Thief Advanced Move (6-10)

By the Book

Your experience with the supernatural has slowly translated into the ability to read the magical script of wizards.  You can cast spells from scrolls as a wizard of 5 levels lower.  When you read from a scroll, roll+CHA.  On a 10+, the spell effect takes place and the scroll remains.  On a 7-9, the spell is cast but the scroll disintegrates and you choose one:

*Not being an expert, it’s easy for something to slip up.  The spell isn’t quite right. 

*While you knew what you wanted to do, and who you wanted to do it to, one or more of your companions are caught up in the effect.  

*The scroll demands more power, and sucks away 1d6 of your own life force.

  1. Yep, precisely.  It also allows me to put scrolls in the world to learn new spells (because, really, the Wizard list shouldn’t be exhaustive — it’s fun to find new spells…).  So an interesting dynamic can open up between the Thief and Wizard. 

  2. That’s something that surprised me about DW, actually — that the Thief is I think the only class that has no cross-class options.  Being able to use scrolls and/or wands is a classic.
