Humans, including ancient humans who still survive and contribute, are very much a part of this academic underground, and characters will be as comfortable around humans as around mutant animals.

Technowizard OCC

 

Techno-Wizard O.C.C.

The techno-wizard (TW) is the most unconventional of the magic occupational character classes. They are men of magic who have learned to combine magic with technology. Although the techno-wizard can cast spells and read scrolls, the focus of their magic is the creation of magic devices. The wizard has learned to direct his potential psychic energies into machines, enabling those devices to do strange and magical things that seem to defy known science. Many of these devices seem to only emulate existing magic and psionic abilities, however, they offer several advantages. One advantage is that unlike a spell that can only be spun by a person knowledgeable in magic, or a psionic power that can only be utilized by the psychic who possesses it, many devices created and empowered by technowizardry can be used by any one who has sufficient psychic or magic energy. This means that a fellow practitioner of magic or psychic can use a techno-wizard's machine. Another advantage is that people who are not psychic or mystically oriented can not operate the device at all. Sort of a built-in safety feature. For Example: Somebody who is not a mage or psychic can not fly a wing board or operate a TK-machinegun. In fact, to a normal person, the devices seem like worthless junk without any apparent power source or functioning internal workings. They do not realize that the operator of the device itself is the power source! Techno-wizards have taken the concept of a person being a living battery of potential psychic "energy" to its logical conclusion (or so it seems to them). Thus, they create devices that are powered by the individual's energy and directed by the person's thoughts and desires. The need for other energy sources is greatly reduced (not quite completely eliminated). A third advantage to using P.P.E. as a means to power devices is that the energy is non-polluting, non-toxic, odorless (except to psi-stalkers, mutant dogs, and supernatural creatures), and has no known ill effects on human life. A fourth advantage is that the devices are usually easy to conceal and do not often appear to be magic. Whenever the device is not in use, it does not radiate magic, because it is not currently empowered by magic. When the device is not in use, it is nothing more than a construct of machine parts and wires.

Techno-Wizard Psionic Powers

1. The techno-wizard has the following psionic powers: mind block, speed reading, total recall, and tele-mechanics (see the Psionic Section for descriptions).

2. I.S.P.: Roll 4D6 plus the character's M.E. number to determine the base Inner Strength Points. The techno-wizard is considered a minor psionic so he or she receives another 1D4 I.S.P. per each additional level of experience.

3. Saving throw versus psionic attack:As a minor psionic, the character needs a 12 or higher to save vs psionics.

Techno-Wizard Magic Powers

1. Initial Spell Knowledge. In addition to his techno-wizardry powers, the character has a solid understanding of spell magic and how to tap into ley lines and nexus points for additional P.P.E. The techno-wizard is not the master of spell magic the Ley Line Walker or Shifter are, but is still pretty capable. It is not a lack of understand89 ing in magic that limits the techno-wizard's spell casting abilities, but his orientation. That orientation is magic used in conjunction with machines. Consequently, his spell casting abilities are not the same as other spell casters. Spell Casting Penalty: All spell ranges, durations, M.D.C./S.D.C. and damage are half when cast as a spell or ritual rather than channeled through a TW device. A techno-wizard is primarily interested in energy spells needed to power mystic devices. The wizard spends much of his time building and tinkering with new devices rather than seeking out new spells. At level one experience, the character knows the following spells fundamental to his needs for empowering TW devices! Blinding flash, globe of day light, ignite fire, fuel flame, fire bolt, call lightning, energy bolt, energy field, impervious to energy, and telekinesis. At third level a total of three additional spells can be selected from magic levels 1-4. Note: Other spells can be used to create other devices. For example: Superior invisibility can be used to create a vehicle or suit that can turn invisible.

2. Learning new spells. Additional spells and rituals of any magic level can be learned and or purchased at any time regardless of the wizard's experience level. The techno-wizard's area of interest will first be in energy spells, followed by physical manipulation that can be applied to devices, such as invisibility, armor of I than, fly, talisman, teleport, dimensional portal, and related. The character is not usually interested in other areas of magic and never acquires summoning or circle magic.

3. Magic Bonuses. + 2 to save versus horror factor. +1 to save versus magic at levels three, seven, ten, and thirteen. + 1 to spell strength (the number others must save against when you cast a spell) at levels four, eight, and twelve. 4. P.P.E.: Like all men of magic, the techno-wizard is a living battery of mystic energy that he can draw on to create magic.

Permanent Base P.P.E: 2D4x 10, in addition to the P.E. attribute number. Add 2D6 P.P.E. per each additional level of experience. Of course, the mage can also draw P.P.E. from ley lines, nexus points, and other people whenever available.

Attribute Requirements: l.Q. 12, M.E. 12 or higher. A high P.E. and P.P. is also suggested but are not mandatory.
