SwordMagi

SwordMagi wield light and one-handed weapons and cast a limited selection of spells. Choose either a +2 bonus to Physical and +1 to Mind, or a +1 bonus to Physical and +2 to Mind. They can cast all 0-level arcane spells, and choose 3 arcane spells per spell level up to a maximum of 5th level spells. Once selected, those spells cannot be changed. Unlike regular spellcasters, they cannot choose one 'signature' spell for reduced HP cost. They wear light armor until 10th level, when medium armor can be used.

Microlite 20 Anthro Races

Contributed by Darth Cestual.

This list is based on the Gamma World 4th edition Base Animal Stock list and by no means complete, but does provide a wide variety of animal PC options. The animals presented here are assumed to be medium sized, unless stated otherwise, be of a general humanoid/bipedal form, and able to use most weapons and tools used by other human/demihuman races. Animals with the Aquatic mutation are considered to be adapted for land dwelling, and capable of surviving both in and out of the water. Other natural abilities will be listed as per Microlite20 Mutations.

High Magic Spell Costs

Microlite20 is aimed at being a low-magic (and therefore low-maintenance) rules set. The trade-off is that a Mage can cast lots of low-level spells (compared to a core D&D Wizard), but fewer high-level spells. This should be suitable for most styles of play, but if you prefer Magi to be more flexible at higher levels then change the spell costs by shifting them to the right.

Four By Five Magic

A variant magic system inspired by FUDGE Four-by-Five magic, Ars Magica, Harry Potter and the Belgariad.

Quote:

“My friend, magic is not stored in pretty book or scrolls. It is the power of the Will and the Word. Your Will take times to perfect and control; you follow your own path in it’s mastery. The Words can only be taught. There are only nine Words of Power, but they may take an age to fully comprehend their meaning. Often, the Will breaks before the Nine are found. Do you have the power. Well, do you boy?”
