The plan is to use this blog to post various RPG related stuff, most likely pertaining some designing, house rules and stuff like that. Basically the same stuff I might as well post on the EN World forum, though with a less tighter focus on D&D only stuff.
You might see material I would usually hide on my hard disk and not bother to discuss on the forums, since it's to specific or not formulated well enough yet.
It's just an experiment, and we'll see if or when I give it up.

Truename Magic
Truename Multiclass Only Class
The following powers are only available via multiclassing into the Truename class.
Design Note
The encounter powers for the Truename multiclass usually use the word Fate in them. The idea behind this that every use of these is slightly manipulating the targets fate and showing his fate to him. If you know its truename, that is a lot easier for you. Therefore you don't expend the power if you have the truename.
The Daily powers are generally called Curses. You curse the very soul of the creature to suffering, and knowing its truename grants you a lot more power.
The Utility Powers are generally called something with The Named and are mostly benefitial to allies whose truename you know. A common assumption in Arcana Evolved and the Diamond Throne was that adventurers would eventuall share each others truename especially important since it was a prerequisite for raising someone from the dead.
I reserved Domination related powers to the Truename Paragon path.
While this is a multiclass only class, I don't actually have powers for every level of the class, just for every tier at the moment. Maybe that will change later.
