Alterers are specialist mages who concentrate their studies in the mastery of altering the world around them. Their all-purpose skills serve them wonderfully in combat, in the maintenance of their own health and equipment, and in becoming successful adventurers. So skilled are they in the alteration of the universe that they gain all known alteration spells, including some which only the alterer may gain.
The Alterer suffers from a lack of access to the Evocation school of magic, the long duration and heavy impact of their spells plus the general usefulness of their school makes them a good choice for all mages. Since they have their own kind of destructive magic, they will find they don't miss evocations at all. |
