2025 Character Creation Challenge Day 9
You can read more about the challenge here and here.
Rolling Theurgists has been... an experience.
Magic-Users don't have much to spending money on, so I am happy that I've included hirelings and magic items and the shopping lists. As expected, all of them are loaded on scrolls. Some also have hirelings. Biggest differentiators are rolled magical items.
And wow, are wands and staves powerful in the original Dungeons & Dragons!
But enough of that.
Without further ado, meet five human Theurgists.
