This is a pretty high resolution image, did you do this or get it somewhere? Do you have a link to more?

Hexenritter Verlag  I went back and read this again and wanted to make a few comments in the next few posts:

My setting the variant Magic-Users are more specialized and thus have certain abilities and restricted spells. But the common Magi has more spells and lack the special abilities than their specialized kin.

I like having the common Magi having access to more spells than the specialized mages and that the specialized mages gain special abilities but fewer spells. I would love to look at this in some detail sometime if you have a full write up that you would share.

They are adventuring Magi – they are of sterner stuff than their academic kin. They train at arms and study skills need to travel the wilderness.

I like making distinctions like this and also I can think of having fun when an academic ends up having to go on an adventure. That could be no end of fun and the cause of much laughter at the table if the players milks the situation.

[The Perilous Dreamer]

Though not as effective in combat as their Warrior-Magi counterparts they do hold skill in darts, daggers, spear and staff initially.

I also like this, although I would probably add a sling (requires practice from childhood). Is your dart the same as what I would call a javelin?

[The Perilous Dreamer]

Magi can be of any Alignment, though if Lawful and they use Chaotic Spells they have a chance of becoming tainted by chaos and losing access to Lawful Spells.

I like the way you have Chaotic Spells corrupt both soul and body.

ALL spells are tied to Law/Order, Nature/Neutrality or Chaos/the Infernal.

This is something that I think I will eventually switch too, I like this way of doing things.

[The Perilous Dreamer]

Most Lawful Magic-Users become Adventuring Priests, while Chaos Aligned Magic-Users become either Chaos Cultists or Infernalists.

More defined than just anti-cleric and much more colorful!

Thanks everyone, been awhile since I posted here and my OD&D Blog is on hiatus as I am working on developing my own TTRPGs of late.

As long as it is there, there is a chance you will come back to it, which is cool.

Very creative and a unique take.
