Okay, Elements of Magic was great. There were a few minor things that were a problem, but it embodied a brilliant idea and it was something folks had wanted for a long time; a toolkit for building a magic system in D20 that does whatever the designer wants it to do. Elements of Magic is...

Charm [Creature] and Compel [Creature] In the change to EOMR, why were the options for Charm [Creature] and Compel [Creature] reduced? There were lots of options in EOM.

I think the endurance rules would cover this quite nicely. Singing LOUD and MAGICALLY is as draining as running or fighting.

Players needed We're in need of two or three players for this game. Send me an email stating that you are over eighteen and I will invite you to the Yahoo! group that has the game files. We will be reconstituting the party when we can get more players.

I don't use settings where there is no place worth protecting, no people worth saving, no ideals worth holding.

HERESY! Quite frankly, I don't think it can be done. The first time an Amberite PC says, "I want to shadowwalk to find a world where magic works like this a D20 DM would be completely hosed. Amber DEMANDS a very rules-light system.

The bottom line is, everyone at the table should be having fun. One of the biggest fun-killers I know of is the "doitall" character. If one person at the table can deal with most of the situations presented by the GM, then there's a problem. Every class should have something it doesn't do well.

So is this game defunct?

Oh, please. Make it whatever you like. Have a world that is 100% jungle, with no seas anywhere.

Monks can already heal themselves. What I would do, in lieu of magic items, is to put together a lot of prestige races that the PC's can buy with XP, things related to various disciplines they can study. It'll also help differentiate the different party members.

Trust Gez to bring this discussion around to things that really matter! :D

Aha! Contingency option, that's what I'm missing. I have the full PDF file, where is contingency?

I sometimes require a will save to avoid wisdom damage due to horrific events.

How would you use Elements of Magic to accomplish the following spells: Alarm Fire Trap Magic Mouth Symbol I can't seem to find any way of accomplishing those things.

You used the 3.5 version? And even in 3.0, Alter Self couldn't make you into a troll or hill giant, because it couldn't alter your size. Hong, it's not like you to make big rules flubs. Are you feeling alright?

I'm not using prestige classes in my current game. I'm making enough changes (using Elements of Magic, frin) that adding PrC's to the mix just makes it too crazy.

One of the big problems with a "low magic" game is that if you nerf the wizards and clerics, people will complain that their spellcasters are underpowered. Personally, I find that "low magic" is something that refers to the gameworld more than it does to the rules, though it does have some...

That is correct.

The time we decided on is 8pm to 12pm eastern time. Edit: Yes, yes, of course, I mean 8pm to midnight. Stupid time.

There's still time First session is this friday, the 5th. Email me if you're interested in joining, there's still time.
