Peryton Energy Wizard: How many spells?

Unread post by thorr-kan »

Non-wizards get 4, +1 for an OCC Related Skill at first level. How many do the Energy Wizards get?

I've been over the section twice. I'm pretty sure it's there, but if you can see it and I can't, I'd appreciate a page cite.

I just looked myself, and came up with two possibilities. One, there was a mistake and the paragraph is missing from the book, or two, while the text is a little poorly written, it would seem that the Energy Wizards are limited to the same selection mechanic, but get a number of bonuses due to their training.

Oh good, it's not just me.

Alternatively (and I just saw this), "The following is a list of spells that are commonly known to Perytonian Energy Wizards." P46.

So maybe they know them all?

That is how I treated it but that is because of the 1st edition Sentinels book that gave them all the spells.

The former is far more likely than the later as the Energy Wizard just doesn't have enough skills to make this worth it.

Just don't go overboard with the sheer awesome power that possessing ALL of them conveys. That way lies Burak the Constipated* >>>>

*Or was he vexed because he DIDN"T have all the powers. and thus felt even further away from being able to do anything about his planet's little 'problem'?

"Trouble rather the Tiger in his Lair,
Than the Sage among his Books,
For all the Empires and Kingdoms,
The Armies and Works that you hold Dear,
Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

Let's go with, they get all of them, since it reads that way. There's also no mechanism for gaining more spells, which argues for getting them all to start.

And remember, there is no Burak, only Zhul!
