As someone with a high aptitude for magic, you were taken from your family at a very young age. Over the years, you were trained in the art of combat magic, learning how to quickly and effectively rend your enemies into two, extract information from prisoners, and assess the battlefield with a tactical and analytical mind.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose Two: Arcana, History, Nature, Religion, Medicine, Intimidation, Persuasion, Investigation, Insight, Perception, Survival.
- Languages: Two of your choice
Feature: Scholarly Appearance
Your natural posture and demeanor paint you as a calm and intelligent person, hiding the true nature of your skills. Most Combat Mages appear to be normal scholars, blending in with the populace. To the untrained eye, you seem to be a normal person, perhaps a librarian or a scribe. This may cause people to underestimate you, but also will grant you easier access into places of learning.
Suggested Characteristics
Combat Mages all come from different backgrounds, but generally fall into two schools of thought, either viewing their militaristic life as a gift or a curse.
