My idea actually was: that form of art reaches the level of "true" magic (and thus have effect also on the PCs); same as the fact that Bard's songs can have the power of a real suggestion even if ordinary bluff skills have not. (The fact that Intimidate is a skill usable only on NPCs actually...

Very good. Maybe I'd cut down the casting time to 2 minutes + 1 min/level. For the spell list I think that also some spells of the Illusion school: Ghost sound, Ventryloquism Also I'd use fear-related and morale-related spells: Cause Fear, Scare, Fear, at 1 level higher than the normal. Also...

I've updated the simplified alchemist again. the url is the same: http://digilander.libero.it/gpetruc/crystaldawn/simpalchemy.html Now nearly all the rules are there, including the component list, a list of minor alchemical items (I've expanded the PHB list) and the item creation feats. I've...

Here is most of the simplified version of the class. I also tried to write down the explanatory parts in a clearer way. http://digilander.libero.it/gpetruc/crystaldawn/simpalchemy.html The component list is done (60 components) and I've made the generics: one for each spell level, greater...

Thanks for the Incredibly underpowered comment ;-) : I had absulutely no idea of what power they where. I'd make them more powerful and I'll post the new version. I wanted the rapier to be used by most of the civilized people in my world, but I don't know well how to make it more attractive...

I've started making the simplified version. I've cut down the component list (now 60), divided them by level, made the price and the chance to find them depending only on the level. With a proper sheet I think they shouldn't be too much to handle. I'm also trying to reduce the bookkeeping...

Thanks for the suggestion: I'll try to make it more simple. I've looked at the NBoC Alchemist, but it's nearly a Wizard (same spellcasting mechanics) while I wanted something different. (it doesn't even have a chance of failure !) The components are necessary as they are the only limit to the...

I've made a long feat chain for fencing (I'm making a renaissance campaign with much swashbuckling but for now I'm without Sword and Fist) Any suggestions/critiques are welcome Fencing Fencing is a fighting style that can be used with the following melee weapons: shortsword, rapier, dagger...

I've made an alchemist core class for a reinassance world where all the magic is in the form of alchemy. you can look at the first draft here: http://digilander.libero.it/gpetruc/crystaldawn/Alchemy.html I've also nearly finished the component list, and I'm beginning to assign to every spell...

1) Consider kobolds as an advanced race such as dwarves and gnomes (kobolds tend to be smarter than the dumb orcs). And now the kobolds with class levels are an obvious consequence. 2) Have a huge army of kobolds attack a weak human nation: PCs can't fight all the kobolds, they'll have to...

I know It does not have much use. The idea was mostly for fun (In the ancient ruined temple, the big nasty outsider is slowly appearing through the gate ... while the characters are all around the portal, the bard plays a fugue on the magical organ that makes the windows of painted glass...

I was thinking of a cool magical item for a bard: I wanted my bard to play a Pipe Organ but it's a bit too bulky to bring around so I though of this: Minimal Magical Organ When the command word is spoken this 5 inch model of a pipe organ becomes a beautiful full size pipe organ that is also...

The problem is that dominate requires a telepathical contact with the dominated creature, that does not suit my idea of the alchemist .

And this is the MS-Excel 97 format (should be readable also with OpenOffice)

Here is the spell list Here is the spell list (in txt format, tab separated values). I'm a bit unsure about some spells (such as scry), that probably should be cut off. What do you think ? Anybody knows where I can find a big list of possible spell components (for example big lists of...

Some replies: - Decipher script: added to the list - Crystals: I was thinking of Cogline (Shannara saga) when I put the crystals, and I forgot about psionics; talismans sound too arcane for me (and i find it not too suited for a "use once" item). maybe simply call them stones ? The time limit...

I'm creating a new setting in the reinassance times where magic has been forgotten and it has been replaced by Alchemy, but I 'm not sure on how to do it. Ideas I'll summarize the main ideas: - The only "spellcasters" are the alchemists - Alchemy should as less arcane as possible: I'd like to...

I'm having lots of problems to design a plotline where a powerful, good aligned, NPC wizard is killed. The problem is not how to kill him (a good poison, and a bit of link) but how to keep him dead! If he's known to be good and wealthy when he'll die probably some good-aligned cleric would...

the fact that maybe 1d6 damage is much for a tiny weapon is probably true, but still I think that a hand crossbow should be better than a plain dagger (otherwise without poison a hand crossbow is nearly useless unless against kobolds). The idea of mixing crossbow tipes in the double crossbow is...
