CLASSES AND PRESTIGE CLASSES OF FINAL FANTASY

BERSERKER

A Berserker is a warrior who fights battles in an unbridled rage, and is thus vicious but uncontrollable. Berserkers characteristically dress in animal skins, much like the classic Norse Berserkers. In most games, the Berserker has access only to physical attacks is not directly controlled by the player, simply attacking enemies automatically on each battle turn. The character Umaro from Final Fantasy VI (whose class is given as Sasquatch in the Japanese language version and as Yeti in the North American version) is analogous to the Berserker class. Vincent Valentine's Limit Break Ability in Final Fantasy VII gives him berserker traits. Berserker is present as a class in Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy X-2.

Many Final Fantasy games include the spell "Berserk", or some other equivalent ability, which can be used to mimic the characteristics of the berserker class (that is, the target gains increased physical strength and sometimes speed, but becomes uncontrollable and can use only physical attacks).

Game Considerations: Stock Barbarian class, with stock abilities. Rage now also has the added effect of a Haste spell for it's duration.

BARD/DANCER

Bards in the Final Fantasy series use songs to cause effects, often strengthening the party or weakening the opposition through temporary stat reduction. They generally equip harps as weapons, which vary in strength from game to game. Moreover, some Bard incarnations, including Edward Chris von Muir from Final Fantasy IV, have the ability to hide from the enemy. This command is mainly inserted due to the Bard's low physical abilities. The attempted insult "You spoony bard!" from Final Fantasy IV is often parodied in Internet Culture, particularly among Final Fantasy fans. A variation of the class, the Dancer uses special dances to cause status effects or damage to all enemies on a battle field. Other variations include types of Moogles, Songstresses, and various members of royalty. Bards are the most desirable class for experience parties in Final Fantasy XI because of their MP regeneration songs as well as their stat boosting songs. The Bard class is seen in Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy V along with Dancer, Final Fantasy XI, and Final Fantasy X-2 as the Songstress. In Final Fantasy Tactics Bard and Dancer are the only male and female (respectively) unique classes. Edward from Final Fantasy IV is characterized as a Bard, while Mog from Final Fantasy VI has the Dance ability.

Alignment: Any nonlawful.

Hit Die: d8.

Class Skills

The bard’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Appraise (Int), Balance (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Disguise (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Gather Information (Cha), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge (all skills, taken individually) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Perform (Cha), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Sleight of Hand (Dex), Speak Language (n/a), Spellcraft (Int), Swim (Str), Tumble (Dex), and Use Magic Device (Cha).

Skill Points at 1st Level: (6 + Int modifier) x4.

Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 6 + Int modifier.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the bard.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A bard is proficient with all simple weapons, plus the short sword, shortbow, and whip. Bards are proficient with light armor and shields (except tower shields).

Songs/Dances: At first level, and every other level following a bard/dancer gains specialized songs/dances that can either help him and his allies, or hinder his enemies.

Bardic songs are in two categories, buffing and debuffing. Buffing spells all have special rules. Debuffing spells do as well, but they can be resisted with a will check. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a bard’s/dancer's song/dance is 10 + ½ the Bard's/Dancer's level + the bards/dancer’s Charisma modifier. These songs are the only action that the bard can take for the entire duration of each.

Song/Dance of Defense: This song/dance gives all members of the Bard/Dancer's party a +1 competence bonus to armor class, that increases by +1 every 4 levels to a maximum of +5. So +1 at 1st, +2 at 4th, +3 at 8^th, +4 at 12^th, and +5 at 16^th.

Song/Dance of Sleep: This song/dance is a debuffing ability that puts a single target to sleep for 1 round for every 5 levels with a maximum of 4 rounds. So at 3^nd level it would be 1 round, 8^th level it would be 2 rounds, 13^th it would be 3 rounds, 18^th would be 4 rounds.

Song/Dance of Attack: This song/dance gives all members of the Bard/Dancer's party a +2 competence bonus to attack, that increases by +1 every 5 levels to a maximum of +5. So +2 at 5^th, +3 at 10^th, +4 at 15^th, and +5 at 20^th.

