Cymrillian Warrior-Mage (or Zandir Swordmage)

A favorite character type in our group when we were playing 3^rd ed Talislanta was the Cymrillian Warrior Mage and the Zandir Swordmage.  So I’m recreating it here for DCC and it will be available along with the 4 human classes in the core book for anyone that doesn't roll a racial class on the occupation table.

Hit Points: d6 per level

Weapons: As Warrior class

Armor:  Warrior-Mages can wear any armor they can afford.  When casting spells the Warrior-Mages can ignore the first 4 points of check penalty. (i.e. When wearing scale armor the check penalty is 0!)

Action Dice: Warrior-Mages can use their action dice for attacks or spells

Spell Checks: Warrior-Mages add half their level (rounded down) plus Int modifier to their spell checks

Luck: At first level a Warrior-Mage may choose to apply his luck modifier to spell checks on one spell of their choice OR to attacks with one specific weapon type.  This modifier does not change if their luck score changes. Warrior-Mages can burn a point of luck to cancel a roll on table 4-2 the same way a dwarf or warrior can.

Occupation Table for Talislanta DCC

Any future funnel characters and non-funnel characters in our DCC game will roll on the below chart for starting race/occupation.  Starting gear is as listed for characters going through the funnel.

For non-funnel characters awesome players can roll once on the table below, other players can roll stats 4 times then roll 4 times on the above chart and take whichever combination of results is their favorite.   Starting gear can be taken straight from the 3^rd or 4^th edition Talislanta book for non funnel characters (because those are the hard copies I have on hand).

Any entries where the class is listed as racial I will be making a custom class for at some point.  In the meantime if anyone of my players rolls these than they can either help me make something up on the spot to playtest or reroll.

The entries with the * beside them are treated like humans for class choices but they each have a special ability or two:

Dhuna females can capture any man’s heart with just a kiss.  Treat this as a Charm Person spell result of 18-19.  A Dhuna female may have a number of men under her power equal to her personality modifier (minimum of one).

Mirin are immune to cold and take no damage from cold based attacks.  They can also bond with a mate for life and can instinctively tell when their mate is in danger.

Phantasians can Detect Magic by sight, they must merely concentrate to use this ability (no other actions allowed that round).  Treat this as a result of 20 on the Detect Magic spell, but the range is only 5 feet.

Sunra can breathe underwater for up to 24 hours and can remain out of water indefinitely with no ill effects.

Yiteks have infravision and can see in the dark up to 60’.
