Tarot Mage
Tarot Mages channel their magic through Tarot cards, using them to give themselves supernatural and magical abilities. They wield their souls and cards to cause magical outcomes. Tarot Mages are not to be confused with Tarot Readers, who use Tarot cards to foretell future events, among other things.
You will need a dice-rolling app such as Dice Bag (free app) that allows for creation of custom-sided dice for this class, as you need to roll a d78 to determine the card you draw with Body, Mind, Spirit. Or you could draw from a real Tarot deck.
Body, Mind, Spirit
Tarot Mages have connected to the power of Tarot cards to enhance themselves and debilitate enemies. They improve their bodies by conjuring weapons and transmuting themselves. They improve their mind by giving themselves knowledge of martial techniques to be used in conjunction with thier weapons. They master their Spirit by using it in tandem with their cards to cast powerful spells. Since they rely on their cards to give them power, they have time to train their non-combat skills often.
