Mage

Mages are the most versatile types of wizards, those who choose not to specialize in any single school of magic. This is both an advantage and disadvantage. On the positive side, the mage's selection of spells enable them to deal with many different situations. The other side of the coin is that the mage's ability to learn specialized spells is limited compared to the specialist's.

A mage who has an Intelligence score of 16 or higher gains a 10% bonus to the experience points they earn.

Only elves and half-elves may be mages; humans, while they may be intelligent, lack the innate connection to the source of arcane magic. As such, humans and other sentient races must specialize in a single school of magic.

Name Level
Mages gain no special benefits from building a fortress or stronghold. They can still own property and receive the normal benefits, such as monthly income and mercenaries for protection.
