[PnP] Shaman & Wizard

[Alex Koponen]

In Scott's game the character Z'leyra, brought in primarily as a healer, 
is a Shaman/Sidhe Magician/Balance Wizard. Her background is as a 
daughter of a shaman who wed a visiting Ticasi Scholar. Upon the 
shaman's death he was allowed to take one of his daughters (both of whom 
had trained as shaman) back to Ticasi with him. In Ticasi the daughter 
also learned Balance wizardry and made the acquaintance of some sidhe, 
(most notably Varange) from whom she learned to be a sidhe magician. Her 
official adventuring started after her father died.

Yes, she had to pay the apprenticeship cost of all three paths. With 
decent attributes this gave her enough starting experience to start at MEL5.
