    [Elements Revised] Spell list fixes - proposed

    I'll second this sentiment. It was my original one, then I wavered but now I'm back. I never found using Divination to translate awkward. The Divination skill can be seen as "getting information or knowledge" and language is a form of language or knowledge. You could still use Compel...

    Elements of Magic - Spell Creation and Critique

    I've been totally caught up in preparing for finals, working, and preparing to travel to Prague in March that I haven't done any work on the wiki site in a while. I'll try to review these spells soon, but feel free to post them anytime - they can always be modified later. And as RangerWickett...

    [Elements Revised] Spell list fixes - proposed

    Overall I like the additions, here are some specific comments. * I was worried about Translate [Creature] because it seemed to take up a whole list for not much value. Once I saw that there would be a single Translate list I was happier. But I can see some value in Translate [Creature] to...

    Core spell conversions to EoM:R?

    I think its worthwhile to try converting as many spells as we can, because it will make migration easier. I'm taking your suggestion and moving the d20 spells to their own list. Then I'm starting at the low level spells and just starting to convert...

    Elements of Magic: Questions for the Designer

    Limited Spells and Enlarge/Reduce I'm working on converting some d20 core spells and have a few questions/comments. Having some MP reductions for limited spells would be useful. I'm looking at a Hold Portal spell in EoMR. Move Force 2/Gen 1 to get a 25 strength holding a portal closed 30...

    Core spell conversions to EoM:R?

    I'm really looking forward to L.A. - when can I expect it? :cool: I'm planning on chipping away at the d20 core spells, but the main reason I made the wiki page is so a community can work on it. If 10 people only did 10 spells, that would be 100 spells. I'm also noticing that many spells...

    Core spell conversions to EoM:R?

    I split the spells into new spells and d20 conversions. Since I didn't want to rename a bunch of pages the new spells are {{Spells}} and the d20 spells are {{D20Spells}} and there is a page {{AllSpells}} that links to to two of them and has instructions. Right now I'm trying to prep for some...

    Core spell conversions to EoM:R?

    I've put togeter a wiki page with all of the spells posted to these forums plus a few spells of my own (mostly generic ones like Magic Ball - to be made into Fireball or whatever). My plan was to clean up the spells some to remove duplication and then start adding spells from the core rules for...

    Elements of Magic: Questions for the Designer

    It is my understanding that the list and their reverse are really just one list (none of the iconic mages have the reverse spell lists). So when you take Abjure Force, you have both Abjure and Hex. If that is an accurate statement, they should only count as one list toward Expertise or Mastery.

    Elements of Magic - Spell Creation and Critique

    Mageknights don't need to be religious at all. I was planning on making an order of swordmages Mageknight. Spells to boost defenses, movement, and damage being the order of the day. You could even make an unarmed specalist with spells to boost damage - although I'd really like to make a...

    Elements of Magic - Spell Creation and Critique

    I like this method much better than the one I proposed. I knew that general enhancement MP reduciton would just make everything more powerful but for some reason the cost of range bothers me (easily fixed as a house rule to make it Touch 0 MP, 800 ft 1MP if I wanted - or just use scry). I...

    EOM - Lyceian Arcana requestish thing: Is this broken?

    A few comments: Having 1/2 the XP return when the spell is finished seems like some tedious book-keeping that only really effects player characters (NPCs have as much XP as the GM cares to give them), but I understand why. By having the xp only return when the spell is ended, you avoid having...

    Elements of Magic - Spell Creation and Critique

    When put in light of having a range of 5 ft it may not bother me much - or I'm just going with my final option of quitting my whining. While you can't get cantrips that have a real range and have to spend more than I think is justified for range - you can do things that you can't in normal d20...

    Elements of Magic - Spell Creation and Critique

    I was going to clean-up the spells some, but the first round was just to pull over everything I could find. My cleanup will include renaming some spells, cleaning up and unifying their formats, and removing some duplicate spells. I'll probably favor one fairly generic "Magic Dart (Evoke...

    Elements of Magic - Spell Creation and Critique

    I'll fix the OGL when I'm a bit more awake (you are welcome to fix it if you wish ;) but for now I pulled the one out of EoMR along with the section from the credits. Since everything in the book is OGL (except for some phrases and art), I could pull all of the spells from the book out into...

    Elements of Magic - Spell Creation and Critique

    In that case I'd probably give the invisible person the 50% miss chance. Even though you have totally disbelieved the invisibility spell because the person is covered in "paint", some part of your mind still thinks they are invisible and you keep hearing this little voice that says "there isn't...

    Elements of Magic - Spell Creation and Critique

    Reading the section of that article on marking invisible foes with flour, it looks like it would just make them visible so you wouldn't suffer any miss chance. They would get a reflex save to avoid the flour. It really would make no sense to suffer a miss chance to hit the humanoid shaped area...

    Elements of Magic - Spell Creation and Critique

    Using Elemental object enhancement could end up being outrageously expensive for what the spell does (since the same MP cost could create a ring of solid fire to burn people to a crisp or a wall of solid death). But I don't think that covering an invisible person with flour would help much...

    Lyceian Arcana teasers

    Actually I agree. There are too many prestige classes that basically give you what multiclassing should handle. That is why I remove multiclassing restrictions and try to save prestige classes for what fits in the world. I'll also be using something from the Unearthed Arcana and granting...

    Elements of Magic - Spell Creation and Critique

    RulesMaster had it right on the definition of wiki. Anyeone is allowed to just edit the pages right there in the web browser. I'm hopeing that I can get some interest in others posting their spells, rules, feats, etc. If nothing else it will give me material to work with for my game. Posting...
