Sorcerers and Hands of Mundus

[eggplanteye]

Hello, I recently joined the Hands of Mundus on my PC Samine Fryar, and she is a sorceress, Lotus allowed me to join. I noticed the faction store only has items that help wizards. Perhaps the items could be changed to help wizards and sorcerers, and the items that are specifically for wizards (such as the +2 int items), there could be on-par items for sorcerers too? For instance I have the initiate ring... instead of +2 int it could have +2 charisma... Just a suggestion for sorcerers that join the faction ^_^ Thank you.

The problem with that is the history behind the Hands and sorcs. They are extremely biased against those with the ability to cast magic naturally, and it's not very likely they would go out of their way to assist them.

In fact, expect a lot of noses in the air, and general dislike. Sorcerers are considered barely above scum by wizards in the Hands.

The Legion tends to have more sorcerers, as the Scholii take the 'rejects' that the Hands do not want.

There have been a handful of Hand sorcerers, but as has been said... they face an uphill climb for anything close to resembling acceptance.

As a heads up, mechanically, the PrC is locked to Wizard levels only.

Requirements
To qualify to become a Hand of Mundus, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.

Skills: Spellcraft 8 ranks
Feats: Empower Spell, Skill Focus (Concentration), Skill Focus (Spellcraft)
Spellcasting: Able to cast 3rd-level arcane spells as a wizard.

This is to keep in line with the relevant lore:

Foremost, both sides look upon sorcerers and warlocks unfavorably. These "naturalists", as they often refer to them, do not earn their power and as such are believed to be unworthy of membership. Often, these individuals are forced to subdue their own magical talents, in order to pursue magical studies with either tower. Rarely, even after such a sacrifice, is a self-chastising sorcerer or warlock accepted into the ranks. Each side has their own personal beliefs about those who are unwilling to limit their natural abilities, but none of them are positive.

There is some nice Legion gear for sorcerers, and plans for, one day, not today, not this month, but one day, of making a Scholli PrC that will be sorcerer only.

If you'd like to do a RP event later today where your character switches to the Legion, I can exchange the items you've already bought for their Legion equivalent.
