    Practiced Spellcaster Breaks D20

    Not true - in Elements of Magic Revised, a replacement for the core magic, caster levels stack like the BAB, but it fixes only the problem with pure casters - as soon you multiclass into another non-casting class, you are facing the very same problem again. I don't know, if a Practiced...

    Who has used Elements of Magic Revised?

    EoMR is as different from EoM(o) like the 3rd edition from AD&D - you'll find the original concepts, but the rules are far better and more clean and streamlined (and are taken to the 3.5 terminology). There are some problems with the rules set, but those are tackled with a new update - at least...

    Elements of Magic - House Rules

    Sorry for the delay - RL issues. Taking RangerWickett's post into account, you are still behind that, what you've written above? I'm a bit confused in that regard. My original comment was correct to the RAW, so I don't see, what should change my opinion anyways. Could you enlighten me, what I...

    Why Won't Some People Play Spellcasters?

    Hey, you seem to be a perfect candidate for the following recommendation: Try Elements of Magic Revised at RPGnow. It is a nifty spellpoint system, which addresses virtually all complaints, I seen in this thread (except that wizards have still d4 ;) ) - I could easily double the reasons, what is...

    Homework Help! Can't find the proper resources about India!

    This homework shouldn't go really in depth - a search like ajanders mentioned is way beyound the scope. One or two sentences for every point should be sufficient - because of this I don't have any idea how to narrow down the search. The text, I entered in my first post, is exactly everything, I...

    Homework Help! Can't find the proper resources about India!

    I hadn't time to go to a library before the weekend, next to the thought, that there could be something in the net. But I'll check it out, if no one else can post something.

    Homework Help! Can't find the proper resources about India!

    For my English homework, I have to solve the following task: Location of production facilities "One of the consequences of globalization is that companies can be very flexible in their choice of location for new production facilities. List the advantages and disadvantages (as far as you know...

    Core spell conversions to EoM:R?

    Ah, so I was right. I am sorry, but this won't function balancing-wise - I've given my advice for this situation above. If you are a beginner, then you shouldn't try to change the system - it looks to me, that you haven't understood all the changes to the core system and why they have been made...

    Elements of Magic - Designer Notes request

    A more general phrased question than "Why don't EOM spells deal the same damage as core spells?": Why are some changes of EoMR compared to the core rules necessary, if we want more flexibility? Why does flexibility cost power?

    Spell Creation - Spell Constuction Kit or Cookbook?

    Actually, someone called EoMR a d20-port of Ars Magica. He's wrong, (both systems evolved parallel), but this shows the similarities of both approaches. If you like the idea behind Ars Magica, you won't be disappointed with EoMR. And to the work with players: The update will probably include...

    The Immortals Handbook

    It could have been on my side - I had some audio programs open, which blocked my headset's ear phones... Should have tested that before. :heh: Edit: As I found out, the audio streams don't change the speakers, if I only plug the headset in - restarting is the solution. So nothing has been...

    Nice terms, but Eidolon and Eidonlancer are used in Ghostwalk, from WotC themselves.

    recommend some pdf's!!

    To those, who recommended "Elements of Magic" - please refer to "Elements of Magic Revised", because the original PDF is still available for sale (unless you really mean the original version and then I would heavily disagree with you ;)). On topic: Most PDFs, I'd recommend, are already...

    D&D 3.x D&D 3.5 : spellcasting rolls - ideas?

    If I understand you correctly, then spells shouldn't be automatic in success (barring saves, missed touch attacks and spell resistance), so that there is an additional layer for failure like through wearing armor. I know a nice PDF - "Wild Spellcraft" from EN Publishing. You always a d20 and at...

    Core spell conversions to EoM:R?

    I don't understand one thing - are you using simply EoM-spells, which are prepared in advance like the core spells, without MPs and spell lists? In this case, firstly you should not only give 2 MP more than the spell level suggests, because EoM-Spells are weaker than their counterparts, because...

    Note to self - things to fix for EOM

    Isn't this the Unearthed Arcana rule? While I see the merit of it, I don't believe, that +1/4 caster level is enough, if you think of a caster level as the MP threshold - in this case it should be at least +1/2 caster level advancement. But if you mean real caster levels, so that a Fighter...

    Spell Creation - Spell Constuction Kit or Cookbook?

    To clarify it: Don't buy Elements of Magic, but Elements of Magic Revised. Unfortunately, the link for the teaser isn't available anymore. Look for reviews - the bookmark problem is solved the patch and a major update is planned, which fills all the gaps and eliminates the errors, which have...
