While the Battle Mages closest comparison is the Warmage(complete Arcane), they still are not vary compatible. AdventuresAlthough the Battle Mage has many a spell, they use them strictly for combat and often are accompanying wizards on parallels dungeon delves.

Although they have all these spells (and can access them from early on), they lust for battle and only use spells in battle, for to cast spells outside of battle disgusts and revolts them, and its braking their code (although no one enforces the code, it is still held to for they don’t want to cast them outside of battle anyway, and never do).AlignmentAll Battle Mages love battle, and work their whole life to get better at it, some go mad and crave battle never stopping but to eat and sleep, but few do.

They pull their spells from all corners of the world, all the nocks and cranny’s, and do it well.A Battle Mage knows all their spells, and their spell list consists of all spells and all classes (Arcane and Divine), although with classes like the ranger and paladin, then gain there spells at the same level a member of that class would, i.e. level 4 for first level ranger spells, alignment restrictions still apply, and with deity specific spells are dealt with normally. Unless otherwise stated, the stat for a battle mage is the average between con, and int. The difficulty class (DC) for a saving throw against a Battle Mages spell is 10 + the spell’s level + the Battle mages stat modifier. Battle mage’s do not get their spells from a spell book, from their deity, or instinctually know them, instead they get there spells from the world, nature, plants, dirt, rocks, animals, magic creatures, humans, elf’s, gnomes, and anything else around them (although this dose not limit them). A battle mage has a limited number of spells he can cast a day. But he need not prepare them a head of time, he can only cast them in battle. He needs no components, verbal motions, or even words, only the will to cast it, although he still needs to wait the proper amount of rounds, he still need to make a concentration check when hit with damage, and pay xp requirements. A Battle Mage gets bonus spells equal to his stats modifier to each spell level he can cast. I.E. a first level Battle mage with a con, and int, of 16 gets +3 to spell levels 0-6, if he can cast 6th level spells, which he cant, so its only +3 to spell levels 0 and 1.A Battle mages caster level is equal to his Battle mage level, it is a separate caster level though, and does not stack with other classes. A Battle Mage can only cast spells in battle, and the spell needs to aid him in battle (note. This is only limited by the player’s imagination and the compliance of the DM, for it is the DM’s job to make sure they can really cast the spell). When making magic items (they cant make magic scrolls, wondrous items, only relics of there deity, and wands, although they can use them) they still need all the normal mats, although they can only make items with a battle use. To see if you can cast a spell, use the lowest stat out of con, and int. To recharge there spells they need the required races sleep ( E.G. 8 hours for humans). A spell cast by a battle mage loses it powers once battle ends (with minor exceptions like healing spells don’t lose there healing power, and the healed loses there hp), Its abilities are inactive until there next turn in battle, but the ticker keeps ticking off on the spells duration. At level 10 the ticker stops ½ as slow (so a 10 round spells stopped at five rounds, now lasts 10 rounds after battle stops, if battle resumes before ½ of the new timer is run out, then it reverts to the amount when battle ended).&nbsp; At level 20 the ticker stops outside of battle altogether (so a 10 round spells stopped at five rounds, now lasts until next battle, at which point it lasts 5 rounds into that battle). Starting back up at the first round that person has in the next battle. To improve a Battle mages spells a lvl in Battle Mage needs to be taken. A Battle Mage can not specialize like a wizard can.[code]&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; SPELL SLOTS&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; --------------------------------Spell level-------------------------------------------level&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 5&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 6&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 7&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 8&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 91&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -4&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -5&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -6&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -7&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -8&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -9&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -10&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -11&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -12&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -13&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -14&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -15&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -16&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -17&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 118&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 219&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 320&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4[/code]Skill mastery: Because of their specialty in battle, it improves beyond spells. When making a skill check in battle they are treated as having 1/2 rank’s in it. This bonus dose not discriminate between class and cross class skills. If it skill already has a bonus in rank, it dose not stack, but uses the better of the two bonuses. Round down.At level 10 this bonus increases to 3/4ths.At level 20 this bonus increases to having full ranks.Spell swap: If a Battle Mage chooses to do so, he can sacrifice a spell of higher level to get 2 of the level directly beneath, and vice versa, to sacrifice 2 spells of a lower level to get one in the level directly above, once changed though, it can not be mutated again, and this means it cant go more then one up or down. I.E. A Battle Mage needs one 6th level spell, and so sacrifices two 5th level spells to get it, or he can sacrifice one 7th level spell to get two 6th level spells. This is a swift action.Armor mastery: Because of their center focus on battle they have been able to learn how to use light armor in battle without spell failure. Although this dose not help other classes besides the Battle mage, because the battle mage uses not actions or movements when casting spells. At level 8 they learn to use medium armor, without spell failure.Magic Item Use: Because of there need for battle it also restricts what magic items they can use. As in negative feedback, a Battle Mage cannot use any magic items that do not have a battle use. That is, they cant use a +1 thieves tools, because it can not aid them in battle, although they can use a +1 short sword because it aids then in battle.Spell Resistance and Spell immunity: Because of their vast spell reservoir they know the nature of most spells, and so gain spell resistance and spell immunity to some spells. Spell Resistance as normal, except that it only applies to the said spell level and only until they are immune to that level spell. Spell immunity, is, as it’s name implies, they are immune to said spell level at said levels. Friendly spells excluded.Weapon Mastery: At level 6 the skill of battle flows through their veins, and so they gain Martial weapon proficiency. &nbsp;[/sblock][sblock= this it the tamed version, that is, without my house rules.]Battle Magethis it the tamed version, that is, without my house rules.Battle use: an item that is useful in battle.A battle mage is one of the most powerful mages out there.

