Liber Veneficium from the Umbragia Setting has a new magic system with new classes: Mage, Minstrel and Touched, who cast spells with a manna point system, and feats are required for going the path to a very powerful arcane caster.

I think in Song and Silence. It's fainting as a move equivalent action and has a really high Dex requirement (something about Dex 19+).

Right. Only brutes with some bluff value. Everyone can try though. And feinting goes against sense motive, so brute against brute will have a 50%/50% chance. Certainly not enough to use it effectively...

My Bard performs for money. This is nice at low to mid levels, since - when being is a rich city - the bard character makes quite a good amount of money compared to the other characters. And a maxed out perform with a masterwork instrument gives quite good values at level 5.

I would allow bluff for feints, sense motive for feints, and sense motive generally, but probably penalties. Performing feints (and also detecting them) is more a combat maneuver, so a barbarian who uses them often could certainly do them instictively while raging, perhaps not as perfect, but...

You can also invest XP for other character improvement, e.g. a Wizard pays 25000 XP for a +5 in intelligence (5 wishes). What do you think about this?

You forget a very important aspect. 60% of all Amercians have German ancestors (if you do not believe me, just ask random Americans on a plane to the US!). So Germany's still got the lead.

Wow! That's right. I think I know what my Bard will learn next level.

Do you want to create a good fighter, or also an interesting character for role-playing outside of battles. If the latter is the case, you could make a rogue, who is really charismatic. Then max out skills like Bluff, Sense motive, Gather Information, etc. and be the one in the party who solves...

Hey, Germany's got the lead... --------------------------------------- Bayern hat verloren :D:D:D

Or to stay in D&D: Bards are often CG, and they often are the group leader in terms of knowledge and influential and social skills.

Come on. You certainly know more than 10 instruments!

If this is already the end of the end of the stroy for you, you cannot be role-playing. A character's alignment is no switch with 9 positions, which changes position, as soon as the character does something which is (from the DM's view) not exactly according to the current position. This is not...

Yes, if you use only the PHB...

I have to repeat the question from my previous post: Why is it important to know if this behaviour was evil? This is the key question, since the D&D alignment system is a guideline, not an ultimate truth. Technically it is only important for the impact of some divine spells or for some PrCs...

A manna based arcane system offers the Umbragia Setting (all free for download) inLiber Veneficium. The Umbragia system for divine spells is in work on the Umbragia Messageboards.

One Question to the Thread Starter One question: What do you need to know this for? I ask this, because the questions you pose cannot be answered unless one knows in which context you pose them. [EDIT: typos]

There's a cat-race in the Umbragia setting. Perhaps inspiring for you... The Book of Races is free for download.

Having caster level=class level will have a strong impact on all spell with duration 1 round/level, unless the Paladin/Ranger is really high level. This is the case since the 'typical' encounter lasts about 5 to 12 rounds. Having caster level=class level/2 significantly weakens such spells.

I'd say yes, but can you give a reasonable example, how this situation can happen?
