Windtamer (Character Kit)

Windtamer (Wizard)
Windtamers are mages trained to integrate their magic with the operations of a windship. They are the only members of the crew not expected to participate in the day-to-day operation of the airship. Instead, they serve as navigators and use their magical abilities to aid the rest of the crew. Windtamers come from every level of Xakhun society; there are simply too few who inherit the drow’s magical abilities for it to be any other way.
There is one windtamer aboard a windship. Rarely, he will be accompanied by an apprentice (15% chance).Role: Windtamers keep much of their magic in reserve in case the ship itself is in danger. The Windtamers’ ability to maneuver a Xan Kraban makes them fearsome opponents.On board, Windtamers often act as the first mate and helmsman. Preferred Schools: Alteration, Enchantment/Charm, Gr. Divination, Illusion. 
Barred Schools: Windtamers can not cast spells from the schools of Conjuration/Summoning or Necromancy, regardless of which schools they choose to specialize in.
Requirements:  Windtamers must have an Intelligence of 15 or better, and like all windsailors, a Dexterity of at least 15.
Weapon Proficiencies:
* Required: Dagger
Non-weapon: Proficiencies:
* Bonus: Navigation. (Windtamers receive a +1 bonus to all Navigation proficiency checks.)

Special Benefits: Unlike most of the Xakhun, Windtamers have not lost the affinity for magic typical of their drow heritage. Once per day, a windtamer may levitate as the normal drow ability.
At 3rd level, windtamers gain the ability to cast feather fall once per day.
At 5th level, windtamers gain the ability to cast fly on themselves once per day.
At 12th level, windtamers can cast wind walk once per day.
Windtamers may move through the rigging of a Xan Kraban at half their movement rate with no penalty.
Special Hindrances: Windtamers spell restrictions are noted above (see Barred Schools). Further, they lack the ability to cast an additional spell of each level like other specialist mages.
