I wanted to make an NPC class for scholars of magic/magical researchers. A kind of non-combat mage in some ways similar to magewrights from Eberron but where magewrights (is that two words?) are everyman/working mages I wanted to make the people who specialize in researching/teaching magic. So I was wondering 1) if this has already been done (preferably well) and if so where I could find it; and 2) if anyone here had any advice on building one?
I was thinking about worse than 1/2 levels BAB (either a flat 0 or something like 1/3 or 1/4), 4 + Int skill points, bard-like casting for Divinations, and limited buffs/debuffs/bc as well as even worse casting for direct attack spells (including save or sucks, and charm style effects if they get any), bonuses to certain skills, etc. Kind of a non-adventuring wizard.
I'll hopefully begin really building the class and posting its table tomorrow but I'm going to bed in ~5 minutes so I don't have time tonight.
If anyone has advice, though, please feel free to pitch in.
