[QUOTE="jkason, post: 2648629, member: 2710"] With real magic being such a recent (and rare) addition to the setting, what about a frustrated stage magician? I'm thinking he's part of a family of traveling "magic" performers, whose act has been getting less and less interest as he's grown up. So he's spent his life training for a profession that the populace is starting to dismiss out of hand, which has given him something of a mad-on about the elves--though at the same time, he is himself drawn to the prospect of one day working "real" magic. Stats-wise, I'd be thinking Expert / Rogue, focused on things like sleight of hand (card tricks), pick lock / use rope (escape tricks), bluff (distraction is a magician's friend, after all), that sort of thing. I'd probably give him some Use Magic Device, too; it seems to be a skill that's all about pretending to be a caster, which is his forte, after all. ;) jason [/QUOTE]
