[edit] Making a Mage Of Earthsea

Great caster with a good amount of hp and a versatile spell style. Week points include low ac and a small spell list and spells per day, Outside of a healer they are a party members best friend. For most Mage's of Earthsea care little for there fellow party members, because his love for the names of everything is much greater then what little he cares for the party. but on the other hand there are some who care for there companions very much even so far as to multiclass into healing classes(cleric, druid, paladin, ect..).

Abilities: Charisma, constitution, and intelligence are the most important. Charisma determines how many spells he can cast per day, and how hard those are to resist. A earthsea mage also befits from a high Constitution for special ability's and there special spell like ability's concentration checks. And intelligence for higher spellcraft because of the good amount of de-Buffs and skill points.

Races: Any (commonly human)

Alignment: Any (most are CN or N)

[edit] Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Earthsea Mage.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Mage Of Earthsea is proficient with all simple and martial weapons.

Earthsea Mage's are proficient with light armor but not with shields

Spells:A Mage Of Earthsea casts arcnae spells which are drawn from the spell list Below. He can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time.

To learn or cast a spell, a Mage Of Earthsea must have a charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The difficulty class for a saving throw against a Mage Of Earthsea’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the Mage Of Earthsea Charisma modifier.

Like other spell casters, a Mage Of Earthsea can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table Below. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Charisma score.

A Mage Of Earthsea selection of spells is very limited because they rely more on there name mastery, but the spell list offers the variant types that you Can Make(until this one is fished then i can start braking down and making the various types of Mage's Of Earthsea more specific). At each new Mage Of Earthsea level, he may gain one or more new spells, as indicated on table of Mage Of Earthsea spells known. (Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a Mage Of Earthsea knows is not affected by his Charisma score; the numbers on table of Mage Of Earthsea spells known are fixed.)

Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even-numbered Mage Of Earthsea level after that (6th, 8th, and so on), a Mage Of Earthsea can choose to learn a new spell in place of one he already knows. In effect, the Mage Of Earthsea “loses” the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least two levels lower than the highest-level Mage Of Earthsea spell the Mage Of Earthsea can cast. A Mage Of Earthsea may swap only a single spell at any given level, and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that he gains new spells known for the level.

A Mage Of Earthsea He can cast any spell he knows at any time, assuming he has not yet used up his spells per day for that spell level. He does not have to decide ahead of time which spells he’ll cast. Mage Of Earthsea's choose their spells from the following list:
