In the tradition of Dragon Magazine I'll be putting together some "new" Character Classes, or revamps of old ones, to fit the needs of the Campaign. These will be NPC classes and may not be balanced or optimized for Player Character use.
The Gylder NPC Class
Most professions found in the towns cities and settlements have organizations that teach regulate and protect the organization's members. These organizations are usually called gylds. There are gylds for Masons, Carpenters, clothiers, weavers, and so forth.
The gylded professions are usually taught from one generation to the next by means of the apprentice system. Professions are often beset by outsiders who either want to learn the trade without contributing to the gyld or others who try to take money from the gyld and its members through unfair taxation theft and the like. Thus many gylds will teach a proprietor some minor magics that range in power somewhere between Cantrips and second-level magic user spells. Only Grandmasters of a gyld might be able to cast a spell equivalent to a second-level magic-user spell.
The Gylder NPC Class is detailed here.
