06-09-04, 04:51 PM Ok I need some ideas on an NPC to hunt spell casters.

My first idea was a society from the shadows that watches spell casters to see if they use thier craft with honor and hunt down those that don't. This society can use spells and warn other casters to be careful with the craft and not misuse their powers.

The second idea was a group completely against spell casting and doesn't allow its use at all. They would warn casters never again to use their powers or face death.

The idea is that in my game the prince will soon be taken over by a demon and he will out law spell casting. He will use bothe groups to take out casters and then use the second group to take out the first.

So how do you build a spell caster hunter without the NPC useing magic. Any suggestions would be helpful. The group will have mid level magic items availible if you think they would use them.

If they intend to keep the spellcasters alive, bring Dimensional Shackles.

Alternatively, go for Paladin. Make the distinction between Divine Magic (okay) and Arcane Maginc (pure evil). It depends on how picky you are about what consistutes a spell caster.

Or you can make a organization that believes that Magic should only be used by deities, not mortals. Assasins, Monks with SR, or even the plain Fighters would work fine.

Maybe they would have a new feat...Maybe one that gives them +x to saves against spells, or maybe +x to saves against a specific school of magic?
