Ye Olde Inn

I've been away from the sight for a while so I'll respond to any posts in my threads in the next few days. I just wanted to post these cards I've just finished. They're designed as mercinaries but they can be used as regular heroes as well by just giving them 5BP. If you want them to have random movement then 6 = the highest of two dice, 8 = two dice and 10 = the highest two of three dice. I don't know how much information, if any, to put at the bottom of the cards. Type (battle wizard/battle sorcerer/battle mage), race, spells, equipment, equipmemt restrictions and levelling up rules would be much too cluttered. I'm not sure how much they should cost to hire, I'm thinking maybe 500 or 600.

Battle Magicians have an extra defence defence dice due to their magic aura (which is included in their stats) and can use the same eqipment as the Wizard except that they can use Pole-Arms and one handed blades (axes don't count). Battle Wizards can't throw. Daggers can attack diagonally and quarterstaffs can attack diagonally and two straight squares away if the square between is empty.

Evocator. "A person who evokes."
Evoker. "A word made up by Wizard of the Coast."

Interestingly, if "evoker" was a word, it would mean "man who has to do with an evoke." So, in use it would be like: "Someone said my name, and I looked to see who the evoker was."

"-er" can often be interchanged with "-ary," with "Evocary" as the result.

Also, there is only a literal difference between "summoner" and "conjurer" when regarding this subject matter. For that matter, so does "invoker", "evocator", "invocator", and...nevermind.

Hmm, well I didn't get it from there. I've never played it or even looked at it. I might change it but I think evoker fits better with the other names, especially the enchanter.

"Evoker" does really just mean "a guy who just said somebody's name."

Fun Fact: TSR actually invented the word "mage" for AD&D.

Really, they invented mage? Well it really caught on then.

They also invented the term "longsword;" it was meant as a blanket term for many types of hand-and-a-half cut and thrust swords. Mage is short for Magic-User. They really did invent the following and their related concepts: RPG, Role-Playing Game, Experience Points, Psionics, studded leather armor and that's all I can remember atm.