Song/Dance of Slow: This song/dance is a debuffing ability that subtracts 1 action from a target, if the target only has one action then it takes two rounds to make a full action. This lasts for 1 round per 2 levels of the casting Bard/Dancer rounded down. A 10^th level bard would slow someone for 5 rounds.

Song/Dance of Magical Defense: This song/dance gives all members of the Bard/Dancer's party a +3 competence bonus to all saves resulting from a spell, this increases by +1 at 14^th and 20^th. So +3 at 9^th, +4 at 14^th, and +5 at 20^th.

Song/Dance of Blindness: This song/dance is a debuffing ability that blinds a single target for 2 rounds for every 3 levels with a maximum of 4 rounds. So at 11^th level it would be 2 round, 14^th level it would be 3 rounds, and 17^th it would be 4.

Song/Dance of Spell Restoration: This song/dancer can only be done 1/day, but it fully recharges any one in the bard's/dancer's party spells as if they had a full night's rest.

Song/Dance of Frog: This song/dance is a debuffing ability that turns a single target into a frog, with the same amount of hitpoints as the target but with none of the abilities for 1 rounds for every 2 levels with a maximum of 4 rounds. So at 15^th level it would be 2 round, 17^th level it would be 3 rounds, and 19^th it would be 4.

Song/Dance of Countering: This song/dancer can only use this once per day, and it only affects one person, but anytime anyone in the party is attacked the target of this song is allowed to make an immediate counter attack (if he is within range) at his highest base attack bonus.

Song/Dance of Confusion: This song/dance is a debuffing ability that turns a single target against his allies and/or himself for 4 rounds.

Ever Song/Ever Dance: This song/dance allows the Bard to affect all enemies, with all debuffing songs/dances at the same time, or alternatively affect all party members with all buffing songs/dances at the same time.

Bardic Knowledge: A bard may make a special bardic knowledge check with a bonus equal to his bard level + his Intelligence modifier to see whether he knows some relevant information about local notable people, legendary items, or noteworthy places. (If the bard has 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (history), he gains a +2 bonus on this check.)

A successful bardic knowledge check will not reveal the powers of a magic item but may give a hint as to its general function. A bard may not take 10 or take 20 on this check; this sort of knowledge is essentially random.

Countersong/Counterdance: A bard with 3 or more ranks in a Perform skill can use his music or damce to counter song/dance effects from other bards. Each round of the countersong/counterdance, he makes a Perform check. Any creature within 30 feet of the bard (including the bard himself ) that is affected by a sonic or language-dependent debuff may use the bard’s Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform check result proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the countersong/counterdance is already under the effect of a song it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it hears the countersong/counterdance, but it must use the bard’s Perform check result for the save. Countersong/Counterdance has no effect against effects that don’t allow saves. The bard may keep up the countersong/counterdance for 10 rounds.

Ex-Bards

A bard who becomes lawful in alignment cannot progress in levels as a bard, though he retains all his bard abilities.

BLUE MAGE

The Blue Mage is a practitioner of blue magic, a specialized school of magic which replicates the special attacks of various monsters, usually through observation: in most games, the only way to learn blue magic spells is to survive being targeted by them. Blue Mages have appeared as classes in Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Final Fantasy X-2 (as 'Gun Mages), and the Final Fantasy XI: Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion pack. Additionally, various characters in other games have been identified as Blue Mages, including Strago Magus, Quistis Trepe (Final Fantasy VIII), Quina Quen (Final Fantasy IX), and Kimahri Ronso (Final Fantasy X). In Final Fantasy VII, the "Enemy Skills" materia allows a character to cast blue magic.

Alignment: A Blue Mage can be of any alignment

Hit Die: d6.

Class Skills

The Blue Mage’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), (Cha), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Knowledge (monster abilities) (Int)Knowledge (history) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Knowledge (the planes) (Int), Profession (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int).

Skill Points at 1st Level: (2 + Int modifier) x4.

Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 2 + Int modifier.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Blue Mage.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Blue Mages are proficient with quarterstaves, and all pole arms.

Blue mages are proficient with light and medium armor. They incur no spell failure in light or medium armor, but they incur spell failure in heavy armor but at 10% less than listed for the armor.

