Cthulhu's Librarian said:I'm interested in these three. Can you give me a bit of info on them? Whats different about them, other than the races? What does the Warrior mage get that the regular mages don't get? Which of these will give me the best overview of how the various aspects of the HARP magic system works?
F human warrior mage - she has some decent combat skills, including disarm, and utilizes a rapier as her weapon. Spells inlcude boost agility, boost presence, detect magic, elemental weapon:fire, and weapon's fury. So, she has a fair number of combat-effective spells, and most of those can be shared, so she can buff up others with her magic.
M gnome/halfling mage
Has some decent knowledge skills, and spells are arcane bolt, changing ways (change self), invisibility, mage armor, and shock. Decent with a crossbow.
M elf mage
No combat skills to speak of. Boatloads of mana. Spells are detect magic, light, fire wall, long door (dimension door), and passing (passwall).
I'd say if you are wanting a variety of things, the first one is probably the best choice. She's good with a rapier, is good with disarm (it's a separate skill) and has magic capabilities. "warrior mage" is a profession in and of itself, so the spells are unique to that profession.
