[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 795680, member: 70"] First off, I really liked the Emerald Sage. It was very nicely laid out; I particularly appreciate not placing two articles on one page. I've read through it once quickly, and a few things jumped out at me: 1) Jarn needs a history, and a Secret. He's pretty boring right now; 2) the skinshifter seemed underpowered. d6 hit points, a wizard's BAB progression, one good save, a VERY short spell list...the special abilities don't begin to balance it out. 3) Magic instruments. Good article. GREAT idea. No ranges (that I can find). Who do the ability enhancement powers enhance? Everyone within 100 ft.? Some kind of target discrimination should be possible, otherwise you'll buff your opponents as well as your friends. Extra activation should be priced according to the powers in the item, not as an ability itself. Most of the other powers need better definations regarding ranges, appropriate targets, saves, and exact effects. Looking forward to issue 2 Nell. PS - Any reason not to put it up on d20zine?