Blue Magic: Blue magic are abilities that monsters have, anything listed in the back of the Monster Manual is potentially blue magic. Any spell-like ability, feat, special ability, spell, subtype, or extraordinary ability have the potential to be blue magic.

Blue magic has set costs per ability type trying to be used. Anything with a duration other than instantaneous last as many rounds as the blue mage has levels of the blue mage class unless the blue mage is casting a spell or spell like ability, then it is the duration listed. Certain abilities, like breathing water, taking on a subtype, etc all also last as long as the blue mage has class levels. Once an ability has been used to it's duration if the blue mage has enough blue points he can just cast it again.

Spell-like abilities and spells cost twice the spell level being cast in blue point. A shield spell (1^st level spell) being cast by a blue mage would cost 2 blue points to cast.

Any feat cost 1 blue point to cast, and last as many rounds as the characters blue mage level. A single feat can not be cast twice, and it can not be used to qualify for a prestige class. However, the blue mage does not have to qualify for the feat to be able to use it. This is only for feats that the blue mage has taken from monsters/NPCS/PCs, and not feats they earn through level advancement.

Supernatural abilities cost 5 blue points to activate. Use the rules based on the Monster Manual to figure these out. An example being:

Kimari has used Lancet and has taken the breath weapon from a blue dragon. Find the breath weapon entry in the back of the Monster Manual to find out the rules for using it.

A breath weapon attack usually deals damage and is often based on some type of energy.

Such breath weapons allow a Reflex save for half damage (DC 10 + 1/2 breathing creature’s racial HD + breathing creature’s Con modifier; the exact DC is given in the creature’s descriptive text). A creature is immune to its own breath weapon unless otherwise noted. Some breath weapons allow a Fortitude save or a Will save instead of a Reflex save.

By this example, when Kimari uses this breath weapon it will have a DC of 10+1/2 Kimari's HD (he is a 12^th level Blue mage, so for this example it will be 6)+Kimari's Con modifier (+2 in this case). His breath weapon DC is 18. Since he got this from a blue dragon the breath weapon is a bolt of lightning and needs a reflex save to halve.

The damage is based on the dragon Kimari learned the ability from. In this case, Kimari is a 12^th level blue mage. All he has to do is find the nearest (rounded down) damage chart for blue dragon that is CR 12 or lower. As Kimari levels up, so does his breath weapon. Making learning a breath weapon from a dragon a very intelligent move. If he learned a breath attack from something that does not have a chart, then it will be treated as always being the same damage the base creature rolls.

Extraordinary Abilities cost 3 blue points to activate, and the duration that the blue mage can use this ability in is always his class level in rounds. He can use it more than once in that duration, once the duration ends he will have to either recast or let it go.

Subtypes cost 10 blue points to activate, and last either one full day or until the blue mage wishes to revert back to no subtype(or its normal subtype) or change subtype. When a blue mage takes on a subtype he gains all benefits and drawbacks of that subtype. An example:

Kimari has used Lancet to learn the Fire subtype from a fire elemental. During the fight he was wounded badly and does not have a white mage in his party. Instead of waiting to heal, he uses his new fire subtype to turn into sentient ball of fire. He then has the party's black mage cast Fire II on him. This heals Kimari fully.

Lancet: A blue mage can use Lancet to send out blue floating balls of blue light from the demi-plane of Blue Magic into a target with a ranged touch attack. If the target is willing to give the blue mage an ability it will not resist. If it is not willing, then the blue mage must make a special blue magic check. This is a d20+ ½ blue mage's level rounded down+Cha Modifier, which has to beat the target's CR+Will Save+5. For Example:

Kimari wants to learn Swallow Whole from a sandworm. He succeds in a ranged touch attack, and the sandworm resists. Kimari is 12^th level and has a Charisma modifier of +4. He rolls a d20 and gets a 15, leaving him with a 25. The Sandworm is a CR 14 creature, has a Base will save of 5. Leaving the sandworm with 24. Kimari beats the sandworm and learns Swallow Whole.

