Funny. As a speaker of one of the more "rough" Germannic languages, I pronounce it as it is with hards g's and all. :) Same thing with the names in LotR:FotR, they had a more original Germannic sound to them - closer to the way Scandinavians would pronounce them..... -Zarrock

Re: Re: On alt classes and BOEM II Your description of NPC sorcerers brought one word to my mind almost instantly: Adepts..... -Zarrock

The main reason why these classes weren't done like this in the first place seems to be: 1. They were anxious how the many changes would be received. 2. Space considerations. Spellsongs and revised sorcerer spell-lists would have taken up too much space... I don't think Monte will be redoing...

A good call probably. Luckily I'm about to embark on two new campaigns. One RttToEE and my new Dragonstar campaign... -Zarrock

Re: oops... Yep, I got the info from Monte Cook's message board (The Malhavoc Press). The d6 for sorcerers was a qualified guess but turned out right... -Zarrock

Monte Cook has stated earlier that he thought Haste should have been placed as a 4th level spell for anyone to begin with.... -Zarrock

It's multiple choice - he doesn't need I'll use them All. I'll use all of them. I made a few tweaks to the Ranger (dropping high reflex, giving back d10 HD) but generally I think these classes are better than the PHB ones simply because more space and time were dedicated to each one. And in...

That's much too early to say - I'm sure Monte did his homework. Sorcerer's got a few more skills and d6 for HD - both of which makes perfect sense. The fact that the sorcerer's spell list is now much less versatile than wizards (and can't profit as much from metamagics and don't gain spell...

Prestige classes look really good. The are as follows: Diplomancer: Enchantment expert.. Eldritch Warrior: Warrior who hones his ability and equipment with magic but doesn't cast spells himself. Knight of the Chord: Musical Knights - now that's something new... Song Mage: The Song Mage from...

Bring'em on. Nothing I can't handle .... -Zarrock

I'm waiting too!!! I've been up since approx. 3 am Eastern time (before you ask I live in GMT+1). But now it's 12 am Eastern time - the book is two hours late!!! ;) Hope it's here soon.... -Zarrock

The picture on his site is actually pretty nice I think. While it may sound goofy - so do flying carpets - I'm actually getting curious as to what this thing does. Maybe a bard can countersong while attacking ;) -Zarrock

Easy now. No Swedish in public forums!!! :D

Think they fall under the Experimentation category. Spiderman didn't seem to be much of a sorcerer to me anyway :D -Zarrock

Well - I don't think it will include as many Evoc. spells as BoEMI - but that one had a virtual treat! Monte Cook is really good at making combo spells, though and you should expect some really cool spells. M. Cook posted 4 sample spells in his Line of Sight column - you should check that out...

Druids rock. Love DMing them and love playing'em. They have a HUGE niche in the FR world as well... -Zarrock

I too was looking forward mostly to the bards (the Soul Magi concept is intriguing though) - but this has really peaked my interest in the new sorcerer. About new ideas for sorcerers: Dragon 280 has quite a few other background ideas than just Dragon Blood. Mechanic wise it doesn't really...

This is going to be great: Well, first and foremost, I'm giving them a new spell list. Not drastically different, but rebalanced for the sorcerer's abilities--which are quite different from the wizard's. That means that some spells have gone away, some have changed level, etc. I've also...
