The Arcane Gladiator is a Magewright with a background in martial contests which not only taught you spellcasting to aid in your survival and rise to fame, but also taught you to use a martial weapon as well as light and medium armor proficiency in the place of tool and language proficiencies. Perhaps you were sent to the gladiatorial ring as a result of a debt to society, or just plain sold by an evil bandit slave trader into underworld tournaments from which you had to earn your freedom and vowed revenge, or perhaps you are simply a vain prize fighter. In any case, this background includes skill and weapon proficiency options, as well as light and medium armor proficiency, starting equipment, 4 rollable tables to help you get to know your character's background and a relevant spell list including 4 new spells from the Animancy Press Catalogue.
