Numerolomancer (3.5e Class)
Numerolomancer
"No, no. The ledger clearly states five thousand gold pieces, not five hundred".
The Numerolomancer is a magician of numbers. He takes cues from the rogue, focusing himself on finding ways to make his own wealth grow. He also uses his own natural magical talent and intelligence to fulfill the same goal.
Whether through clever planning, outright theft, or the occasional magical misdirection, the Numerolomancer always finds a way to make a profit.
Making a Numerolomancer
Like some rogues, a Numerolomancer can usually be found smooth-talking and flanking his way through an ordinary day. However, also like rogues, if the Numerolomancer is caught stealing or angers the wrong person with his trickery and planning, he is quite susceptible to a stiff arm to the face. It is advisable that every Numerolomancer have at least one mook at his disposal or, as some like to call them, 'party members'. While one might assume that a Numerolomancer would get along with others like himself. However, they are generally too greedy to mix well with others with their tastes. A favorite tactic of neutral aligned Numerolomancers is to convince a Paladin that they're a stand up individual and, with their forged documents as proof, nudge the Paladin into making someone honor their agreements.
Abilities: Intelligence is the key ability of this class. A Numerolomancer will need it to cast is spells, as well as to fill out his list of skills. Intelligence is also important for the Numerolomancer to successfully land his Calculated strikes. Dexterity is also important to the Numerolomancer, as in some situations his only option is to move out of the way and then run until he can run no more.
Races: Nearly every race has someone who might be born smart enough and with enough magical ability to become a Numerolomancer. The question, however, is how greedy are they?
Alignment: Any. While anyone could conceivably be greedy and cunning enough to be a Numerolomancer, it would stand to reason that the class would lean toward a more neutral to evil alignment.
Starting Gold: 8d4×10 gp (200gp).
Starting Age: As rogue