They pull their spells from all corners of the world, all the nocks and cranny’s, and do it well.A Battle Mage knows all their spells, and their spell list consists of all spells and all classes (Arcane and Divine), although with classes like the ranger and paladin, then gain there spells at the same level a member of that class would (or you can compare the Battle Mage lvl as the Ranger lvl to see if applicable), i.e. level 4 for first level ranger spells, alignment restrictions still apply, and with deity specific spells are dealt with normally. Unless otherwise stated, the stat for a battle mage is con. The difficulty class (DC) for a saving throw against a Battle Mages spell is 10 + the spell’s level + con modifier. Battle Mage’s do not get there spells from a spell book, from their deity, or instinctually know them, instead they get their spells from the world, nature, plants dirt, rocks, animals, magic creatures, humans, elf’s, gnomes, and anything else around them (although this dose not limit them). The do not need any hands to cast spells, and so can use weapons and spells with no problem. A battle mage has a limited number of spells he can cast a day. But he need not prepare them a head of time; he can only cast them in battle. He needs no components, verbal motions, or even words, only the will to cast it, although he still needs to wait the proper amount of rounds, he still need to make a concentration check when hit with damage. A Battle Mage gets bonus spells normally.A Battle Mages caster level is equal to his Battle mage level, it is a separate caster level though, and does not stack with other classes. A Battle Mage can only cast spells in battle, and the spell needs to aid him in battle (note. This is only limited by the player’s imagination and the compliance of the DM, for it is the DM’s job to make sure they can really cast the spell). When making magic items (they cant make magic scrolls, wondrous items, only relics of there deity, and wands, although they can use them) they still need all the normal mats, although they can only make items with a battle use. To see if you can cast a spell, use the con modifier. To recharge there spells they need the required races sleep ( E.G. 8 hours for humans). A spell cast by a battle mage loses it powers once battle ends (with minor exceptions like healing spells don’t lose there healing power, and the healed loses there hp), Its abilitys are inactive until there next turn in battle, but the ticker keeps ticking off on the spells duration. At level 10 the ticker stops ½ as slow (so a 10 round spells stopped at five rounds, now lasts 10 rounds after battle stops, if battle resumes before ½ of the new timer is run out, then it reverts to the amount when battle ended). At level 20 the ticker stops outside of battle altogether (so a 10 round spells stopped at five rounds, now lasts until next battle, at which point it lasts 5 rounds into that battle). Starting back up at the first round that person has in the next battle. To improve a Battle mages spells a lvl in Battle Mage needs to be taken. A Battle Mage can not specialize like a wizard can.[code]&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; SPELL SLOTS&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; --------------------------------Spell level-------------------------------------------level&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 5&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 6&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 7&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 8&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 91&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -4&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -5&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -6&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -7&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -8&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -9&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -10&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -11&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -12&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -13&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -14&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp; &nbsp; -15&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -16&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; -17&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 118&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp; &nbsp; 219&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; 320&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4&nbsp; &nbsp; 4[/code]Skill mastery: Because of their specialty in battle, it improves beyond spells. When making a skill check in battle they are treated as having 1/2 rank’s in it. This bonus dose not discriminate between class and cross class skills. If it skill already has a bonus in rank, it dose not stack, but uses the better of the two bonuses. Round down.At level 10 this bonus increases to 3/4ths.At level 20 this bonus increases