I usually give characters in my campaign either half maximum or half maximum + 1.

I like your third idea, but I'd do it differently. Allow wizards to cast spells outside their school, at reduced caster level, unless they take a feat. Of course you'll have to play around with the penalty to other schools (or bonus to the main school) depending on what you want to encourage...

There's a conversion of that monster on these boards (from long ago: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=12748 ), but I don't imagine it's particularly close to the original.

So the boon/bane could be represented as fractional LA added/subtracted from the character's effective level?

I don't think I properly understand. Could you give an example?

First of all, let me say that your divisions are fine now. It's a little lopsided, but so is the core system. Having said that, you're condensing schools, compressing 8 into 6. Light is fine (perhaps even strong), as are elementalism and alteration (since transmutation and evocation are...

Well, *I* thought it was funny.

Cool, thanks. How do you know that? In any case, I've never subscribed to WD so I only know about this secondhand. Gary Gygax wrote:

69.8 sextillion hit points (~7e22) if you use cubic feet instead (unworked stone, not wall of stone).

As we know from Pliny the Elder, the natural enemy of the dragon is the... elephant.

That's my favorite method as player and DM, although oddly when I'm DMing my players always insist on using some other system.

I think this is way too strong. Comparing to fireball and scorching ray: * 32.5 damage (17.5, 14) * Auto-hit (auto-hit, ranged touch) * No save (Ref half, none) * No energy resistance (fire, fire) * No SR (SR, SR) It's surely stronger than scorching ray, the strongest damage-dealing spell at...

I really like the spells. I think there's room for a 2nd-level spell, one that lobs glass globes at targets. Base it on scorching ray. Personally I'd keep damage the same but not allow targeting more than one at a given person (since energy resistance won't help), but there are other ways.

Not really, it seems fine and there isn't much to say. Temporalism seems weak, though.

What does Rapid Spell do there?

Do you have the White Dwarf issue introducing the flind? I'd love to get the issue #, author name, and maybe even a sentence/paragraph of original description.

I voted for the Sidhe, although I have appreciation of the Tolkien-style elf. I don't like the seelie/unseelie divisions; I prefer more nuanced approaches.

Wow, that's great!

I feel as you do on that point. I don't allow true resurrection or the others to bring back outsiders (other than native outsiders like 20th-level monks).
