Metamagic] feats.

Mage Talent

At tenth level, and every two levels thereafter, the mage's understanding of the arcane deepens. He may select one of the following talents.

▶ Channel

As a swift action, you can spend any number of hit points. You gain temporary mana equal to half the amount of hit points you sacrificed, rounded down. Temporary mana lasts for 1 round per point of Intelligence modifier you have, and can put you over your maximum mana.

▶ Doublecast

You can, as a full-round action, cast two spells simultaneously, provided neither spell has a casting time of longer than one standard action. The combined mana cost of the two spells can be no greater than double your level.

▶ Quadramagic

Prerequisites: Doublecast

You can, as a full-round action, cast four spells simultaneously, provided none of the spells has a casting time of longer than one standard action. The combined mana cost of the four spells can be no greater than triple your level.

▶ Wish

Prerequisites: Mage level 16th+

You gain knowledge of the wish spell.

▶ Feat

The mage may gain a bonus feat in place of a talent.

Design Notes

June 12, 2016: Not a complete redesign, but quite close.

Keeping in mind our focus on making resources encounter-based, rather than daily, mages now refresh their mana by a rate of 10% of their maximum on any turn in which they do not cast a spell.

Feb 26, 2017: t20 v4.

 : ''"Reality is malleable. Nothing is impossible."''
-Hidden in the depths of reality, in places where surely no mortal mind was meant to venture, lie secrets: ancient pathways of power, hewn into the metaphysical depths by forces beyond mortal ken. Some of these pathways are accessible only by strange words in alien tongues; some, by bizarre hand gestures; and yet others are unlocked by the combining of seemingly innocuous materials. When a pathway's methods are invoked, the mind calling upon it fills with a sudden surge of energy and knowledge - and the ability to modify the world in some fashion.
+Hidden in the depths of reality, in places where surely no mortal mind was meant to venture, lie secrets: ancient pathways of power, hewn into the metaphysical depths by forces beyond mortal ken. However, with sufficient knowledge, resolve, and force of will, an individual can tap into these leylines and wrest forth their secrets, revealing powers capable of twisting reality to the wishes of he who tapped into it. Those who steel their minds and seek to map out the myriad twisting lines of power etched into reality are known as mages.
-These "short-cuts" in reality are the purview of the mage. By studying these pathways, he gains access to abilities that change and modify the world at his whim. By constantly exercising his mind, he expands his ability to handle the rush of power that comes with the unlocking of these metaphysical leylines, and can plumb their depths for greater and more expansive ways to modify reality.
+The leylines are not a science, and there is no rhyme or reason to their existence, nor are they predictable in their effects. A mage who taps a given leyline may unlock the ability to heal an ally, while another mage who taps the same leyline instead is able to summon forth lightning from his hand. The nature of the interaction between leylines and the individuals who tap them is a mysterious and unknowable interplay between the leyline and the mage; however, one common thread among all mages is the need to speak aloud their desire when accessing a leyline. The precise wording is often irrelevant; it is the intent that matters, and mages must be very clear about their intentions regarding the energy from a leyline before it becomes unleashed.
-Knowing that these short-cuts in reality exist, and even how to unlock them, is insufficient to using them: a mortal must be mentally prepared for the rush of energy in the mind upon their unlocking, and understand how to put that power to use. Mages dedicate themselves to the study of these methods.
+Tapping into a leyline is not dangerous by itself, but those who would wield the powers held within must gird their minds and use their own essence to unlock its power. An apprentice mage who has just begun his studies can tap into the simplest and smallest of leylines, while a master can command all but the most dizzying of them. The only vaguely consistent detail of the wielding of magic is the amount of energy an individual must put into a leyline before it unleashes its secrets at his whim: the energy patterns required by each leyline require the mage to make snap decisions with the amount of energy he devotes to a leyline, and brilliant mages are able to conserve their power, giving them significantly greater staying power, while dullards waste their energies summoning even the weakest of spells.
+Mages are dangerous opponents. One can never tell what powers a given mage has unlocked merely by looking at him, and magic is a powerful force. With a mere whisper, a mage can mend bone, create pillars of flame, or summon otherworldly creatures to do his bidding. With such power, it is no wonder that mages are often feared: for the goal of many magicians is absolute power, and such power has a tendency to corrupt. While many mages work for the common good, many are all too aware that a mage who decides to pursue his own ends can rapidly turn any opposition to ash, or worse.