Scan: A blue mage can take a full round action to examine a creature/person, after which the blue mage will know roughly how difficult the target will be to fight, what it is weak aganist if anything, and what it is strong against if anything. Example:

Kimari finds himself staring down a water elemental, after scanning it he learns that a water attack will heal it and a lightning attack will do a lot of damage. He also learns that the elemental is already half way to being beaten.

Absorb: A blue mage that is attack with an ability/spell/spell-like ability that he has the capability to learn he can choose not to make a saving throw (if one is allowed) and instead make a Blue Magic check (d20+ ½ blue mage levels+Cha modifier vs target's CR+Will Save+5) and learn the ability. He will still take full damage or ailment from the attack.

Absorb (No Damage): A blue mage with this level of absorb can do the same thing as normal absorb allows, but if his check is successful he takes no damage from the attack.

Absorb (Safe): This is the same as Absorb (No Damage) but now even if he fails he takes no damage so long as he fails by no more than 8.

Lancet (Steal): This is the same as Lancet, only now the blue mage not only learns the ability but removes the target's ability to use the power/ability stolen from it for the rest of the day.

GEOMANCER

Geomancers channel the powers of the environment around them. Therefore, their abilities differ depending on where they currently are. If in a forest, they will attack with vines and forest animals, if in a cave with rockslides, if in a desert with quicksand, etc. Geomancers are featured in a few Final Fantasy games, either as a class or in loose association with a characters powers. They first appear in Final Fantasy III, and they reappear in Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy Tactics. Mog the moogle (Final Fantasy VI) is considered a member of the Dancer class, however, his dances are elemental in nature and change depending on his environment, therefore making his abilities much closer to a Geomancer's than a Dancer's.

Alignment: Any

Hit Die: d8.

Class Skills

The Geomancer’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Handle Animal (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (nature) (Int), Listen (Wis), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Spellcraft (Int), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), and Swim (Str).

Skill Points at 1st Level: (4 + Int modifier) x4.

Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 4 + Int modifier.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Geomancer.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Geomancers are proficient with the following weapons: club, dagger, dart, quarterstaff, scimitar, sickle, shortspear, sling, and spear.

Geomancers are proficient with light and medium armor but are prohibited from wearing metal armor; thus, they may wear only padded, leather, or hide armor. (A Geomancer may also wear wooden armor that has been altered by the ironwood spell so that it functions as though it were steel. See the ironwood spell description) Geomancers are proficient with shields (except tower shields) but must use only wooden ones.

A geomancer who wears prohibited armor or carries a prohibited shield is unable to cast geomancer spells while doing so and for 24 hours thereafter.

Spells: A Geomancer casts divine spells, which are drawn from the Geomancer spell list. A Geomancer must choose and prepare her spells in advance (see below).

To prepare or cast a spell, the Geomancer must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a geomancer’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the geomancer’s Wisdom modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a geomancer can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on the table. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Wisdom score. She does not have access to any domain spells or granted powers, as a cleric does.

A geomancer prepares and casts spells the way a cleric does, though she cannot lose a prepared spell to cast a cure spell in its place (but see Terrain Casting, below). A geomancer may prepare and cast any spell on the Geomancer spell list, provided that she can cast spells of that level, but she must choose which spells to prepare during her daily meditation.

Terrain Casting: Geomancers have spell lists for terrain types, and can only cast those spells while on that terrain. However, if the Geomancer has a Terrain Specialization in the terrain she is on, all of her spells are effected by +4 caster level and she has all the spells she would if she were a level higher.

Terrain Specialization: There are 7 terrain types to choose from, Plains, Arctic, Desert, Wooded, Ocean, Mountain, and Underground. Each Specialization gives the Geomancer a special ability.

Bonus Languages: A Geomancer’s bonus language options include Sylvan, the language of woodland creatures. This choice is in addition to the bonus languages available to the character because of her race.

A Geomancer also knows Geomanceric, a secret language known only to Geomancers, which she learns upon becoming a 1st-level Geomancer. Geomanceric is a free language for a Geomancer; that is, she knows it in addition to her regular allotment of languages and it doesn’t take up a language slot. Geomancers are forbidden to teach this language to nonGeomancers.

Geomanceric has its own alphabet.

Nature Sense (Ex): A Geomancer gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Survival checks.

