Mar 09, 2011 18:25:06 My friends and I are sarting out role-playing in d20 modern and have not done this before. The rule book for d20 Arcanum is hazy about which class can cast spells. I'm making a level one character and I'd like to make it a spell caster, however I don't know if that simply comes with a class or if I need to choose it as a feat? And it's unclear how many spells i can cast or know or how to level this ability up?

Mar 10, 2011 0:13:34    Sadly d20 modern isn't setup so a player can cast spells at first level, all spellcasting classes are advanced classes. There are two feets in the urban arcana book that will give a player the ability to cast a few 0-level spell once a day. there are also incantions that can be used by anyone with ranks in the knowledge (arcane lore) skill, weather they are a spell caster or not, starting on page 102.
   Normal spell casting advanced classes can be found in the d20 modern book in the Campaign Models chapterthe more powerfull of the two are the mage and acolyte found on pages 318 and 322.
   I hope this helps.

Rustam is right about the level when it is available kinda like Soldier class you need three ranks of the base six before qualifying

There is of course the Modern Magic splatbooks by the Game Mechanics which gives you things like the spells and a few classes around the concept of Military Magic and etcetera

Then of course there are the splatbooks released by Wizard as I think there is one or two classes there
