    Expanding the list of improved familiars

    No, thats ok - if I remember correctly, it just gives an increase to the total HD you can control. My focus is more on what is not yet listed but could be added to the list of available familiars B:]B

    Feats for specialist wizards - a different incentive

    Technik4: Cool - awesome feedback! Re: Withstand Magics Tide consider it changed - the text highlighted in yellow. Re: Poach the Spheres I like the name Gatekeeper - but lean towards using that as its own feat! I added a bluff or diplomacy requirement as well. Including Nifft's offering...

    Feats for specialist wizards - a different incentive

    True. I was hesitant, as there is a feat that allows a +3 on spells of a specific school - though in afterthought, it is a truly lame feat, so I shouldn't allow it to alter my decision. So yes, I concur. I am adding 'You gain a +2 bonus to your saves against transmutation spells.' to the...

    Feats for specialist wizards - a different incentive

    Hmm, good point. How about the addition of 'You gain a +2 bonus your saves against transmutation spells that attempt to alter your body shape or consistency.' Does this balance it out enough, or is it still too short Nifft: Cool feat! I like the Sixth Sense feat, an excellent addition! B:]B

    Feats for specialist wizards - a different incentive

    Inspired by what I thought the topic was for the thread 'Wizard specialization incentives', I was working on feats only specialists can take - or perhaps generalist wizards could if they paid an appropriate price... For instance, Subconscious Coherence (General, Magic) Prerequisite Illusion...

    Flaws

    yennico: could very well be. I took the initial list posted and began trimming it. Once I'd removed what I thought was too good/too awful, I began re-doing the mechanics of some to ease use in game. The original ideas came from outside, I'm just a Johnny-Come-Lately who couldn't resist the...

    Flaws

    Some additional flaws.... not all my own stuff, most are from the wotc page. I've re-balanced some (I thought some too mild and some too damn crippling). FLAWS Addiction You are addicted to some substance. Effect: If unable to get daily dose, suffer a cumulative -2 to all actions. The...

    Magic Categorization

    1st thought: I'd make the names more evocative - more flavorful. Saying 'I am a dimension mage' doesn't sound very DnD/medieval. 2nd thought: don't break a school into offense/defense. Find another division. For my game, I use the following schools. I do allow some spells to fall into more...

    Rook - a rotten bastard

    BigFreekinGoblinoid: I've never looked at story hour - it looks like I should have posted there! Oh well. I'll certainly see if I can get my work transferred there rather then creating a duplicate post. From what I've seen, story hour is mostly to get read, not to get feedback. Is there a...

    Rook - a rotten bastard

    Ok, folks are shy. I'm looking for feedback. Is this story entertaining, dragging on, too screwed up in the writing method, stuff I should keep to myself? Damn! Too late for a poll. For instance, he says Momma when under pressure, instead of mother. I meant to convey a bit of warp in the...

    Rook - a rotten bastard

    Ok, this installment is rushed - I have a Dr appointment today and just wanted to get something out. Well, any feedback? Hello? . . . . Rook’s mind stumbled as it tried to make sense of the corpse reaching for him, finally tripping into the now as its cold hand slammed his chest, knocking...

    Rook - a rotten bastard

    ...some more on Rook just before I go home. If I get the chance, I'll write some more this week. Feedback/critique would be great. I'd like this to be decent when I'm done, and this has been written in my spare time at work - between tasks, so I'm sure the narrative voice wobbles a bit, as...

    Rook - a rotten bastard

    The ongoing story of Rook . . . The wife stood at the door, waiting for her husband. She watched Rook step out of the forest, holding her husband’s bow. With a cry of horror, she slammed the door shut and began wailing for her loss. Rook ran up to the door to pull it open, only to find she...

    Rook - a rotten bastard

    More on Rook . . . With no immediate prospects and the chance of getting caught and put on trial, Rook fled into the woods, scraping by for a month with his limited woodsman skills. Finally tiring of root and roast squirrel, he began poaching on the farms, stealing piglets, goats, and chickens...

    Rook - a rotten bastard

    so how many players in the group? Well, he's played in 3 convention games and a dozen or so solo games (me & a gm). When with other players, he is a bit of a.... pain. Last con game, we entered the town & offered to help them deal with lycanthropes threatening them - but I wanted whores and...

    Rook - a rotten bastard

    where does he go from here? Cool - interest. Perhaps I should have written more then just this before posting. I'll see what I can get done today. what does he know about the area? Familiar with the local area (10 mile radius) - unfortunately, the people in that radius are familiar with him...
