I was going to post: Simple rule for defiling? Only defilers can upcast spells.

The object is always greener on the other side of the fence. (I kid I kid...I couldn't resist...no harm no foul?)

How do you tell the difference between the two?

Paizo were the publishers of Dragon Magazine, and had access to an entire database of subscribers.

Same, but I kinda would like to play my original Zeppelin and Aerosmith albums.

Brilliant, the Dwarven/Norse culture will be limited by how many they know (on a personal level, as divine understanding should be) And the Imperial culture will be limited by how many they can "empower" at a time (based on individual powah!) Wont be replying until tomottow, thinking and...

What if Rune Initiate allowed Glyph of Warding to be cast as a ritual, and Symbol to be cast as an action?

I think giving some of the Rune Knight abilities to a cleric "domain" might just cover everything I need for the Dwarven /Norse culture (no dwarven wizards!) So if I can tweak my Rune Initiate, and make some customs spells, that will cover the Imperial Culture rune tradition. (I use some of the...

Yeah, I'm thinking giving access to a runic spell list might carry a lot of the weight, and maybe two feats that grant ways to modify runes may be the way. I could give the unique spells to any class (bard, cleric, wizard etc,) that "studied" that tradition.

Cool idea of course. The Rune knight is the giantish form of runes in my homebrew, I'm trying to make an opposing "scientific" tradition, and thought using Glyph of Warding as a template would do it.

Casting as a ritual (10 minutes) might do the trick, it would still be gated by material component.

So you can take this at 4th level, and gain the ability to cast a third level spell without expending a slot. Thats a level early (normally 5th to cast a 3rd level spell) (Humor link: Order of the Stick (Up a Level) And an attribute bonus. But it feels...lacking. Anyone that meets the...
