Thank you everyone for all of the suggestions. I have many more ideas than I did before.

I like the idea of a master poker player wizard who uses evocation and the such to shift the dice and is very good at deceiving people.

Should I worry about resources at all to be able to have access to a library or is there a better mechanic that could help with that?

I will post more on here as I create him.

The RPG looks completely awesome. The problem I am having is of course with character creation. I am so used to the structured systems that when I come accross a very open system it is hard to know where to go.

The game we are running is at the Chest Deep power level. I am working on creating a gambler type wizard. Sort of a Gambit meets trickster sort of thing. I was thinking he would be the type of wizard that creates backdoor poker games with both the natural and supernatural playing for favors and magic(and money of course). I was thinking that one of his troubles could be that he can never back down from a bet.

There are a couple things that I would welcome any advice on:

*I am looking at the skills and its hard not to want to get as many superb skills as possible, the problem is that leaves very few other skills at a usefull level. Is it better as a wizard to have a few really awesome skills or a hundred medium skills?

*I want to flesh out my concept as much as possible since I feel that in this sort of game it is important to really know your background.

*What sort of niche could this character have in a party? We already have an information broker type of character. I will probably be the only wizard, but not the only magic practitioner.

*Rotes, evocations, and magic items oh my!(any ideas or suggestions)


*After reading the book it seems that if I want to be able to research and do thaumaturgy rituals of any level it will be important to invest in high resources so I can have a good library, am i interpreting this correctly?

Thank you