Wild Empathy (Ex): A Geomancer can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. The Geomancer rolls 1d20 and adds her Geomancer level and her Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result.

The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.

To use wild empathy, the Geomancer and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.

A Geomancer can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but she takes a –4 penalty on the check.

Woodland Stride (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a Geomancer may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. However, thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion still affect her.

Trackless Step (Ex): Starting at 3rd level, a Geomancer leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked. She may choose to leave a trail if so desired.

Resist Nature’s Lure (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a Geomancer gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against the spell-like abilities of fey.

Venom Immunity (Ex): At 9th level, a Geomancer gains immunity to all poisons.

Timeless Body (Ex): After attaining 15th level, a Geomancer no longer takes ability score penalties for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any penalties she may have already incurred, however, remain in place.

Bonuses still accrue, and the Geomancer still dies of old age when her time is up.

Bonus Feats: At 1st level, a Squire gets a bonus combat-oriented feat in addition to the feat that any 1st-level character gets and the bonus feat granted to a human character. The Squire gains an additional bonus feat at 2nd level and every two Squire levels thereafter (4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th, and 20th). These bonus feats must be drawn from the feats noted as Squire bonus feats. A Squire must still meet all prerequisites for a bonus feat, including ability score and base attack bonus minimums.

These bonus feats are in addition to the feat that a character of any class gets from advancing levels. A Squire is not limited to the list of Squire bonus feats when choosing these feats.

Knight: At 9^th level, a Squire becomes a Knight. This grants him access to 3 Knight feats.

MONK

The Monk is a master of martial arts (especially karate) who shuns heavy weapons or armor in favor of barehanded fighting. In the later games, it has also shown a proclivity towards certain meditative techniques which can improve its attack power, or heal its battle wounds. Frequently it has the ability to immediately counterattack against physical attacks directed at its person. In early English localizations of the series, the Monk was known as the Black Belt. The Monk has appeared as a class in Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. The characters Yang Fang Leiden (Final Fantasy IV), Sabin René Figaro (Final Fantasy VI), Tifa Lockhart (Final Fantasy VII) and Zell Dincht (Final Fantasy VIII)) can be roughly categorized as Monk-type characters. Amarant Coral (Final Fantasy IX) incorporates a number of characteristics of both the Monk class and the Ninja character class.

Game Considerations: None, just use the Monk class.

THIEF

The Thief is generally a slightly weaker physical combatant, but with an unusually high skill at evasion, speed and often luck due to their natural dexterity. They can steal items from their foes, disarm various traps, and sneak up on their opponents unawares. The Thief has appeared as a class in Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. The characters Locke Cole (Final Fantasy VI), Zidane Tribal (Final Fantasy IX), and Rikku (Final Fantasy X) are characterized as thieves.

Game Considerations: Base class is Rogue, but at 10^th level they gain Mug.

Mug: Mug allows a Thief to make a sleight of hand during combat without invoking an attack of opportunity.

HUNTER

The Hunter is a ranged combatant, often using a bow. Wakka from Final Fantasy X is a hunter.

Game Considerations: Base class is Ranger, but the combat style has to be ranged. Also, the Hunter gets no spells. Instead replace the spells with a feat. Every time the ranger would gain a new spell level instead allow to it select a Fighter Bonus Feat, including weapon specialization.

NINJA

The Ninja, is generally both fast and powerful, combining the agility of a Thief and strength of a Fighter. However, in order to achieve this level of dexterity, Ninja are limited in defense, unable to wear heavy armor. Ninja usually possess the Throw ability, which allows them to throw powerful, damage-dealing items like shuriken and items from the inventory such as weapons at the enemy. In many games, they possess the ability two hold a weapon in each hand, sometimes known as Doublehand. They appear in Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. The characters Shadow and Yuffie Kisaragi (Final Fantasy VII) are characterized as Ninjas. Furthermore, the characters of Edge (Final Fantasy IV), Amarant Coral (Final Fantasy IX) and Rikku (Final Fantasy X) incorporate some of the elements the Ninja class, altough they are not necessarily classified as such.

Game Considerations: Base class is Ninja from the Complete Adventurer, the only change is that at 10^th level they gain the ability Throw.

