[QUOTE="jameswilliamogle, post: 4095914, member: 47437"] OK, this is really old thread res, and I'm sorry for that, but I thought it the best place to question this. I'm playing a Shadowcaster using Ari's Modified version (post 2 this thread), and I was wondering if the following was intentional: Rule 3) allows one to jump around in order w/o requiring path-finishing (I think this is fine as is); Rule 4) requires one to know the two previous level's mysteries BEFORE learning the next higher one (I think this is fine as is); Rule 6) lets one swap mysteries like a sorcerer (I think there's a problem); Looking at that, this means that after gaining Greater Shadow Evocation at 11th, I could swap a L1-4 mystery for another L6 maneuver at L12 (like, Greater Shadow Evocation again, for example). ie, its like the Tome of Battle class's ability to lose previous prerequisite maneuvers to gain higher level maneuvers, as long as the prereq's are all met. Was this intentional? Is it even unbalancing? edit: NM! I see that sorcerers have to repick the same level spell when they relearn, so it doesn't work the way I thought. ********************* Also had a question w/o the modification: Favored Mystery bumps a mystery to the next highest level: spells to Sp, Sp to Su. It doesn't give extra uses per day (unless its an Su already). However, the class ability does give extra uses per day, and the only requirement for the extra uses is if the mystery is Sp or Su. Thus, although the feat doesn't give extra uses, the class ability does. Is this intentional? ********************** One other thing: does shadow evocation / greater shadow evocation still allow SR when it becomes an Su through the Favored Mystery feat? [/QUOTE]
