    What inspired the D&D magic rules and do you like it?

    Hmm, I see, what you are getting at, but I am not convinced, that this is as balanced as EoMR. Yet I would have to the entire system to form an opinion. Great! Simply great! There is no other way to describe it - LA takes EoMR to another level. I was perplexed reading of those ideas. If...

    What inspired the D&D magic rules and do you like it?

    You are more or less describing "Elements of Magic Revised". You learn spell lists, which consist of a noun and a verb, like "Evoke Fire" or "Summon Outsider". The actual spells are the combination of enhancements, which you gain access through the known spell lists. One spell list is "General"...

    The (new) Immortals Handbook Thread

    How do you count "in one month"? 28 days? Equally valid as "increase the month by one", but isn't it a bit late to discuss that now - or the rules of this game in general after it has ended? Since the interpretation of CRGreathouse you had time to voice your concern, but you didn't - and no one...

    Elements of Magic Balance Issues

    There isn't really that much difference in experience between us, unless you are DMing the first time. This situation isn't simple as abusive as one can think, because it depends on the available resources, too. You have to consider, that mages shouldn't fire only the most powerful spells being...

    Elements of Magic Balance Issues

    I'm asssuming, that a plate is the full-plate and not the half-plate, which results in +8 armor bonus. I'll assume Dodge (without being conditional for simplicity) and Dex 13+, so we have an unenhanced AC of 20. Two spells in two rounds make that to an AC of 28. Monsters with 5 HD and some...

    Elements of Magic Balance Issues

    I'm following dekrass. In the rules are only signature spells or spells form spell lists with Improved Signature Spell castable with a standard action. Because a signature spell can be any castable spell, cantrips are included. It is that simple.

    Elements of Magic Balance Issues

    What Abjure options do you mean exactly? Abjure Force and Nature for a better AC? This equals with two 20 MP spells in a +19 for 10 minutes - casting them as signature spells before 20th level is only possibly, if you spend two feats on that. Ritual casting takes too long - except maybe (I...

    Challenge Ratings pdf discussion thread

    I take this one: A template doesn't include size adjustments, because those adjustments are included with the base creature. Thus a template is a simple package of some abilities with a certain cost applied to it.

    Magic/Psionics

    I'm using Elements of Magic Revised + Lyceian Arcana, so magic and psionics aren't only transparent, but use nearly the same mechanics - only one extra feat for the special psionics feel, like in Arcana Unearthed. [off-topic] To Arbiter of Wyrms: IIRC, then you planned to write a PDF about...

    Why no index is new WotC books? *Update: Received "official" answer... kinda...*

    Reading this, I have to say, that the publishers use simply the wrong programs. With LaTeX one has only to add the command "\index{Entry}" at the deemed important places and then can get near automatically a correct index - the shuffling of text has no influence on the correctness, if the index...

    Infuse question

    I have done an attempt - due to lack of time I've looked only at the half of the posts at this time. Only collecting questions isn't enough - next to the fact, that not all questions have been answered, the questons and answers have often to reformulated for easier reading. I can send you the...

    D&D 4E How could 4E be more elegant?

    That is far too expensive - you burn every available feat for an increase of a caster level, which is useless at the levels, where the number is considerably improved. Furthermore, one can only spend one third of the levels on class levels with no caster level increase, because you get a feat...
