��A d20 Modern Advanced Class SORCERER SUPREME Requires the use of the d20 Modern"! Roleplaying Game, published by Wizards of the Coast, Inc. BACKGROUND Years of hard work, study, and dedication have turned you into who you are today: The greatest sorcerer of your order - and undoubtedly one of the world's best. Though you were born with a greater than average potential in the magical arts and have extensively studied the works of famed mages, it was your stubbornness and unshakable sense of commitment to magical theory and practice that drove you. And thus you are entirely responsible for everything you have accomplished. The Sorcerer Supreme is a powerful arcane spellcaster who has become a veritable master of magic. Feared and respected by both those who do not comprehend the magical arts as well as those who wield the arcane forces, the Sorcerer Supreme is a paragon of raw potential shaped into a controlled and complex discipline. A veritable force of nature and source of knowledge, the Sorcerer Supreme is also the head of the magical college, order, or guild he belongs to. Arguably, he is the most powerful spellcaster of that organization. PROFILE OF A SORCERER SUPREME Stephen Squire was far from being an ordinary child. From an early age, his mother educated him in geography, ancient history, mythology, as well as in the sciences. Though he never knew his father, who died when he was an infant, his mother taught him everything she knew. By age eight, although he had never went to school, Stephen was fluent in nine different languages, including ancient Greek and Latin. When his mother died, his father's brother took him in. Stephen, now eleven years old, attended school for the first time in his life. Quickly dubbed a child prodigy, he was placed in special classes where he learned advanced biology, physics, and chemistry. Because he was blessed with a great mind and a privileged education - and also because he spent most of his time in one book or another - Stephen did not get along well with other children. Instead, he related with adults, but only with those from whom he could learn something. It was not long before a mage of considerable power took an interested in young Stephen. Under his tutelage, the teenager entered a prestigious university and, in his leisure, began to study the intricate art of magic. At sixteen, he earned his bachelor's degree. Later that same year, he was inducted into the Hermetic Order of the Seventh Star, of which his mentor had been a member for many decades. For the first time since his mother had died, Stephen felt as though he was at home. He continued to study different fields at prestigious universities, but spent most of his time learning new spells. Written by Jason J. McCuiston PAGE 2 Language (none), Research (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Speak After years of extensive study and practice, as well as countless Language (none), and Spellcraft (Int). adventures in which he uncovered unfathomable secrets, the name of Stephen Squire became one of the most renown among Skill Points at Each Level: 7 + Int modifier. practitioners of the arcane.
