The way I thought about it was that He is so scary that the enemy doesn’t want to hit him. IDK, it’s not perfect. Like I said, it started as a joke

II discussed this archetype in the discord and they said I should post it here…so I decided to do just that. Sheet link will come later.

##Necromancer - Level 1

The most feared and hated of all spellcasters, Necromancers use dark magic to command the power of death and violate the minds of the living. While physically weak themselves, Necromancers compensate for their frailty with commanding personalities and the power to raise undead minions. While most necromancers are unrepentant villains who seek absolute power, there are many reasons why one may take up the dark arts. Thus, a Necromancer could just as easily be a tortured antihero who turns evil’s tools against it, or a curious scholar unconcerned with the morality of their magic.

This character Archetype revolves around the crafting and use of Extraordinary items instead of traditional attacks and banes and Boons.

This is awesome, and one of the best examples I’ve seen of using creation for something’s other than a cleric or other divine character. Good job!

Very cool build, however, I did want to point something out to you, and those thinking of using this build.

Craft Extraordinary Items II is something this character will not benefit from, at all. That WL 4 item, he can not build, b/c he does not have WL 4.

Mundane crafting allows you to build something even if you don’t have the WL for it. However, Extraordinary crafting requires you to have the WL to build the item.

This means you can only carft WL 2 items starting out.

Now if you do Craft Extraodinary I + Wealth, then you can craft WL 3 items.

Just wanted to give you and others the heads up on that.

Here is the feat info out of the core rules I am referring to:

Crafting an item still counts as an expenditure of wealth, so you must have a sufficient wealth score to purchase the item

I am aware of how that works. I am just referring to what his skill level allows him to craft. I guess that I should have made that more clear.

The term Witch usually comes with negative connotations, but this witch resents this. She hates black magic and all witches associated with it. I present the White WItch.

Because I can, I decided I’d try and make a Magical Girl. It practically built itself! Here was the results…

##Maho-Shojo - Level 1

A young girl with a pure heart, the Maho-Shojo, or Magical Girl, has been gifted with magical abilities to fight against the forces of darkness. Her powers may have been granted by a holy deity, benevolent alien, magical animal or any number of things, but regardless of their origins she must hide them from a world that would not understand them. As a result she leads a dual-life, maintaining her identity as a normal schoolgirl while using her magical starlight wand to transform into her spell-slinging alter-ego when evil forces threaten her friends.

So I’ve had this character for a while from old RP that I used to do and figured I would translate it into OL, Its core concept is that of a Fire and a Wind Elemental who have been forcefully bound together into a single suit of Heavy Plate armor, I expect it to play very tanky.

Tell me what you think, though the favored actions section was a bit too small for a few of the extras he’s capable of, though I’m sure this gives the jist of the idea! Also apologies if that was worded incorrectly.
