#33 Blue Mage
This Wizard learns abilities from monsters insead of arce tombs.
Mechanical Changes
Doesn't cast spells. To learn an ability by a monster make a spellcraft check equal to 10+creatures HD. Spell liek abilities cost a spell level equal to its spell level. Special abilites cost one third HD in spell level. Special qualities can also be learned. Thes take up a spell level equal to its spell level if it has a spell counter part. If it does not then it costs one half monsters HD in Spell levels. Spell levels mean that level of spell. To learn a green dragons breath weapon for a young adult dragon you would need a spellcraft check of 27, and a sixth level spell slot. To learn its frightful pressence ability you need a spellcraft check of 27 and a 8th level spell slot. All Dc's are as they were for the origan creature, they do not change for you. Each ability is usable a bumber of times per day equal to one fourth your Blue Mage level plus you Int mod. They also gain simple weaopn proficiency and a D6 HD.
Hows that look, roughly?

What abilities? Spell-like abilities? Supernatural abilities? Extraordinary abilities? Psionic?
The level of the spell like ability isone you could normally cast using wizard spell progression
I don't understand this. If I learn an ability, how do I know what level? If I am capable of casting up to level 9 spells, and I learn, say, how to breathe fire from a dragon, what level is it?
Interesting idea, but needs some work.
