[QUOTE="Abisashi, post: 4626362, member: 15334"] [b]Tarot Arcana[/b] I've been planning since this was announced and writing for several days, so I guess I should announce myself. Here's the very rough draft of my introductory paragraph: I've wanted to make a system of magic using tarot cards for years. As I plan it right now, starting PCs will be on par with the average person (depending on training), not counting magic. Magic totally outstrips mundane alternatives in those areas in which it can be used, and I am assuming all PCs are mages (at least to some degree).

By the time a mage reaches immortality, even if he has never studied sword fighting, he would be the equal of a master of the sword; if the mage has mastered the sword, he could go through hordes of well-trained guards like a hot knife through butter. That said, a few lucky hits could spell the end of even the greatest mage, so they tend to be careful. One thing I am doing that seems different from several people is that my magic system will be very restrictive; there are only a few spells (probably 22, many of which are closely held secrets or lost knowledge), though there will be lots of variation depending on which tarot cards are in your spell spread.
