Does anyone have any recommendations for any OCCs that specialise in using sword-type magic, ie a great blademaster that has some magic to do with his weapon style? I have the rules for the Blade Master (or was it Blade Mage?) from one of the Rifters books, but the player isn't too big a fan on those rules. This character will be for After the Bomb, so an OCC that isn't uber-powerful in a non-MDC world would be preferred.
Thanks folks.

battle magus is a pretty good combat-focused magic user.

there is a war mage in the rifter that's okay, but the blade mage has some really messed up spells, I wouldn't use it myself.

Re: Good rules for sword-wielding magic users
Greetings and Salutations. I made a Blade Caster O.C.C. about 15 years ago and they had specialized Blade Spells. Back then I tried different mechanics and rules to experiment and see what worked. Today I think it was off target enough that I didn't update the look or link it to my current site. If I were to redo the class now (and I may some day in the future), I'd do things differently. However, maybe what I did back then will help. Even if not exact, maybe something you can tweak or borrow from.
