I came up with this as a concept for a character in a PbP game starting up. "A former archeologist-type corp mage, someone who showed all the care and attention to discoveries and native cultures that Indiana Jones and Lara Croft do while bringing things (Paranormal plants, animals or artifacts) back to the company to be exploited for profit." He or she found something extra-bad and quit, before or after having it exploited, not sure yet.
Anyway, I'm working off of my Former Wage Mage setup from a few months back. I have 8 spells slots... what would work well for this kind of concept? Levitation (great utility spell, lifts things up, eliminates the need to climb) Extended Detect Magic (The best way to find magical things to pick up) Mind Probe (To get secrets from unhelpful locals) Heal (There are no Doc Wagons out in the bush) Stunball Mana Bolt, Power Bolt or Lightning Bolt (Not sure here... Something to affect targets that Stunball won't touch, and to have a single-target spell. Two spells would be better, but points are tight) Physical Barrier (A more useful defense and pursuit deterrent than Armor?) Mob Control (I just like it). Suggestions? |
