    Was a unified Leveling XP chart a bad idea?

    A unified table is a good idea, no doubt about it IMO.

    Mmmm...Libris Mortis.

    Summon Undead II is a new 2nd lvl spell in LM... you can enter TrNec at 3/3.

    Nope, at least not "by the book", though certainly a DM can decide that you are eligible if you meet all the other requirements and it fits you (and your diety's) focus. Any Good Minimum +5 Will Save bonus Knowledge Religion 8 ranks Feat: Extra Turning Able to cast 2nd lvl Divine spells Able to...

    [Green Ronin] Advanced ___ series?

    None of the books are out yet. The Bestiary will be first, in about a month or so. The PHB will probably be out early next year, and the DMG sometime after that. You haven't missed them, but it's still going to be quite a while... Note that S&SS has already printed an "Advanced Players...

    Yes, all dual progression types sacrifice a bit in the short term in order to benefit in the long term. Meeting the entry requirements are where you are the weakest... a 6th lvl caster is much stronger than a 3/3 wizard cleric. Once you start gaining the dual progression, you begin to catch up...

    I haven't poured over every PrC in the book and added up the numbers, but the others don't seem as powerful as the TN, which really jumped out at me... Yes, the saves, attack, skill pts, etc are all equal to MT or Wizard, lowest possible.

    The Shining South

    I suppose they could be made into a PC... their Int is 12. There are no stats for making a PC, though the entry does mention that a Wizard may get one as a familiar by using the Improved Familiar feat. They can speak Common, but don't seem to have a society or culture of their own, really (but...

    The White Kingdom is mentioned very briefly as a layer of the Abyss where Doresain lives. None of the other things are mentioned.

    For someone who has been playing as long as I have, yeah, that's pretty new... ;) I meant new to 3e, though...

    Mmmm...Libris Mortis.

    One note: They changed the definition of Necromantic Potence. Back in Tome and Blood, where the TN first appeared, it allowed him to add all of his levels together when casting Necro spells. Now, it provides a flat bonus to caster level for all Necro spells: +1 CL at 3rd, +2 at 6th, +3 at...

    Weapons as special effects

    Also, I really like this idea, but I think I prefer a smoother, slightly slower damage progression. Personally, I'd go like this: ...d4, d6, d8, d10, 2d6, 2d8, 2d10 (or 3d6), 4d6, 5d6, 6d6... which corresponds to an average damage of 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 7, 9, 11, 14, 17.5, 21...

    Weapons as special effects

    If you did want to stick with the original list, you could say Unarmed is another catagory, like Light, Standard, and Heavy weapons. Unarmed is -2 dice categories on damage and is automatically Finessable like Light weapons. The benefit is that you don't have a weapon in your hands, meaning...

    Mmmm...Libris Mortis.

    True... but then the question becomes "Would you trade 2 9th lvl spells and a few dice of damage for spells of 6th-7th lvl and up, for access to the entire Divine spells list, an additional 120 spell levels per day (a 66% increase over a vanilla wizard), powerful rebuke undead ability...

    The Shining South

    Yes, half a page... that refers you to the Sacred Fist PrC from Complete Divine with the additional requirements that you be a LG Halfling worshipping Yondalla, from Luiren. Unless you own Complete Divine, it'll be of no use to you.

    Mmmm...Libris Mortis.

    Just wanted to correct you on 1 thing... a Cone of Cold cast by a 15th or 20th level caster is exactly identical. The range is a set 60' cone and doesn't increase with level. Damage is 1d6 per level, but to a max of 15d6. Saves are not affected by caster level. So they will be exactly the...

    The Shining South

    If it's any consolation, they are extremely powerful and expensive. They begin with 5 Monstrous Humanoid HD and a +2 level adjustment, meaning a 1st lvl Loxo counts as an 8th lvl character. Very few players will take such a deal, IMHO, leaving the Loxo to be most often found as NPCs... If you...

    The Shining South

    Let me give you the correct titles for these pictures: #1 illustrates a new regional feat, Ankheg Tribe Ambush. #2 is the Halruaan Elder PrC. #3 is the Halruuan Magehound PrC. #4 is the Crinti Shadow Maruader PrC. #5 is the Beguiler, a new monster. #6 the Guardian of the Crypt of Rindorn...

    Mmmm...Libris Mortis.

    That's why I included the number of "high level" (8th and 9th lvl spells) per day as well... 4/4 for a vanilla Wizard, either 3/0 or 2/1 for a Theurge, and 6/2 for a TrNec. And for Necromantic spells, the TrNec's caster level nearly matches that of a vanilla caster, 19 vs 20.

    Mmmm...Libris Mortis.

    A 20th level Wizard has a total of 180 spell levels worth of spells, not counting bonus spells for ability scores. That includes 4 8th lvl and 4 9th lvl. A 20th lvl Mystic Theurge with a 15/15 split has 242 spell levels including 3 8th lvl and no 9th lvl spells. A 17/13 split favoring Wizard...

    Mmmm...Libris Mortis.

    The difference is a Theurge only goes for 10 levels. That means that by 20th level, the character has only 10 double-caster progressions, and 10 singlecaster progressions. A True Nec works out exactly the same because it's a 14 level PrC... 10 single caster progressions and 10 double caster...
