BATTLE MAGUS COMPLICATIONS
Battle Magi have trained for so long they have become
distanced from regular humanity. Their power makes them greatly feared and hated
by the Coalition.
Cybernetics: Such technology creates havoc for the flow of energy a Battle Magus relies upon, imposing −1 to the Spellcasting skill for each point of Strain.
Disconnected: Battle Magi constantly deal with the strange, alien, and inhuman. This makes them more than a bit difficult to deal with for the average person. The Warlock has a −2 Charisma penalty in most social situations outside of Dweomer.
Enemies: As with all wielders of magic, Warlocks are “shoot-on-sight” targets for Coalition forces. Those who break the oath fealty to Lord Dunscon may consider the True Federation to be hostile territory as well.
Vow: The Battle Magus is a member of the Dweomer Defense Force, he has a duty to the city, though, often Battle Magi are allowed to leave in order to learn and better themselves.
