Thanomancers use the
Thanomancy variant of
Adeptology. |
Thanomancers are powerful
naturally occuring Arcane Magic Users,
that dont require any training to use their abilities and are able to work their will upon
most situations.
Thanomancers drain the life forces of other living things to fuel their
Magic, but on the plus side dont suffer Long Term Endurance loss from using
their Magic (unlike Adepts). |
Thanomancers may not be appropriate to all
settings or campaigns, or even when they exist they may not be suitable as
Player Characters in some GM's games due to their grim means to power.
However, in some games with thicker skinned players they can be very
interesting additions to an adventuring group. They definitely introduce an
interesting dynamic. |