+Mages are casters, which means that they make use of ''spells'', expressions of power ripped from the leylines that metaphysically cross the material plane. As casters, mages must expend ''mana'' to cast spells, a metaphysical resource produced by the strength of his will and personal conviction. So long as he is not actively engaged in spellcasting, the mage's ''mana'' replenishes naturally over time.
-A character whose first level is taken in mage receives the maximum result for his mana die (just as he receives the maximum result for hit points). A character who multiclasses into mage after first level rolls his mana die as normal.

-Spells are divided into ten categories, called ''paths''; these groupings are relevant to your ability to access spells.
+The mage has an amount of ''mana'' at his disposal based upon his caster level, per the class table, above.
-In addition, in order to cast a spell, you must have a minimum Intelligence score, based upon the grade of the spell.
+Although casting spells is mentally taxing, the mage's ''mana'' naturally replenishes over time. At the end of any turn on which he does not cast a spell, the mage regains ''mana'' equal to his ''refresh rate'', found on the class table, above.
- '''Initiate   :''' 11
+The mage begins with four known spells. He gains knowledge of additional spells each level, as per the class table, above. At fourth level and every four levels after, he can trade out up to two spells for new spells from any path he can access.
- '''Apprentice :''' 13
- '''Journeyman :''' 15
- '''Adept      :''' 17
- '''Master     :''' 19
-At first level, you know a number of Initiate spells equal to 4 + your Intelligence modifier, and a number of Apprentice spells equal to 2 + your Intelligence modifier. You can select spells from either of your ruling paths (see below).
+If you would gain access to a path, you can choose to instead gain a bonus feat, which must be a feat for which you qualify. If you would gain access to a path and already have access to six paths, you gain a bonus feat instead.
-Each time you gain a level, you automatically learn a number of spells equal to your Intelligence modifier. At least one of these spells must be from one of your ruling paths, and no more than one can be from your inferior path.
+The mage's ''key ability'' for his ''magical attacks'' is his Intelligence; if his secondary ability score for the spell's path is greater than his Intelligence, he can use that instead (for instance, if you have a 16 Int and an 18 Wis, you can use your Wisdom for ''magical attacks'' made with Conjury spells).
-'''Paths:''' Upon beginning his training, the mage finds a certain affinity for certain paths over others. This could be due to any number of factors, such as a metaphysical leyline for some paths crossing over his hometown, or simply having a preference for some over others.
+Many magic spells also have secondary effects that depend upon ''resonance''. Your resonance value for a given spell is equal to your ability modifier for the spell's path's secondary ability. When you make a ''magical attack'', if you hit by an amount equal to your resonance value or less, or if you miss by an amount equal to your resonance value or less, the target suffers the spells' resonance effect. Note that only spells that call for a ''magical attack'' use resonance.
-When you take your first level in mage, you must select two paths as your ''ruling paths'', and one path as your ''inferior path''. All other paths become your ''common paths''. Your studies begin solely in your ruling paths, but you gradually learn to branch out into your common paths; eventually, you learn the basics of your inferior path, but never to the strength of your other paths.

+One of the first skills a budding mage develops is the ability to see beyond reality, attuning their senses to the leylines and metaphysics that inform and shape physical existence.

+Mages are not content to simply take power they are given access to: part of being a mage is learning to wrest every ounce of magic from leylines and twist it to your advantage, commanding reality to obey your whims.
+At second, fourth, sixth, and eighth levels, you gain a bonus feat. You can only spend this bonus feat on acquiring [Metamagic] feats.

+At tenth level, and every two levels thereafter, the mage's understanding of the arcane deepens. He may select one of the following talents.

+As a swift action, you can spend any number of hit points. You gain temporary mana equal to half the amount of hit points you sacrificed, rounded down. Temporary mana lasts for 1 round per point of Intelligence modifier you have, and can put you over your maximum mana.

-'''Arcane Implement:''' At first level, the mage chooses a particular implement to assist him as a mental focus. Some implements serve as a receptacle for arcane power, allowing the mage to draw mana from it when the need is dire; others grant the mage benefits when using spells of certain paths.

