Sorcerers of Primal Might

D&D 3e (3.0/3.5) Rules

by Victor

The Sorcerers of Primal Might are a group of militant sorcerers that frown upon the fact that they are labeled renegades. They see no reason that they shouldn't be free to practice their craft without looking over their shoulders in fear. The group got started when a over zealous upstart Wizard of High Sorcery decided that he was going to be a hero and take down a renegade sorcerer instead of reporting his existence and leaving it to the Renegade hunters. In addition to being completely outmatched he also picked the most unstable sorcerer (who indecently already had enough against the conclave). From that day on, he swore that he would hunt down and destroy every last member of the order.
Hit Die: d4.
