Powers, Skills, and Attributes

Powers

Blade Magic - As a blademage Rychard is well versed the use of magic to enhance or alter his attacks. For instance, he has mastered the ability to add fire or electricity to his sword strikes. He can also use his sword as a conduit to make attacks at range, by firing a series of magical bolts from his sword. In addition he has learned to use his magic to weave a number of effects that are useful both on and off the battlefield.
Arcane Duelist Tricks - He is also trained to use magic to gain a direct tactical advantage by either altering the way he interacts with the battlefield or granting himself abilities that give him the upper hand.

Skills

Enchanting Items - The ability to craft and enchant items to enhance and boost his natural abilities is a common and important skill for blademages to master.
A Scientific Education - Having always been curious about the way the world works on a fundamental level, Rychard has completed doctorate level studies of several physical sciences, and has even taught a course on the intersection of magical structures and engineering principles, and the gestalts that can arise between the two.
A Facility With Languages - Fluent in eight different languages of Earth, Rychard shows remarkable ability with languages that he had never heard before coming to this dimension.
Martial Arts - Having trained in the Way of the Blademage, a purely physical style that is designed to complement his magical abilities, Rychard is capable of taking on many threats using only his blade. His fighting style is designed to be fast and defensive, while still granting him many options to deal with aggressors as he chooses.

Attributes

Intelligence - Despite how he relies on and take great pride in his intelligence, Rychard is in many ways, handicapped and isolated by his vast intellect, and is just now realizing that his overuse of his brain-boosting headband is just exacerbating the situation with his friends.
Naturally Acrobatic - His capacity for leaping and flipping about is very useful in combat, often making his attacks hard to predict.
Elven Senses - The fabled acuity of elven senses gives him the ability to see in the dark, easily spot and hear things at great distance, and grants greatly expanded peripheral vision.
Elven Longevity - As an elf, he also ages at 1/20th the rate of humans, and does not need to sleep.

Gear and Equipment

Gear

Intelligent Scimitar(Thae'Zamiir) - This blade acts as a mentor and adviser to Rychard, teaching him how to fight even better and warning him when there is danger. However, when it comes to demons, it is utterly irrational and demands that Rychard tracks them down and slays them. This sometimes puts a strain on their friendship, as it will, at times be at odds with the current mission, or lead to delays. Recently, Rychard has discovered that the local cosmology means that the demons he "kills" are just sent back to the Nether, to recuperate. He has thus far fail to convince Thae'zamiir of this fact.
Enchanted Gear - As a blademage, Rychard has a collection of personally enchanted items that he has customized to work well with his magic. This manifests in two ways, first there is the base enchantments that will work for anyone who puts the item on. However, each enchantment has a second level, one that only works for Rychard, and only while he holds the enchantment active in his mind. For more details, see Arcane Panoply.

Arcane Panoply

Magi's Ward - This enchanted breastplate, when donned, expands across the entire body, protecting all vital areas. It also causes the skin to harden on being struck. In addition, it can project a force field that turns aside physical and magical attacks alike. The armor itself is more effective vs. non-magical attacks.
Psyche Guardian - A helm that has been enchanted to protect his mind, it also lets him identify and communicate with nearby minds.
Eyes of the Eldritch - These magical spectacles supply several enchantments related to sight, like the ability to see magic, a visual catalog of everything around him and protection from light-blindness
Mantle of Terrible Authority - This cape amplifies Rychard's natural presence in order to allow him to convince people to follow his commands. It also protects him from the same, and allows him to imbue his verbal commands with physical force.
Thunder Gauntlets - These enchanted gloves are intended to augment the wearer's strength and also grant the ability to punch through most material in order to traverse through walls and floors.
Lightning Greaves - Enchanted to grant agility and enhanced reflexes, these greaves allow the user to react with the speed of a lightning bolt.
Bracers of Action - These vambracers allow him to multitask and accomplish tasks faster, increasing his ability to act and end fights faster.
Ring of the Stout Persona - The enchantment on this ring both blunts the effects of mind powers and and empowers his accuracy with mental powers of his own.
Headband of Endless Intellect - This headband is enchanted to grant a twofold boost to intelligence, one constant, and the other on an as-needed basis. However, the demands that his day job places on him has lead Rychard to overuse the secondary enchantment, in order to maintain his capacity to invent.
Girdle of Esoteric Staunching - This belt grants an preternatural ability to recover from wounds and makes it so that grievous wounds do not hamper him as much as the should.
Clasp of Energy - An amulet that bestows immense stores of energy and amazing restorative capacity.
