Battlemage and Races

Rasa

Predispositions

Commentary

Elf

None

Completely different predispositions. No connection between the innate dexterity and any of the class's attributes.

Human

None

Just like in the case of Elf. You can try it, but any other race of better predispositions will be much better for this class.

Dwarf

Moderate

Thanks to the passive bonus to strength, Dwarf can be a very good Battlemage. Of course, the balance in using abilities will be slightly distorted here.

Lizard

High

In this case, this class will not be used to its full potential, but Lizard's innate abilities allow you a chance of obtaining desired results.

Which abilities are worth choosing?

A Battlemage has access to two schools (Aerotheurge and Warfare) which means that they can select from 8 starting abilities. However, a character with this class starts with the best available abilities so there is no point in changing anything. This will only lower this character's effectiveness in battles. Because of that you should use Shocking Touch, Battering Ram and Blinding Radiance abilities.