Throw: A Ninja can make any object a improvised ranged weapon without taking penalty.

WHITE/BLACK/GREEN MAGE

A White Mage uses magic to replenish party members's hit points, revive the wounded, cure status conditions, and deal holy damage to the enemy. White Mages have appeared as a class in Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Minwu of Final Fantasy II, Rosa Farrell and Porom of Final Fantasy IV are all White Mages. Aerith Gainsborough of Final Fantasy VII can be classified as a White Mage as her limit breaks mostly involve healing, curing and reviving party members. Yuna of Final Fantasy X, Garnet Til Alexandros XVII and Eiko Carol of Final Fantasy IX are all a mix of a white mage and summoner. In the English localization of Final Fantasy Tactics, White Mages were referred to as Priests.

A 'Black Mage' is a magic-user that specializes in attack magic. Many of their spells utilize the elements to attack their enemies (fire, ice, electricity, water.). The Black Mage is available as a class in Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. In the English localization of Final Fantasy Tactics, Black Mages were called Wizards. Other black mages throughout the series are Rydia (who is also a Summoner and loses the ability to cast white Magic halfway through the game) Palom of Final Fantasy IV and Vivi Ornitier from Final Fantasy IX. On her default sphere path, Lulu of Final Fantasy X is roughly analogous to a Black Mage. As the series has grown, Black Mages have gained the ability to not only inflict elemental damage, but also to cause certain status ailments such as Blind.

The most recent magic set is called Green Magic, first appearing as in the Oracle class from Final Fantasy Tactics and later as Arcana in Final Fantasy X-2, then as a fully separate magic type in demos of Final Fantasy XII. Green Magic introduces skills which were previously classified as Black or White magic, such as Darkness and Petrification.

Alignment: Any good (White), Any neutral or evil (Black and Green)

Hit Die: d4.

Class Skills

The Mage’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Profession (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int).

Skill Points at 1st Level: (2 + Int modifier) x 4.

Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 2 + Int modifier.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Mage.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: White Mages are proficient with war hammers, Black mages are proficient with daggers, and Green Mages are proficient with quarterstaves. They are not proficient with any type of armor or shield. Armor of any type interferes with a Mage’s gestures, which can cause his spells with somatic components to fail.

Spells: A Mage casts arcane spells which are drawn primarily from the White/Black/Green spell list. He can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time, the way a wizard or a cleric must (see below).

To learn or cast a spell, a Mage must have a Wisdom/Intelligence/Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a Mage’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the Mage’s Wisdom/Intelligence/Charisma modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a Mage can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Mage. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Charisma score.

A Mage’s selection of spells is extremely limited. A Mage begins play knowing four 0-level spells and two 1st-level spells of your choice. At each new Mage level, he gains one or more new spells, as indicated on Table: Mage Spells Known. (Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a Mage knows is not affected by his Wisdom/Intelligence/Charisma score; the numbers on Table: Mage Spells Known are fixed.) These new spells can be common spells chosen from the Mage/wizard spell list, or they can be unusual spells that the Mage has gained some understanding of by study. The Mage can’t use this method of spell acquisition to learn spells at a faster rate, however.

Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even-numbered Mage level after that (6th, 8th, and so on), a Mage can choose to learn a new spell in place of one he already knows. In effect, the Mage “loses” the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least two levels lower than the highest-level Mage spell the Mage can cast. A Mage may swap only a single spell at any given level, and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that he gains new spells known for the level.

Unlike a wizard or a cleric, a Mage need not prepare his spells in advance. He can cast any spell he knows at any time, assuming he has not yet used up his spells per day for that spell level. He does not have to decide ahead of time which spells he’ll cast.

Bonus Feats: At 1st, 7th, 14th, and 20th level, a Mage gains a bonus feat. At each such opportunity, she can choose a metamagic feat, an item creation feat, or Spell Mastery. The wizard must still meet all prerequisites for a bonus feat, including caster level minimums.

These bonus feats are in addition to the feat that a character of any class gets from advancing levels. The wizard is not limited to the categories of item creation feats, metamagic feats, or Spell Mastery when choosing these feats.

Sage: At 10^th level, a Mage becomes a Sage and may pick any three Sage feats.