to having full ranks.Armor mastery: Because of their center focus on battle they have been able to learn how to use light armor in battle without spell failure. Although this dose not help other classes besides the Battle mage, because the battle mage uses not actions or movements when casting spells. At level 8 they learn to use medium armor, without spell failure.Spell swap: If a Battle Mage chooses to do so, he can sacrifice a spell of higher level to get 2 of the level directly beneath, and vice versa, to sacrifice 2 spells of a lower level to get one in the level directly above, once changed though, it can not be mutated again, and this means it cant go more then one up or down. I.E. A Battle Mage needs one 6th level spell, and so sacrifices two 5th level spells to get it, or he can sacrifice one 7th level spell to get two 6th level spells. This is a swift action.Magic Item Use: Because of there need for battle it also restricts what magic items they can use. As in negative feedback, a Battle Mage cannot use any magic items that do not have a battle use. That is, they cant use a +1 thieves tools, because it can not aid them in battle, although they can use a +1 short sword because it aids then in battle.Spell Resistance: Because of their vast spell reservoir they know the nature of most spells, and so gain spell resistance. Weapon Mastery: At level 6 the skill of battle flows through their veins, and so they gain Martial weapon proficiency. &nbsp;[/sblock]</blockquote>

[QUOTE="borble, post: 3593625, member: 49967"] I haven’t got the fluff and I am in the middle of a move, but I will get it up and soon. I posted this up to see what you guys though. NOTE: i dont have the time for formating, sorry will get that soon though. Thanks ben [sblock= Battle Mage] Battle Mage [b]Battle use:[/b] an item that is useful in battle. “Burn down that wall with a fire ball, Jooba.” Said seen, a 6th lvl fighter. “I cant im not in battle. But we can stay here till the orc’s come for their rounds, then I can hit the orc's with an Enlarged fireball, and aim so the walls behind it .” Jooba, a 6th lvl Battle Mage. A battle mage is one of the most powerful mages out there. But they can only cast spells in battle (with the exception of magic item making), it’s the biggest defining difference between them and all other casters. Along with their powers origins (con, and int averaged), and the fact that they pull there power with spells through the endurance (although some Battle Mage’s do divulge into other classes for the thrill of battle and the drain of energy from getting there spells can be to much some times). While the Battle Mages closest comparison is the Warmage(complete Arcane), they still are not vary compatible. Adventures Although the Battle Mage has many a spell, they use them strictly for combat and often are accompanying wizards on parallels dungeon delves. Battle Mages have a lust for battle and its what they focus on the most, and most of their powers do not work outside of combat. They have been known to fill the roles of healers, buffers, damagers; they can do all but be utilitarian casters. Characteristics A Battle Mage accesses his spells though everything around them, and dose not need to prepare spells ahead of time because of it, and indeed it takes a strong and wise caster to sift through the dead wood spells to find the right one when he needs it. Although they have all these spells (and can access them from early on), they lust for battle and only use spells in battle, for to cast spells outside of battle disgusts and revolts them, and its braking their code (although no one enforces the code, it is still held to for they don’t want to cast them outside of battle anyway, and never do). Alignment All Battle Mages love battle, and work their whole life to get better at it, some go mad and crave battle never stopping but to eat and sleep, but few do. They are often called the bully spellcasters, for just enough to be noticed pick fights, but the majority of them seem normal enough. For this reason, a War Mage can not be any lawfull, for they are just to unlawful, ruff, unpredictable, or don’t care. Religion Religion dose not make much of a difference for Battle Mages, and those few who do serve a deity don’t gain a preference by this class. Background Battle Mage’s, like pisonic, are born rather then made ( Although some learn from a mentor, that number is extremely low). The most common factor between all Battle Mages is their gift for spellcasting and their love of weapons, and indeed those who have eyes often can see it in children of vary young ages. Races Most Battle Mages are elvin, for they seem to have a knack at spells and battle (and go to the extremes a lot) more then any other race. A good portion of the rest are humans for they love battle or spell casting, and sometimes both (but half-elfs seem to lose the needed qualities of both races, and nearly none are Battle Mages). But those are not the only ones who can be Battle Mages, for there are Battle Mages among all sentient (smart) creatures who can cast spells. Other Classes