Description: The sorcerer uses the Will and the Word to perform magic. They build their will(PPE), utter
a word of phrase to focus it, any phrase will do, and the magic flows. They can not learn spells, more like
they learn how to do something. This is instinctive and they can only learn something from someone else
by watching them do it, and then trying to duplicate it. Like master psionics,
they are mostly human, they are simply capable of using their will to perform magic. Their powers
generally manifest as either the end product of years of tutoring by a sorcerer, or as a by product of
extreme irritation or frustration. Many of these untrained sorcerers don't survive more than one
second because their first spell is usually Be Not, and they are destroyed.
When creating a sorcerer character, regardless of wheather they were another
OCC previously, add a Bel to the begining of their name if they are male, and
a Pol to the begining if they are female.
Powers: 1. Sense Supernatural evil: same as mystic Range: 300ft +10 per level
2.Initial spell knowledge: They start out with one spell, usually a defensive or offensive one
since the talent usually manifests in times of anger or distress. They will gain up to five spells
during their first level, one every 500 EXP points. By second level they have their initial spell,
one Metamorphosis: Animal Superior, Bolt of Force, Send Shadow, Be Not, and one spell of
choice.
3. Gaining spells: They will gain five spells at level 2, four at level 3, and at each additional
level they will gain two spells. These spells will not be gained immediately after level
advancement, but only when they are needed. Then the player can select a spell that will get
them out of a fix. They can also gain Pallidium RPG spells, as well as Rifts.
4. Muffle noise: They can muffle the noise of 5PPE per level of experience. Just pretend the
spell takes 5 less PPE.

Note to GM: When dealing out spells, don't let them pick out their four right as they reach second level.
Wait until they need to do something they can't right then, then let them select the spell that will let them.
A level advancement doesn't mean they get new spells,
it means they have the potential to gain new spells.
