[BECMI] Class: Arcane Warrior

[RobJN]

Arcane Warriors are individuals who combine training in arcane magic and combat ability. Many, but not all Arcane Warriors are trained by the Wizards Cabal and serve that organization.

Under the Classic D&D rules, use the Elf Class with the following exceptions:

• Arcane Warriors are humans, but progress as elves.
  
• May advance as Elves up to 36th level as per the RC appendix
  
• Do not have Infravision, the abilities to detect hidden doors, Immunity to Ghoul Paralysis or long life span of elves.
  
• At Name Level, may construct a stronghold and attract folllowers similar to fighters rather than elves.
  
• Have access to magic user spells, but not special elf spells such as found in Gaz5 the Elves of Alfheim.
  
• Use D8 for HP, instead of D6, and gain +2 HP per level beyond 9th level. (same as fighter)

The above is my suggested BECMI conversion of the Arcane Warrior Class which first appeared in the D20 Blackmoor Campaign Sourcebook by Zeitgeist Games.

Would you allow use of the "Magic Learned Later in Life" chart from the Hollow World Player's Guide if a player wanted to have his/her warrior join the order after a few levels as "just a fighter?"
