CALLER OCC

     Based on a character in Final Fantasy II, this lesser practitioner
of magic can do some amazing stuff. 

REQUIREMENTS: ME 16, IQ 15, must start training as a child (All Callers start 
at Level 2 except in a few special cases.  For example, in Final Fantasy II, 
Rydia would start at Level 1 because of the Mist Dragon's defeat). 

ALIGNMENT: Contrary to popular belief, most are Unprincipled or good.  Many 
tend to perceive them as Miscreant or Diabolic, as the most famous (and nasty) 
are evil. 

BONUSES: Add 1d6 to all mental attributes 

SPELLS: Choose 1 from Level 1 (no spells yet in the case of a Level 1 Caller.)  
Add two per level of XP, up to a level equalling that of the Callers.  At 
every 1,000,000 XP above Level 15 may choose 1 Spell of Legend or 5 normal 
spells or 2 temporal spells.  May learn spells normally, but do not like 
summoning magic (would rather use their own powers.)  PPE 2d20 plus IQ plus 
ME. (only 1d20 for Level 1.)  Add 2d12 per level. 

PSIONICS: Telepathy and Empathic Transmission (only works on animals and 
monsters.)  Good, Unprincipled, or Aberrant Callers also have Healing Touch 
while evil or anarchist have bio-manipulation.  ISP 50, add 10 per level 
(starts with 25 if at Level 1) 

TATTOOS: Choose 3 animal and 1 monster.  These are bestowed by the Caller's 
parent, who can only bestow the tattoos that he or she was given and will not 
bestow them upon anyone else unless they are to become Callers.  May get any 
new tattoos later, but double effects and duration of damage to the Caller for 
Weapon (simple or Magic) and Power tattoos. 

SKILLS: 
     Language: Dragonese (96% plus literate at 80%, drop literacy if at Level 
1.)  plus 1 other at 90% 
     HTH: Expert (may become Martial Arts at cost of 1 other skill or 
Assassin (evil only) at the cost of 2 other skills) 
     Horsemanship
(+20%) 
     Acrobatics and Gymnastics 
     WP: Blunt +2 other 
     Streetwise (drop if at Level 1) 
     Athletics General 
     Sing at Professional quality (often used to calm animals, which it can 
do at a percentage equal to 3/4 the normal percentage. Can also calm people at 
full percentile chance) MD, but only works on animals (veterinarian, so to 
speak.) 

OCC Related: Choose 2 more plus 1 at Level 5, 10, and 12 
Radio: Basic 
Domestic: Any

a roll to use the tattoo and another to get the animal do get the Caller out, 
and it only works
on things the creature can break) 
MILITARY: NONE
PHYSICAL: No types of fighting other than OCC skill, but WPs and athletic 
skills like running are allowed) 
Rogue: So long as it doesn't involve computers, any 
PILOT: Forget about Robots, PA, and APC's, but anything else.  
Same story for Pilot Related (no robot, PA, or APC stuff allowed)
Science: Any but MD in Cybernetics Technical: Same story as for
Rogue, no computers, but anything else 
WP: Any, but tends to use ancient weapons 
Wilderness: NO hunting or fishing (the nature of Callers causes them to 
absolutely HATE eating meat; they won't comment on others eating meat though) 
but anything else.  

POWERS: Can tame any animal (and, if caught at a VERY early age, like just 
born or hatchling, monsters) at a proficiency of 60% plus 2% per level. Can 
summon any creature or monster PPE: total possible damage in m.d.c./2+M.D.C 
armor/10=p.p.e.cost to call the creaturetechnique for calling monsters is 
learned the same way as spells, with a different technique for each creature.   
The Caller MUST
defeat that type of creature at least once before it can be summoned. only 
need a memento or a tattoo of the creature {more often a memento} . the 
monster if sentient must be of that alignment or gave consent . they start 
with 3 animals ,1 monster and, 2 lesser monster below . calls May have a 
familiar link like a Shifter . speaking of shifters a caller and a shifter can 
open a rift to an unknown plane or planet [in case someone is making some 
thing on espers and FF3] witch people other can people can go though. There's 
many creatures on this place {plain or planet} that know about callers and are 
willing to help. [note:there could be a natural rift open to that place.]
LIMITATIONS: If a called monster or creature dies, so does the Caller who 
summoned it.  THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE!  Same story for familiars, 
but the familiar will  otherwise live as long as the Caller A caller must be a 
human or true atlantean. 

ENHANCEMENTS: NO CYBERNETICE OR BIO-SYSTEMS!  Bio-wizardry is allowed, but a 
Caller will still only get this when ABSOLUTELY necessary, and ONLY to replace 
something that was lost, NO enhancements.  Even trying to get an enhancement 
will kill the Caller, though new things like arms may be added safely if used 
to replace a lost one.  Also, something peculiar: If an enhancement is added 
against the Caller's will (such as being turned into a Slave-Borg for the 
Coalition) the Caller will survive.
