Wizard Slayer (Fighter Kit)

A warrior specially trained by his sect to excel in hunting and combating spellcasters of all kinds.

Advantages

• Each successful hit bestows a 10% cumulative chance of spell failure on the target.
• 1% magic resistance per level.

Disadvantages

• May not use any magic items apart from weapons and armor — no rings, cloaks, boots, wands, scrolls, or potions of magical effect.

When to pick it

• Devastating against mage-heavy parties — a few quick hits and an enemy spellcaster's spells start fizzling reliably.
• Magic-item restriction is severe in the long term; Wizard Slayers struggle to keep up with item-loaded parties at high levels.
