And here's the Mage that I promised you folks - as promised, Wiccan Pacifist!

[ Spoiler ]


General philosophy here is that this is someone who's awakened and has been generally persecuted for their ability, until finding a coven of Wiccans who took him/her in and showed him the ropes. As such, big focus on defensive and detection magic, along with a reasonable splash of healing. The meta-game concession here is that this character is designed to be the team's astral warning system and defense against spirits/other magical badness, so some choices were made in that regard. Big Stunbolt user for religious (Pacifist) reasons, and only has Lightning Bolt to help take care of things like Drones and mechanical defenses.

Think that I pretty much pegged where I wanted to go with this one, and I know that I made a couple of inefficient choices (Bad Luck, no Sorcery Skill Group (but I really wanted Spellcasting at 5 here, so...)), but tear it apart and let me know what I could/should change to tighten it up around the edges. As always, feel free to try to convince me to change some of my inefficient choices by making better suggestions! I look forward to all of the feedback, and I look forward to showing all of you the whole team once this character and the hacker are through the tweaking process.

For the whole team post, I'll be jotting up short backstories (probably pretty similar to the one that the hacker and gunslinger already have) for each character, and a short backstory for the team for those who want to use them either as individual NPCs or as an NPC team, as well as giving my thoughts on swapping some things around for options (for instance, I wrote the whole team as Human, but there's no reason that it has to stay this way - switching several of the characters to various metatypes might actually be advantageous for the builds). Anywho, first things first - let's get this one ready for the show floor!
