I, too, run homebrew exclusively, and just loot what I want from campaign specific books, but I believe that I'll use nearly all of Ptolus, probably as its own setting, rather (or as well as) in my own campaign.

I wonder, though, if there might not be an etymological relationship between duel and dual. In my mind, a duel includes only two adversaries. If the character archetype in question specializes in fighting only one opponent at a time, I think that this is the perfect name. Otherwise, I may...

edit: Ptolus has arrived! I can't wait. I hate to wish my life away, particularly my vacation, but I really, really look forward to getting my hot little hands on this deluxe product.

When I first created my campaign world years ago, the city where the campaign was focused included no less than three dragon NPCs in human form: • A great wyrm gold dragon who appeared as an aged human wizard served as a sponsor to several groups of adventurers. • An old silver dragon who poses...

Sorry, my books are tough to get to. Are Spell Thematics from Magic of Faerun?

Over a year now and I still want a cigarette.

Don't be frustrated by what others have said about your poll, Xath. It's all true. That's okay. You will have made "significant progress" with this, even if it lends skewed results. You may not, however, find what you set out to. What you are collecting is a highly non-randomized sampling...

Great stuff!

These are almost too silly for me, but I think my wife will be amused, since her female PC is amongst the most powerful spellcasters, and it offers an interesting potential conflict. These are both very cool - both very technical/scholarly sounding. This really is too much for me too endure, but...

As much as I can get.

Absolutely, but I am intrigued by the idea that someone challenges this notion. p.s. I just noticed your location. I'm from Landstuhl. My mother grew up in Pforzheim.

magical resistance of metal?

Awesome! That's perfect. It even ties in with campaign politics.

Anybody else have any feedback? Mainly, I just need topics on which a wizard might lecture. I can, if needed, come up with the lecturers' names.
