+Cleric: Seraph

Double Team: passive; Your magic tunes well to yourself, making all minions you summon an exact replica of you (in image only). Whenever an attack would target you or one of your minions specifically, the attacker must also roll a 1dX, with X equaling you and the number of minions you have.

Eye of the Beast: Weapon, Ranged, Recharge 1; Forgoing the traditional ammunition for firing the essence of the aether itself, look through the eyes of your minions or allies.

Boomerang: Weapon, Ranged; Shoot or throw your weapon at an enemy. If you fail, you can increase the recharge of this skill by 1 for each +1 you add to the failed roll to make it a success, the attack hitting next turn as it rebounds back to strike from behind. You cannot boost a crit fail, and you cannot make the skill crit if you boost it.

This skill gives you the Conjure Minion skill for free.

Betraying Arms: spell, Recharge 3; Pour magic into an enemy’s equipment, turning it against them until they roll to regain control of it. If you animate their weapon, it deals 1 hit every turn plus any other effects it has until they control it. If you animate their armor, they can’t make any physical actions or dodge until they regain control.

+Alchemist: Scientist

Too many rely on magic to take on the daily tasks of life. A Scientist does as well, but blending it with ingenuity and whatever else they find lying around to do anything that pops into their head.