The Battle Mage has a lot in common with all classes but the barbarian, which they find hard to tolerate for a barbarian is a hacker and doesn’t know what he is hacking, a Battle Mage uses her spells with grace and strength, and is always aware. But the classes they get along with best is the Wizards (for they have utilitarian spells, and help out and are always thankful when you take a blow for them) and the Good Clerics (for they may be befuddled by religion but are, all in all, vary polite and out of the way) and fighters (for they are always grateful for help, and have a knack for getting hit and distracting). Abilities Their main stats are constitution, intelligence, fallowed by dexterity and then strength. They use constitution for spells and for hp. Intelligence is useful for spells and skills. Dexterity provides initiative, ac, and works for many skills they use. Strength is useful for weapons. Class features Hit dice: 1d6 Alignment: A Battle Mage can be of any non-lawful, because of their obsession with battle is to chaotic. Starting Gold: As Bard Starting Age: As Bard Class skills: CLIMB (STR), CONCENTRATION (CON), CRAFT (only things with a battle use)(INT), DIPLOMACY (CHA), HEAL (WIS), INTIMIDATE (CHA), JUMP (STR), KNOWLEDGE (INT; arcane, nature, history), SPELLCRAFT (INT; TRAINED ONLY), USE MAGIC DEVICE (CHA) Skills points at 1st Level: (0 + Int modifier) x4 Skills points at Each Additional Level: 0 + Int modifier Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Battle Mage’s are proficient with all simple weapons, and only thrown weapons, and can cast spells with light weapons, and thrown weapons without hindrance. Battle mages get no armor proficiency’s through this output. MultiClassing: A Battle Mage can Multiclass easily, and a lot do. But a Multiclassing Battle Mage has a magical rule that applies. A multiclassing Battle Mage dose not gain Battle mage spell casting when he gets levels added to it without taking levels in the Battle Mage class (like a Prestige class, giving “+1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class”), they cant improve it at all, without direct leveling in Battle mage.

Unless otherwise stated, the stat for a battle mage is the average between con, and int. The difficulty class (DC) for a saving throw against a Battle Mages spell is 10 + the spell’s level + the Battle mages stat modifier. Battle mage’s do not get their spells from a spell book, from their deity, or instinctually know them, instead they get there spells from the world, nature, plants, dirt, rocks, animals, magic creatures, humans, elf’s, gnomes, and anything else around them (although this dose not limit them). A battle mage has a limited number of spells he can cast a day. But he need not prepare them a head of time, he can only cast them in battle. He needs no components, verbal motions, or even words, only the will to cast it, although he still needs to wait the proper amount of rounds, he still need to make a concentration check when hit with damage, and pay xp requirements. A Battle Mage gets bonus spells equal to his stats modifier to each spell level he can cast. I.E. a first level Battle mage with a con, and int, of 16 gets +3 to spell levels 0-6, if he can cast 6th level spells, which he cant, so its only +3 to spell levels 0 and 1. A Battle mages caster level is equal to his Battle mage level, it is a separate caster level though, and does not stack with other classes.

At level 8 they learn to use medium armor, without spell failure. Magic Item Use: Because of there need for battle it also restricts what magic items they can use. As in negative feedback, a Battle Mage cannot use any magic items that do not have a battle use. That is, they cant use a +1 thieves tools, because it can not aid them in battle, although they can use a +1 short sword because it aids then in battle. Spell Resistance and Spell immunity: Because of their vast spell reservoir they know the nature of most spells, and so gain spell resistance and spell immunity to some spells. Spell Resistance as normal, except that it only applies to the said spell level and only until they are immune to that level spell. Spell immunity, is, as it’s name implies, they are immune to said spell level at said levels. Friendly spells excluded. Weapon Mastery: At level 6 the skill of battle flows through their veins, and so they gain Martial weapon proficiency. [/sblock] [sblock= this it the tamed version, that is, without my house rules.] [b][size=5]Battle Mage[/size][/b] this it the tamed version, that is, without my house rules. [b]Battle use:[/b] an item that is useful in battle. A battle mage is one of the most powerful mages out there. But they can only cast spells in battle (with the exception of magic item making), it’s the biggest defining difference between them and all other casters. Along with their powers origins (con, int, and wis averaged), and the fact that they pull there power with spells through the endurance (although some Battle Mage’s do divulge into other classes for the thrill of battle and the drain of energy from getting there spells can