Arcane Commando

Sometime in 2024, my table will begin an adventure set in Dragonstar's galactic empire ruled by the iron fist of the red dragons and using the Savage Worlds ruleset. Since not all players are familiar with the setting, I drew up a set of archetypes using the Starfarer's Companion, Guide to the Galaxy, and Players Companion as resources. This is the first of those archetypes.

In the Dragonstar universe, Arcane Commandos are magic-using soldiers in the Imperial Legion. They are presented here as a Seasoned archetype using the Savage Worlds system.
