Playbook: The Winter Mage (PBtA)
 |
The Winter Mage Preview Edition: Available Here
Another one came up today¸ to the top of your mountain. Another seeking to best december¸ to defy the bite of ice. Another who received it¸ in full. You are Winter - cold¸ uncaring¸ and untouchable.
The Winter Mage is a playbook for the Dungeon World roleplaying game¸ and the third of my Mage Revised series. The Mage is one of the most popular playbooks I have ever written¸ but it has its flaws - the class is too open ended¸ and is generally capable of solving problems on a larger scope than any other class can really confront. My solution was to pare down the class into multiple different classes¸ each built around a single Spell Focus. This class is a reimagining of a Mage with Spell Focus: The Winter.
The Winter Mage is as hard as ice¸ as biting as the wind¸ and as distant as the snowy mountaintops. With your Chill stat¸ you have a second pool of hit points to draw from¸ equal to your full Constitution score. You can spend it to reduce damage¸ but you can also use it to freeze things in their place¸ coat them in frozen armor¸ or make a castle of ice to live in. Your affinity for cold extends to your ability to relate to others¸ though - you find you cannot commit to them as much as you'd like¸ and you keep them at arm's length. After all¸ your very touch can give them frostbite¸ which I'm sure your enemies will regret.
