Possible Affiliations and Rivals
Commentary:
Urban Wizards are a common sight in any major Eldlandrian city. Most set up small shops, casting utilitarian spells for those who never learnt them or don’t cast them powerfully enough.
When necessary, the urban Wizard can do a lot more than they are normally called to do. For example, their spells and skill set mean they can fill in for detectives and supernatural investigators.
As the Urban wizard rises in level, they may want to improve their Ranged Training, especially if they want to save their Magic for non-combat tasks. They may also want to obtain better armour.
Notes:
* This character currently gains 6 Hit Points Per level (2+3+1), plus a one time bonus of +3 Hit Points from the Toughness Feat.
