Fantasy Traveller - Arcanist

Arcanists are those who make their living primarily through the study and practice of arcane magic.

Qualification: Int 6+. -1 DM per previous career

Specialties:

Sorcerer: You developed a natural destructive power, and spent your time either in the service of a government or on the run from it.  Your survival depended on some degree of physical toughness, but you advanced through raw magical talent.
Survival: End 6+.  Advancement: Int 6+.

Warlock: You studied Secrets Man Was Not Meant to Know.  Hunted as a witch and a heretic, you quickly learned to hide your abilities.  Your survival was centered around your ability to deceive others, while your power increased through study of further secrets.
Survival: Int 7+.  Advancement: Edu 5+.

Wizard: You studied magic formally at one of several academies, and may have served as a court mage for a noble house.  Your continued employment depended on the rigor of your studies, but advancement required pulling strings and knowing the right people.
Survival: Edu 5+.  Advancement: Soc 7+.

Basic Training: Arcanists gain their basic training skills from their specialty, rather than from the Career Skills table.
