Gypsy Nomad

Magic with a serious twist.

DESCRIPTION
There's a really good reason why most Gypsies are nomads. They can't do anything right. Even the greatest of Gypsy ladies screw up their powers half of the time. Sometimes these mistakes help more than hurt, making the Gypsies valuable but dangerous companions. Typically Gypsies are friendly and outgoing. They just about have to be to explain their mistakes. They like to have nice things, and live in nice places, but never manage to stay there very long. The only requirement to be a Gypsy is that you must know the phrases "Oops! Sorry!" and "Don't worry, it'll wear off!!"

SPECIAL ABILITIES AND PENALTIES
- The Gypsy may learn from mistakes, making them permanent spells
- The Gypsy may create any kind of temporary spell on a successful roll.
- The Gypsy may upgrade the power of memorized spells.
- If out of spells for the turn, the Gypsy may cast one "wild spell"
- If the Magic Phase is a 1, the Gypsy may not cast spells, and all Gypsy Spells previously cast wear off.

WEAPONS AND ARMOUR
Gypsies can use most types of single handed blade weapons, such as swords, daggers, etc. As for armor, they can use any armor up to light armor, but they must buy it at 150% of normal cost to customize it to their shapely bodies, and so it doesn't clash with their outfit.

Protection is no excuse not to look good. If the armor is found, she must pay half of the sell value to customize it.

STARTING AS A GYPSY
A level 1 Gypsy begins with one skill, rolled on the Skills section, and five level 1 spells listed below. These spells are Memorized and may be casted each turn.

Create Magic Sword (S/T) - The Gypsy holds out her hand and creates a sword made of magic. This weapon always ignores armor, is considered magical, and does an extra 2 damage on a natural 6 To Hit. This spell lasts until the Magic Phase is a 1 or the sword is removed from the owner's hand.

Deflect Blow (T) - As the Gypsy snaps her fingers, an incoming attack from a target is deflected, causing it to miss.

Fireball (T) - The Gypsy holds out the palm of her hand, and a ball of fire flies forth. The target is automatically struck for 1D6 damage with no modifiers for Toughness or Armor.

Magic Candle (N) - This spell allows the Gypsy to create a lit red wax candle which lights a 4x4 square area. This spell lasts until the Magic Phase is a 1 or until the candle is blown out.

Healing Tough (T/S) - This spell causes the Gypsy to heal any target in sight for 1D6 wounds.
(S) = The spell's target is the caster
(T) = The spell's target is another model
(N) = The spell has no target. (The room)

CASTING SPELLS
- Gypsies may cast as many spells as the number on the Magic Phase die. So if the Magic Phase is at a 3, three spells may be cast. If the die is a 1, no spells may be casted and all spells previously casted are dispeled. This does not reverse damaged caused or healing done by old spells.
- To cast a spell, the Gypsy must roll a D6. If the number is higher or equal to the number required for correct casting a spell of that level, the spell casts as it is supposed to. If not, the spell is miscast and the GM rolls the new effect of the spell.

THE ENCAMPMENT
In every settlement there is a section of town where the poor call their own. In this place, Gypsies sometimes set up camp, offering fortunes to the fortuneless. In this place, Gypsies can learn from others, for a modest fee, of course.
- Gypsies may buy training here, raising their level and giving them one new skill, more spell slots, and causing them to be more proficient spell-casters.
- The items below may be bought on a successful stock roll :

MEMORIZING MISTAKES
In every Gypsies career, she will bungle hundreds of spells. Not to learn from those mistakes would be the attribute of a fool. Whenever a spell is miscast and the effect is completed and not dispelled, the Gypsy may attempt to memorize what she just cast. Roll a D6 and consult the chart below.

Failed the spell by 1	4-6
Failed the spell by 2	5-6
Failed the spell by 3 or rolled a Natural 1	6 only

If the Gypsy passes her Memorizing roll, she may permanently keep her miscast as a Memorized spell, assuming she has any open memory slots on that level. A spell CANNOT be learned if there are no open spell slots on that level.

SPELL DURATIONS
Unless the spell says otherwise, all spells last for either 1 day or until the end of the adventure - whichever comes first. Any objects created by the Gypsy will disappear, and any curses or bonuses will disappear.

CREATING SPELLS
If the Gypsy needs a spell she does not have, she may attempt to create and cast it anyways. To do so, she must first say what she wishes to cast to the GM, and he will give it a difficulty rating from level 1 to level 5. She then must roll D6. If the number is higher or equal to the numebr required to make the spell, it is automatically casted sucessfully and takes effect immediatly (or whenever the spell is soposed to take effect). If the roll is lower than the number needed, the GM must roll on the same level Miscast Chart as the attemted spell. If the Gypsy wishes to memorize the spell (if it is correctly cast), she must roll a 5 or 6. If the Gypsy wishes to memorize the miscasted version of the spell, she must roll a 6.
Example : Gypsy : "I want to create a bridge for the other warriors."
GM : "Ok, that would probably be a level 2 spell. Still want to try?"
Gypsy : "Sure."
She rolls D66, and comes up with 46. Being a level 4 Gypsy, she needed a 55 to cast the spell correctly. The spell miscasted.
GM : "Well, you created a bridge, the only problem is that it's made out of cake frosting..."
Gypsy : "Mmmmm.. hey, if I memorized it, could I cast it at enemies?"
GM : "Umm...I guess so...but you'd need to roll a 6 to memorize it, and your out of level 2 slots."
Gypsy : "Can I forget my Snowballs from Hell spell?"
GM : "Sure, Erase it and then you can try to memorize the Bridge of Frosting."
Gypsy : "Done. Ok, here goes..."
She rolls a 3, then uses a luck point. A natural 6!
GM : "Ok, go ahead and write down the level 2 spell Bridge of Frosting..."

WILD MAGIC
If the Gypsy has no more spells to cast, she may attempt to cast a Wild Magic spell. The spell is totally random, including the choice of target. If the Gypsy rolls equal to or higher than her Wild magic score, roll on the charts below.

Target Chart
1. Caster
