Dragonlance Dragonlance "Reimagined".

They don't take away all their magic. Multiple examples show this. I don't know where you're getting that from.

Towers of High Sorcery

The Towers of High Sorcery were built as places for Wizards of all three types of High Sorcery to come and study. The Towers were built by having three wizards, one from each order, come together with a Stone of Threes on a pre-selected site. The pre-selected sites originally were Wayreth...

Test of High Sorcery

The Test of High Sorcery was created by the first Three mages, Corenthas, Eriane, and Shaud, in order to make sure that those who did not have self-control did not have access to High Sorcery. Those who wish to take the Test, must first be apprenticed to one who is a master in magic. Once the...

After the apprentice has been invited, they will travel with one companion to the Tower of Wayreth. The Wayreth Forest will find them, and allow them to continue on to the Tower. Once there, they are given one day to prepare, and the Highmage will erase all the memories of magical training.

here you go

the Highmage will erase all the memories of magical training.

Because then it wouldn't be Dragonlance. It would be a homebrew setting that you like more. That's awesome! Play that setting.

Dragon lance can't be fixed is what you are saying? why would we need to reprint let alone reimagine it then?

but it was made 35 maybe 40 years ago, if we are reimagining why are we stuck with 40 year old ideas?

that's fine... then don't call them good. Good is a word it has meaning/

or... just don't make a dumb tower test that is lethal.

make them more like hogworts houses one is brave one is ambitus... you can be good and ambitus black robe, and evil and brave white robe

Well, I am against the idea of a "reimagining" at all, so the whole concept is flawed to me.

Good does have meaning. A lot of meanings, actually, and those meanings have changed over time.

Your school houses idea is great...for a new setting, which I will continue to stump for.

We don't need to reimagine it. The Dragonlance Nexus already released an excellent set of 5e updates. Otherwise, just let it lie.

The wiki conflicts with at least one primary source. I'll point you to The Last Tower: The Legacy of Raistlin boxed set, book two, chapter three, under the section titled "Tests in Past Ages" (i.e. before the Fifth Age), second bullet point:

Every Test features at least three challenges to examine the mage's knowledge and use of magic. During these challenges, the wizard had to cast every spell he knew.

That flies in the face of the novels, where both Raistlin and Palin use magic in their Tests.

Except you're advocating for discriminating against them before they do anything, since you're purporting that simply pinging on a detect evil spell is sufficient to exclude them from having a say. That level of intolerance doesn't strike me as being Good, but I suppose YMMV.

what are you talking about? there is no way to magicaly detect alignment. No one is saying "Hey that 1 or 2 good liers got past" is a problem it;s 1/3 of all them are evil that is... I assume they don't all hide there natural thoughts and tendencies 24/7.

Your summary is inaccurate. The mages do not kill people; telling someone that they have to run through a live-fire exercise in order to be licensed is not the same thing as killing them. Hence, no one is being "made to kill people," good or otherwise.

if they have 3rd level spells your choice is hunted like a dog, being killed, or going through a test that even if he passes leaves PTSD of it, but could kill you.

That's an unfortunate reality when you have to show that you can use live ordinance.

no it isn't... heck you can use paintball guns for god sake.

This is not accurate to what I remember. For instance, Raistlin cast a burning hands spell during his Test.

I never use him as my go to... but yest he didn't loose his but the books say they do.

Which will immediately be opposed by the self-selected evil organization, resulting in wide-spread magical warfare.

yes where the good guys try to protect the people and evil people act evil...

I'm of the opinion that part of a Good alignment would want to reduce the chances of large-scale fighting, with its unavoidable killing of civilians, as much as possible. As opposed to the absolutist "MUST DESTROY ALL EVIL, NO MATTER THE COSTS!" take on it.

nobody said "MUST DESTROY ALL EVIL" (except maybe the paly of vengeance)

then why publish anything else... you got what you wanted. if WotC is going to reimagine, we might aw well fix it and let others keep what they have

Exactly. If they insist on changing the setting, why bother publishing it?

to update and reimagine it.
I don't want or need to get a new star trek show that shot for shot repeats episodes of the original series (or next gen) but I love discovery and strange new worlds
