Thanks, that clarifies things. I hope the EOM II incoludes a wider Boon list and some hints on how to create our own. Some of them seem pretty straight forward, but others, (like the animagus) are pretty tricky. S

I don't think a Sorcerer is anywhere near as powerful. Take a 5th level caster. Mage - 20 SL - 14MP Suppose I take four spell-lists. Compel (animal, humanoid, giant, magical beast). I still have 16 other spell-lists to choose from. I can duplicate the effects of the following spells: Charm...

Granted Compel (Creature) has some limitations greater than comparable CORE spells, but it seems quite the Utility belt spell. It encompasses- Suggestion Sleep Hold Repulsion/Sympathy to name a few. I am inclined to think those ought all to be separate spell-lists. One for sleep effects...

CyberZombie back on Line- Bump Since Cyber Zombie is apparantly back online I am bumping this thread. A bunch of new questions in here.

Will the FAQ explain multiclassing? Ro can someone answer this question here. I like the idea that multiclassing is more desirable in EoM than the Core books. And I understand that spellcasting levels add. What I don't understand is how class limitations affect each other. Ex. I take two...

and I haven't really figured what this would do for the other elements. I think Shadow would work well for simulating darkness, air for the various wind spells (gust of wind, control winds), life for a bless or prayer spell, etc.. Some of them, like Acid, Bio-Matter, Crystal et.. are a bit...

Delete me. The site won't let me.

How can we duplicate the Light Spell? I would say Create Elemental Object (but that would be a very limited version of the spell) It would only last a round/level until 2nd level, and then only 1 minute/level. I think there are ought to be a spell that just produces the Elemental Side Effects...

Reflex saves Not that I can find. Saves in general are conceptually unclear. Reflex in particular. Sleep is one condition, how about Stunned?, Held?, Helpless? Presumably none of those conditions allow you to do anything. Still, it would be the only save that had such obvious circumstance...

FAQ Add some questions.. - Will Black & White Mages get boons? - Should Rangers get light armored casting? -Same questions for Red and Grey Mages? - Should Elves get one of the Mage classes (Black or White) as a favored class to make up for losing wizards? - So the shadows side effects of evoke...

I think the soften earth and stone seems a logical application of the polymorph element spell, and it would be a minor change in type. ---------------------------------------- As to the summon animal. In my campaign I've gotten rid of the Outsider category (there are no outer planes in my...

A priori judgments My experience has been that figuring out the relative power levels of progressions like this are not easily done a priori. You are right the 20 - 9th level spells sounds pretty good. But with the relative ease (and low cost) of counterspelling, I am not sure that many spells...

polymorph? I think reduce and enlarge are significantly specific to warrant their own spell. I've been trying to make a suitable spell list for them. Here is a rough sketch I made. Alter (objects or creature's) Size Transmutation Range - Close Save - Negates SR - Yes Multitarget - Yes Level...

Different Take This wouldn't cover all your cases. But I was thinking of an effect the system seems well suited for. I was thinking of the idea of feeding Magic Points into active spells. If a spell is active, the player could after having cast it, feed a certain amount of Magic Points into...

Custom Spells? I think, thuogh I don't have my EoM handy, that the more major curses are permanent. And the structure of the spelllist system seems to encourage minor modifications. You could make a curse which had a simple, perhaps ironic solution (like being kissed), but maybe had penalties...

I've now had a little time to digest "The Elements of Magic." I am impressed with it, and see a lot of potential in this system. The first thing I needed to do was get my mind out of the D&D core mindset. Trying to duplicate the spells in the core books with this system, while possible, is...

ultmatums I didn't mean to sound pissy.. I am a big supporter of the small press, and I think the idea of PDF sales is a great thing. I have made it a point not to duplicate it, but made my players buy them all. I whole heartedly salute Nat20. I think it will be a good system, I just wish it...

Is it my imagination, or are replies and threads disappearing at an alarming and unexplainable rate? Is there some server trouble at ENWORLD? Just wondering.. Steve

Reviews Hmm. You think this will get them working on a FAQ or Errata? Maybe a review that says something like.. I'd love to recommend this system if only they would post a FAQ? You might have something there.

I am 200% behind r-kelleg on this. We need the FAQ. I want my players to make characters but I don't know how many Boons they get, unless they play Mages. Do the other abilities of the sub-classes act like pre-desognated boons? If not a FAQ.. how about some definitive answers from the...
