I would like to preface this class by saying that I was just sitting around and the idea came to me for a fun base class that is based around one of my favorite first level spells. So without further ado...
THE MISSILE MANIAC
Missile Maniacs are very similar to sorcerers, except that their blood flows only with the power Force. They become transfixed with expelling this power, and turning it into a formidable weapon. As they develop and make their missiles stronger, they tend to just want to blast any foe in sight without pause, and as a result most Missile Maniacs are Chaotic in nature.
