Illusionist Character Creation (Archetype and "Modification")


Rules Questions


First off... I am sorry if I posted this in the wrong thread. If I did, can someone please direct me to where this would be appropriate?

I am making a new character for an up and coming, home made campaign. This character will be a Gnome Illusionist that is aspiring to be a full blown shadowmage later on, but will start off with the basic trickery that is an illusionist.

Here is my question: Is it possible for this illusionist to be a Mage of the Veil (School specialization (though looks like an archetype) from Inner Sea Primer), a Shadow Caster (Archetype from Inner Sea Magic), and a Sin Magic Specialist (?mod? of some sort, from I think Inner Sea Magic) all at the same time?

If it can't be accomplished, which combinations can be?

Thank you for your time.


Mage of the Veil and Sin Magic are separate school specializations. They aren't compatible. It would be like attempting to specialize in both conjugation and abjuration--you only get one.

Shadowcaster is an archetype with no particular requirements. It's compatible with any choice of school, be it normal, focused, or sin-based.


Thanks for clarifying that for me.


No prob!

I'd like to thank Apple for reminding me that some wizards specialize in grammar theory, apparently. : /