be to much some times). While the Battle Mages closest comparison is the Warmage(complete Arcane), they still are not vary compatible. [Size=3][b]Adventures[/b][/Size][b][/b] Although the Battle Mage has many a spell, they use them strictly for combat and often are accompanying wizards on parallels dungeon delves. Battle Mages have a lust for battle and its what they focus on the most, and most of their powers do not work outside of combat. They have been known to fill the roles of healers, buffers, damagers; they can do all but be utilitarian casters. [Size=3][b]Characteristics[/b][/Size][b][/b] A Battle Mage accesses his spells though everything around them, and dose not need to prepare spells ahead of time because of it, and indeed it takes a strong and wise caster to sift through the dead wood spells to find the right one when he needs it. Although they have all these spells (and can access them from early on), they lust for battle and only use spells in battle, for to cast spells outside of battle disgusts and revolts them, and its braking their code (although no one enforces the code, it is still held to for they don’t want to cast them outside of battle anyway, and never do). [Size=3][b]Alignment[/b][/Size][b][/b] All Battle Mages love battle, and work their whole life to get better at it, some go mad and crave battle never stopping but to eat and sleep, but few do. They are often called the bully spellcasters, for just enough to be noticed pick fights, but the majority of them seem normal enough. For this reason, a War Mage can not be any lawfull, for they are just to unlawful, ruff, unpredictable, or don’t care. [Size=3][b]Religion[/b][/Size][b][/b] Religion dose not make much of a difference for Battle Mages, and those few who do serve a deity don’t gain a preference by this class. [Size=3][b]Background[/b][/Size][b][/b] Battle Mage’s, like pisonic, are born rather then made ( Although some learn from a mentor, that number is extremely low). The most common factor between all Battle Mages is their gift for spellcasting and their love of weapons, and indeed those who have eyes often can see it in children of vary young ages. [Size=3][b]Races[/b][/Size][b][/b] Most Battle Mages are elvin, for they seem to have a knack at spells and battle (and go to the extremes a lot) more then any other race. A good portion of the rest are humans for they love battle or spell casting, and sometimes both (but half-elfs seem to lose the needed qualities of both races, and nearly none are Battle Mages). But those are not the only ones who can be Battle Mages, for there are Battle Mages among all sentient (smart) creatures who can cast spells. [Size=3][b]Other Classes[/b][/Size][b][/b] The Battle Mage has a lot in common with all classes but the barbarian, which they find hard to tolerate for a barbarian is a hacker and doesn’t know what he is hacking, a Battle Mage uses her spells with grace and strength, and is always aware. But the classes they get along with best is the Wizards (for they have utilitarian spells, and help out and are always thankful when you take a blow for them) and the Good Clerics (for they may be befuddled by religion but are, all in all, vary polite and out of the way) and fighters (for they are always grateful for help, and have a knack for getting hit and distracting). [Size=3][b]Abilities[/b] [/Size] Their main stats are constitution, fallowed by dexterity and then strength and intelligence. They use constitution for spells and for hp. Dexterity provides initiative, ac, and works for many skills they use. Strength is useful for weapons. Intelligence is useful for skills. [Size=4][b]Class features[/b][/Size][b][/b] [b]Hit dice:[/b] 1d6 [b]Alignment: [/b]A Battle Mage can be of any non-lawful, because of their obsession with battle is to chaotic. [b]Starting Gold: [/b] As Bard [b]Starting Age: [/b] As Bard [b]Class skills: [/b]CLIMB (STR), CONCENTRATION (CON), CRAFT (only things with a battle use)(INT), DIPLOMACY (CHA), HEAL (WIS), INTIMIDATE (CHA), JUMP (STR), KNOWLEDGE (INT; arcane, nature, history), SPELLCRAFT (INT; TRAINED ONLY), USE MAGIC DEVICE (CHA) Skills points at 1st Level: (2 + Int modifier) x4 Skills points at Each Additional Level: 2 + Int modifier [b]Weapon and Armor Proficiency: [/b] Battle Mage’s are proficient with all simple weapons, and only thrown weapons (for ranged weapons), and can cast spells with light weapons, and thrown weapons without hindrance (that is, they whouldent stop them anyways….). Battle mages get no armor proficiency’s through this output (and cant use feats and such to aid in casting Battle Mage spells). [b]MultiClassing: [/b]A Battle Mage can Multiclass easily, and a lot do. But a Multiclassing Battle Mage has a magical rule that applies. A multiclassing Battle Mage dose not gain Battle mage spell casting when he gets levels added to it without taking levels in the Battle Mage class (like a Prestige class, giving “+1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class”) to stop over abuse of the powerful spell system, they cant improve it at all, without direct leveling in Battle mage.

