Editing Azuth (section)

===Jordain Vizier===
Eunuch advisors in the [[Magical Realm]] of Halruaa who serve in the name of Azuth or Mystra directly. They are forbidden from learning how to cast spells themselves but are expected to have encyclopaedic understandings of magical knowledge. This means that even though Jordain are selected at a very young age, they need a huge amount of skills to qualify, so they typically start as [[Rogue]]s, [[Monk]]s or Experts.

The class provides inbuilt magical ''nondetection'', Spell Resistance, magical knowledge ''(read "Bardic knowledge")'' and small boosts to attack rolls. Most interestingly, the class comes with the ability to counterspell a number of times equal to their class level + CHA bonus, even without the ability to cast spells of their own, which is awesome because they won't need to have specific spells prepared for such eventualities, or run down prepared spells ''(because they have none)''.

As mentioned, they are forbidden from learning to cast spells themselves ''(though that hasn't stopped one character in the books from being a [[Sorcerer]] and doing it instinctively)'' They also get rendered sterile, because the the elixirs and rituals that transform them into Jordain change them fundamentally and the magical government would prefer magically resistant genes not to enter the general population without being controlled.
