Mage of Many Styles

The mage of many styles combines magical and martial tactics. They try to hamper foes with black tentacles or confusion, switching to damaging spells like lightning bolt once their opponents are properly lined up. When engaged in melee, they make liberal use of shocking grasp and true strike to deal powerful blows.

The mage makes a fist Strike against a target within reach. If the Strike is successful, the target is subjected to the spell. If the spell required an attack roll, the target is hit automatically upon a successful Strike. If the spell required a saving throw, the target takes a –2 status penalty to its saving throw. If the spell could target multiple creatures, it targets only the creature the mage hit with their fist Strike.
