I'm putting together a small advantage/disadvantage package for wizards in my new fantasy campaign. The campaign is DF-like, but not
quite so campy or over-the-top. Plus social situations, status etc will matter.
Wizards are meant to be rare and dangerous folk. From the campaign intro:
Quote:

Magic certainly exists, and the rulers of some major kingdoms are reputed to be mighty sorcerers. Yet normal people rarely if ever come into contact with magic, and would no doubt fear and shun it if they did. Anyone performing supernatural feats will be respected, but also feared and even reviled, even if the magic seems relatively benign in its effects.

To model this, I was
thinking of having wizard characters purchase a package looking something like this:
Quote:
Wizard Package
Unusual Background [10] (Wizard)
Magery 1 [15]
Social Regard 2 [10] (Powerful and mysterious Wizard)
Social Stigma [-10] (Unnatural and dangerous Wizard)

Does this make sense to folks? Or is there a better way?