They pull their spells from all corners of the world, all the nocks and cranny’s, and do it well. A Battle Mage knows all their spells, and their spell list consists of all spells and all classes (Arcane and Divine), although with classes like the ranger and paladin, then gain there spells at the same level a member of that class would (or you can compare the Battle Mage lvl as the Ranger lvl to see if applicable), i.e. level 4 for first level ranger spells, alignment restrictions still apply, and with deity specific spells are dealt with normally. Unless otherwise stated, the stat for a battle mage is con. The difficulty class (DC) for a saving throw against a Battle Mages spell is 10 + the spell’s level + con modifier. Battle Mage’s do not get there spells from a spell book, from their deity, or instinctually know them, instead they get their spells from the world, nature, plants dirt, rocks, animals, magic creatures, humans, elf’s, gnomes, and anything else around them (although this dose not limit them). The do not need any hands to cast spells, and so can use weapons and spells with no problem. A battle mage has a limited number of spells he can cast a day. But he need not prepare them a head of time; he can only cast them in battle. He needs no components, verbal motions, or even words, only the will to cast it, although he still needs to wait the proper amount of rounds, he still need to make a concentration check when hit with damage. A Battle Mage gets bonus spells normally. A Battle Mages caster level is equal to his Battle mage level, it is a separate caster level though, and does not stack with other classes. A Battle Mage can only cast spells [u]in battle[/u], and the spell needs to aid him in battle (note. This is only limited by the player’s imagination and the compliance of the DM, for it is the DM’s job to make sure they can really cast the spell). When making magic items (they cant make magic scrolls, wondrous items, only relics of there deity, and wands, although they can use them) they still need all the normal mats, although they can only make items with a battle use. To see if you can cast a spell, use the con modifier. To recharge there spells they need the required races sleep ( E.G. 8 hours for humans). A spell cast by a battle mage loses it powers once battle ends (with minor exceptions like healing spells don’t lose there healing power, and the healed loses there hp), Its abilitys are inactive until there next turn in battle, but the ticker keeps ticking off on the spells duration. At level 10 the ticker stops ½ as slow (so a 10 round spells stopped at five rounds, now lasts 10 rounds after battle stops, if battle resumes before ½ of the new timer is run out, then it reverts to the amount when battle ended). At level 20 the ticker stops outside of battle altogether (so a 10 round spells stopped at five rounds, now lasts until next battle, at which point it lasts 5 rounds into that battle). Starting back up at the first round that person has in the next battle. To improve a Battle mages spells a lvl in Battle Mage needs to be taken. A Battle Mage can not specialize like a wizard can.

When making a skill check in battle they are treated as having 1/2 rank’s in it. This bonus dose not discriminate between class and cross class skills. If it skill already has a bonus in rank, it dose not stack, but uses the better of the two bonuses. Round down. At level 10 this bonus increases to 3/4ths. At level 20 this bonus increases to having full ranks. [b]Armor mastery: [/b]Because of their center focus on battle they have been able to learn how to use light armor in battle without spell failure. Although this dose not help other classes besides the Battle mage, because the battle mage uses not actions or movements when casting spells. At level 8 they learn to use medium armor, without spell failure. [b]Spell swap:[/b] If a Battle Mage chooses to do so, he can sacrifice a spell of higher level to get 2 of the level directly beneath, and vice versa, to sacrifice 2 spells of a lower level to get one in the level directly above, once changed though, it can not be mutated again, and this means it cant go more then one up or down. I.E. A Battle Mage needs one 6th level spell, and so sacrifices two 5th level spells to get it, or he can sacrifice one 7th level spell to get two 6th level spells. This is a swift action. [b]Magic Item Use: [/b]Because of there need for battle it also restricts what magic items they can use. As in negative feedback, a Battle Mage cannot use any magic items that do not have a battle use. That is, they cant use a +1 thieves tools, because it can not aid them in battle, although they can use a +1 short sword because it aids then in battle. [b]Spell Resistance: [/b] Because of their vast spell reservoir they know the nature of most spells, and so gain spell resistance. [b]Weapon Mastery: [/b] At level 6 the skill of battle flows through their veins, and so they gain Martial weapon proficiency. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