-The three types of implements are tomes, staffs, and orbs.
+&nbsp;
-* '''Tomes:''' The mage maintains a tome, into which he writes arcane formulae and other notation that better allow him to keep track of his mystic education. A tome made to be an implement, however, becomes more than just a journal or notebook: a tome grants a mage greater versatility with his magic.
+==Malediction Path==
-** ''Arcane Insights:'' The magic inherent in a tome allow the mage to cross-reference his knowledge and make deeper insights as his knowledge of the nature of magic improves. Each time you gain a mage level, you learn an additional two spells, which can be from any path you can access. If you select this implement as your first implement, you may select 6 + your Intelligence modifier Initiate spells, and 4 + your Intelligence modifier Apprentice spells.
+Words.
-** ''Mystic Writings:'' You can choose to imbue a spell written into your tome with magical energy, costing mana equal to the spell's mana cost and taking one hour per grade of the spell. If you have done so, you may, as a full-round action, when wielding a tome, cast such a spell directly from the tome. Doing so costs you no mana; however, the spell is burned out of the tome (it can be written into it again if you so choose). Casting a spell in this manner changes none of the spell's parameters other than its casting time and mana cost. You cannot augment a spell cast this way with metamagic feats.
-** ''Evidence Yields Truth:'' If you maintain a tome, when you witness a spell cast of a path and grade you can access and know at least one spell from that path, you can attempt to learn the spell by studying what you personally have learned and cross-referencing it with your experience. Doing so requires an hour per grade of the spell, and the base Spellcraft DC to learn a spell in this manner is 25. If the check succeeds, you successfully learn the spell.
-* '''Staffs:''' The mage carries a staff, a symbol of his position as a mage that demands respect. A staff imbued to become an implement, however, becomes a font of magical power.
-** ''Arcane Symbol:'' The staff is the traditional symbol of wielders of the arcane, primarily because the imbuing process for staffs enables their carriers to access expressions of magic not accessible to other mages. The mage gains access to the noted additional effects under ''expressions of magic''.
-** ''Release Power:'' A staff may be broken, releasing any magical energy it stores. Breaking a staff is a standard action, and deals 1d6/caster level points of arcane damage to all creatures within 30 feet (Reflex save DC 10 + mage's caster level for half damage), including the mage. A staff broken in this manner cannot be repaired, and the mage must attune himself to a new staff if he wishes to benefit from such an implement.
-* '''Orbs:''' The mage wields an orb, an entrancing and often mystical object. Imbued as an implement, the orb becomes a receptacle for arcane power.
-** ''Mana Receptacle:'' As a swift action, you may transfer mana freely between yourself and an orb you wield. An orb can hold no more mana than your caster level + Intelligence modifier. Mana stored in an orb remains until used.
-** ''Locus of Concentration:'' The nature of an orb allows a mage using one to focus more intently on forming magical energies. When you cast a spell and are wielding an orb, you can increase the casting time of a spell by one step; if you do, you automatically succeed at Concentration checks to cast defensively, and gain a bonus to Concentration checks to avoid spell disruption equal to your caster level + Intelligence modifier. However, due to your intense concentration, you are considered flat-footed until the beginning of your next turn.
-'''Expressions of Magic (Sp):''' As a mage, you are able to produce a number of minor magical effects, provided you have at least 1 mp remaining.

 =Design Notes=
-I am mildly unhappy with the paths. In particular, time and space are mighty impinging on the epochent's shtick. I am also uncertain that I am happy with the breakdown. I'd like to return to the nine-school setup of standard magic, reallocating the various spells into the original schools.
+'''June 12, 2016:''' Not a complete redesign, but quite close.
-In general, the mage will seem significantly less powerful than the wizard. This is most likely due to a removal of a significant number of spells - part of the idea here is to cull magic down into something that isn't "do everything ever," so that there are actual niches among Force-using classes.
+Keeping in mind our focus on making resources encounter-based, rather than daily, mages now refresh their mana by a rate of 10% of their maximum on any turn in which they do not cast a spell.
-The end goal is that the mage will be on-par with other Force-using classes, rather than the wizard being utterly ridiculous in comparison to everyone else.
+'''Feb 26, 2017:''' t20 v4.
-Aside from the paths, I'm pretty happy with the mage so far. Making them point-based is something I've wanted to do for awhile, since spell slots per RAW are... clunky. Rolling randomly for mana points makes it interesting, and in keeping with the theme of the Reality forces (which all have a random element in their usage). The maths for mana seems to work out such that even getting really screwed on mana rolls won't make you useless, provided you have a reasonably high Int; since SAD is in effect here, that shouldn't be an issue.
+ Initiate	AW
+ Apprentice	1E, 1D
+ Journeyman	3E, 5D, 7E, 9D
+ Adept		13E, 15D, 17E, 19D
+ Master		23E, 25D, 27E, 29D
-'''15/03/20:''' We're going to the d20 school setup. I need to write up some spells since one of the main antagonists for the upcoming game is a mage, and we need to know what she is capable of.
+{{Class_Breadcrumb}}
-Also... these spell tables are madness. Need to tone that shit right the hell down, because that's just crazy. I don't know why I thought that would be a good idea... we'll have a separate section for each path, then divide the spells into grades. Because that's actually sane.
