    Elements of Magic - Spell Creation and Critique

    Isn't this enough? "Target: A creature, object, or point in space." You have a reach of at least 5 ft. for cantrips. Another question: "You can overspend MP for range." What do you mean with that? I would have thought as an alternative rule, that you can pay two cantrips and get a range of 30...

    Creature Types/Subtypes & Classification

    Arg, again beaten, before I could post the idea with bane weapons and the charm types. :] Anyways, alone folding types together makes the existing spells more powerful - check Charm Person. Now this spell affects Monstrous Humanoids, too. Maybe for this spell it is okay, maybe it should be upped...

    Elements of Magic - Spell Creation and Critique

    I didn't posted anything - I simply deleted some superflous material, I came across. But that reminds me- instead the simple copy/paste-technic, could you remove/change text, which is more commentary? If I want to use such a spell, then I would have to ignore such things anyway, and it would...

    Elements of Magic - Spell Creation and Critique

    Archus: I see, that your OGL on ArcaneArcade isn't correct. You have to include at paragraph 15 everything found at the place in EoMR and to mention that the materials are from EoMR or respectively from the creator, unless nothing is mentioned. IANAL, so please check it with someone else, you...

    Note to self - things to fix for EOM

    How about including swift and immediate actions from the psionics? This rule change gets propagated further and further at Wizards - from the Miniatures Handbook over XPH to Complete Arcane. It will be only a time, then will be Quicken Spell officially changed to this rule - why not doing it...

    How would you rule it, if someone uses Intensify Lightning?

    Creature Types/Subtypes & Classification

    That kind of thing you get, if you stay awake too long. :( After rethinking, I actually mean something like Nellsir for Animals. You caught also that with the Vermins - I wanted to post that, too, but would have it forgotten by now... Nellsir: Your proposal is really progressive. I have to...

    Note to self - things to fix for EOM

    Because I am in the long process of creating a FAQ-file, both for having all questions on one place and finding unanswered questions, I've discovered the post of PugioilAudacio, which you have answered, but you never have incorporated the uncovered errors. Consider it as a first batch, because I...

    Creature Types/Subtypes & Classification

    I'm impressed - that is the most far reaching attempt so far. Equine or not equine... At least under your attempt it seems out place. How would you place the Gynosphinx? Still as a magical beast? To the Humanoid template: Isn't there such a template in Savage Species? Can we create one of our...

    Lyceian Arcana teasers

    RangerWickett, could you please look into the post no. 9 and look, if you haven't something forgotten for your revision? Like a better basic explanation or the removing the double of the "regaining of magic points" explanation?

    Creature Types/Subtypes & Classification

    Very convincing. I don't understand the bold-faced text. What is an elemental D&D exactly? For the elements, I have already a solution - Elements of Magic Revised. With 22 elements it covers all end everything, what you will find in D&D. But that is more a minor aspect, because EoMR is a...

    Could you explain that more? What types seem to you arbitray?

    Creature Types/Subtypes & Classification

    What is the difference between a centaur and a harpy? Why wouldn't you use Equine on centaurs, but Avian on harpies?

    Creature Types/Subtypes & Classification

    Agreed, but a horse should be still something like "Animal (Mammalian, Equine)" - the kind of the last subtype is only usable for distinction. Oh, what can a bloodmare and this Ghostwalk template do to horses? And are those effects acceptable, if used on a centaur? Otherwise the idea from Voadam...

    Creature Types/Subtypes & Classification

    Okay, while I can understand your first point completely (the main difference between Giants and Humanoids is, that the first all have low-light vision, the rest can be easily consilodated), I think, that merging Dragons with Magical Beast weakens the Dragons strongly - only a d10, a lost good...

    Hi U_K! Maybe you like this thread? It is about the creature type system and how it could be improved. http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=105724

    Spells with Prerequisites?

    Instead revamping the entire magic system yourself, look at Elements of Magic Revised at RPGnow. It is based on a combination of spell lists and magic points, so it is not a simple change compared to the core rules. While spell lists themselves don't have any prerequisites, they allow only a...

    The inner workings of E.N. Publishing?

    While I like the idea and I don't want to be snarky or the like, but before you write something like this, please answer the posts in other threads next. We have been waiting several weeks for you. Thanks in advance!

    What's the biggest challenge / frustration in your game?

    While I don't know, if it is the kind of rules, you're looking for, I recommend Elements of Magic Revised on RPGnow. Its feel is adaptable and it is at least cohesive.
