Jump to navigation Jump to search

Mage Wars RPG has no priest-class (although Clerics may be added at some point), so the Auramancer is a mage focused around restoring and preserving life. While other classes have some healing ability, the strongest and most useful spells belong to the Auramancer.

Auramancers are capable in combat but are primarily a magic/support class (the consummate "glass cannon"; players wishing to take a more active role in making things explode would be better suited to an Endo-Mage).

The Auramancer's work focuses around three key areas: healing, buffing, and crowd control. The bulk of this is done through the manipulation of auras. A powerful Auramancer can make aural-copies of the party, semi-translucent specters that distract the enemy and force them to attack the wrong way. Auramancers can also produce powerful, temporary weapon enchantments. Finally, they can generate wards that hold enemies back, giving the party time to regroup.

The Auramancer's most powerful ability is the anti-magic aura, which, at full strength, can render the entire party immune to spells. See the Auramancy page for more details.

Notes

In addition to spells, the auramancer will have auras.

having an aura active will permenanlty cap a cool down, and they can only have a max of 3 active. Cap aurmanacers at about 5 cool downs, so they can choose between casting lots of spells or having aurras

the pillar will modify the aura, as will the prof in aura

enchantments are another world entirely, we will only give the aurmanacers a few of those, but they can make them better.

Probably going to wait until i have auras and enchantents figured to do the pillars, but make some notes. basically, the pillars will imrpve them. auras eminate from the aurmanacer, enchantments are things they place(like walls).

Special

The core of the Auramancer class is based around the use of Auramancy. In order to do this, the character must have both special proficiencies Aura and Enchantment. The aura has an effect, but enchantment is required to make it solid.

Auramancy allows the Auramancer to bend and change their auras around their will, changing them to suit the needs of the moment. As a situation changes, the Auramancer is allowed to change his aura accordingly.
