Because I've been working on wrapping Up my current campaign, I haven't been able to devote Much time to this lately. When I get the chance I Plan on trying to build some of the Core & AU Classes with ouini's system ! Thanks. DrSpunj

To Aadin, "In winter? Sure, this kind of weather isn't all that uncommon. However, I believe we're several weeks, if not months, ahead of when this much snowfall is expected around here. More evidence that something is amiss in the area." Turning to Master Mollen while shaking off what snow he...

"Indeed, Kelsis, but until discharged our duty for the next little while lies with Master Mollen and his caravan. I would expect more battles on the road ahead of us. Perhaps we, too, will face ice trolls with our weapons in hand. If so, we'll have to make sure we search for more of the memory...

Sorry if I wasn't clear before. Without going back and looking at exactly what I had in that post, the Unearthed Arcana variant I was basing those groups off of only has two Exotic Weapon Feats. They are simply Exotic Weapons and Exotic Double Weapons. They essentially add exotic weapon...

I reworked my Total Spells spreadsheet to be completely AU compatible for the PbP game I'm in. I renamed it Total AU Spells just to keep it separate from the one I plan on using in this thread. I thought I'd post the link here here in case anyone was interested in it. Thanks. DrSpunj

It definitely needs some rewording in places for clarification, but an it's a very good first draft for what you've been describing. I'm not clear, even after seeing what you've written in this thread, how I'd go about creating a PC beyond 1st level (I realize it's a 1st level sheet, but at the...

Slick! I haven't been able to see Object Loresight in action until this game. When I first read it I wondered if it was going to be a bit painful to use or whether I was just missing something. I have to admit, it seemed overly painful to me as Aadin kept at it and you kept dribbling out little...

(OOC: Cool. Can Aadin learn anything more about any of the items before we head to bed? Perhaps he should work on that and skip a watch shift. Also, it's probably not worth paying her to identify everything if Aadin can do a little rune work here & there as our caravan continues on its way...

Alright, because of ouini & SSquirrel's comments I spent a little time tonight getting friendly with the Excel Index function. The result (after about 1.5 hours) is the spreadsheet I've attached below. Enter the PC's name, their number of Basic & Advanced Magic levels, and their relevant...

Just sent it to the email on your website (I think it's the same one I have at home!). I'm not impressed with the mechanics of the Paladin or Ranger, either. I think the Champion is substantially better designed, and the Ranger can vary widely (if the alt.variants are any indication) depending...

This is outstanding! BTW, craftyrat, I just tried using the link to my Arcane Archer Prestige Class in your list in the first post and found that the thread ID is wrong. It actually points back to this thread. :) The correct thread ID/link is...

I don't think so, that's "Greenbond" territory, which Monte made efforts to keep distinct from what any old magic user could do (for instance, check out the Blessed & Corrupt magic feats; the former gives you access to all negative energy spells while the former does not because Monte didn't...

SSquirrel, you're certainly free to take the spreadsheets and move into whatever direction you want, but as I said to ouini, I'm sticking with the AU Magic system. He & I put a lot of effort into a Mana-based Talislanta-like freeform magic system that had a lot of nifty (IMO) things going for...

Then here's where we're going to diverge pretty drastically. ;) I'm sticking with the AU Magic system. Period. I think it's cool, pretty intuitive, and offers far greater playability and versatility than the Core system without the balance issues that come up with a totally freeform Mana-based...

Kalythar, Litorian Mage Blade "Aye, and perhaps for all of us if this works out. Master Mollen, this gent's name is Tash. We met while selling that extra gear at the general store. You had mentioned perhaps taking on an extra guard or two as we arrived given the trouble we've had already and...

Yep. I think that's why I'm going to stick with a few very broad "you must work this out with the DM for specifics" feats, along the lines of Divine Training probably, just because the options are so diverse. A lot of common abilities can be codified relatively easily into feats, while others...

I really want to playtest something like this (and get some other opinions from those who already have) as I too am interested in using a Defense Bonus in my next campaign. And Ferrix, just for the record, I prefer the way it was done in Wheel of Time over the UA variant as well. For that...

Ah! I think we're on the same page now. You're effectively just coming up with a different default for the magic system. By that I mean, I look at Core and have come to believe that Arcane magic is the baseline. Since any PC can multiclass into an Arcane spellusing class, it's available to...

Um, I'm confused by that statement. If you meant "So what if you start seeing a bunch of casters able to utilize armor." then I'll have to look at the feat you're proposing to make a judgement. I think the Bard's "all Light armors are okay" is too much as a single feat for all arcane casters...

Right! Thanks. My apologies for leading you in the wrong direction with my statements. While I do believe the formula to be a bit complex, I much prefer consistency when I can have it. With literally everything else in the game rounding down, I'd personally rather go with the formula and round...
