Actually, almost, its no armour proficiencies and wizard weapons

Just checking, cause sorceror's were proficient with all simple.

[Thanee]

I use 3.0.

Nice.

But only Altanians may have it, nobody else.

Damn!

Next question(s). . .

Starting spells in the spellbook (those that are prepared), should I follow the same format as a 3.5 wizard for number of starting spells known. Are all 0-level spells known?

What sources can I use for spells?

Yeah, I know. A shame that, but Arcanists are the book-learning type, so I'm using the wizard's weapons. Some of the classes based on Rogues don't have all the Rogue skills either. Rustil works in mysterious ways

Now I just need him to find a Marksman to train under, or his dad was a marksman Hmmm, Arcanist 1/ Marksman 1, might work . . .

Yes, you can use the 3.5 wizard rules for the spells known (apart from signature spells) and you can use your gold to buy more spells. Because you're Altanian, you can take your automatic spells from either the PH, CA, or some other quasi-core WotC product that I'm not thinking of right now. You can also pick up more bizarre spells, like from the BoED, which characters from other worlds cannot necessarily do, but those you must pay for, instead of being automatic. Run any non-core spell by me first, and I'll usually say "Yes" to Wizards spells and sometimes says "Yes" to d20 spells (unless they're doing something I don't like like giving morale bonuses to Intelligence or something like that). Oh, and I guess I should have written this somewhere, but Altanians' mastery of sigils means that you can fit any spell on one page of a spellbook and save on the ink.

This spell thing where you have access to lots of different spells is your main world background benefit, so feel free to come up with some spells from odd sources. You might think there's a lot of magic items on Altania, but the Altanian philosophy on magic items is that the Arcanists like magic items, and they would be glad to acquire magic items, but taking the item creation feats makes them personally a less skillful caster, so few are willing to do so. Altania still has almost the most magic items though, just because every single person's an arcane caster so eventually *somebody* will make them.

Anyone who lives in Eldiz or moves to Eldiz and trains in one of their schools of ranged combat can take levels in Marksman (as opposed to Eldritch Infiltrator which only Dolathi can take), so you can definitely do that. I would guess that an Arcanist/Marksman would really be into Alvasis, despite the danger

 

[Rystil Arden]

Nice.

Heehee, did I almost set off your munchkn alarm?

I can't just let everyone have that ability; take a look at how absurdly high Alyria's save DCs are for Enchantment.

And remember, I did mention on page 1 that I unnerfed Spell Focus, so you can consider the second DC bonus from that to be from your own special little Spellcasting Prodigy feat that I'm giving you for free (although its not actually free of course )
