Beyond Harchaon Hill

	Astrologer Description: The Astrologer is a surveyor of the heavens and taps into its power to guide and to defend. The Astrologer is a type of scientist/mage and has a deep respect for knowledge and the world around him. The player who portrays an Astrologer class must carry a deck of Tarot cards as part of his costume. The Astrologer is very limited in its fighting capabilities in that they are only able to wield daggers, spears and the bow and arrow. The Astrologer may wear any form of armor up to AC 2, but may only use bucklers as shields.
