1st and 2nd Ed. Spells for 4th Ed.

[ren1999]

I realize now that I'm not trying to create a new class as much as I'm trying to convert spells from old adventure modules into 4th edition playable powers.

If anybody wants to give some harsh criticism or make suggestions, please have a look at this rough draft.

Hmm.

At first glance...

I'd change the 1d4 to a static bonus. Also, there's already a dispel magic power. I wouldn't use the version you have, as it's power source specific; that gets a little too hairy. (What about prayers, invocations, exploits, etc? If you allow it to target multiple power sources, why not all? Etc.)

[FONT=&quot]effect: targets are pushed a number of squares equal to the caster’s wisdom modifier and immobilized until the end of the caster’s next turn[/FONT]

Also, I think you left out what level these are supposed to be.

I've replaced 'spell level' with 'requirements:'. The real level differences are at 11th and 21st level for most of these spells.

 

[the Jester]

Well, I don't see those listed either.

It's awfully hard to rate these as 4e powers if they aren't fitting into the 4e framework- no levels, alignment based effects, etc.

I just gave them all to my sorcerer at 3rd level and told my DM that it was fine. Was that wrong of me?

Here, I'm testing a new class called the Fighter Wizard
Tell me what you think and make suggestions.
My ultimate goal is to simplify the game and put some of the old school back into it.
