Hmmm.... nope. You didn't. You made a better version of the sorcerer (if only due to variety). But that's a discussion for another time. As for the Warlock: The class operates under the principle that the wizard and sorcerers' true ability is variety and massive damage respectively. If playing...

Because I hate when people don't post on good ideas I have always thought that this is one of the better classes that I've seen on EN World. Of course, I still dislike Arcane Storm, but that's just because I think it's too much better than meteor swarm. But you can't please everyone. You know...

Well, this is just an idea, but maybe your character learns to handle specific environments as he advances. For instance, the first 10 skill levels could be "basic". then, for every two skill ranks over ten, you come to be able to apply your skills to new environs. This could simulate that the...

Ummm, just a few quick thoughts. One - since the class is designed around the concept of taking punishment from monsters (and yes, this is less so than a traditional Blue mage, but still will occur more than a normal wizard), are you sure that d4 is the right hit die? Same applies for the weak...

I've seen this done extremely well, but only once out of the five times I've seen a player try it. Without exception, the other four used psychic chiurgery or heal to get rid of it almost instantly. The one time I saw it done well, the character would radically switch from LG to CE any time...

Ohhh... that's what you meant by being more bardy. Ok, I'm withdrawing from this argument(not that I think it will make a difference). This entire time, I've assumed that you wanted the bard to be able to... something? It wasn't quite clear. It seemed like you wanted more battle orientation...

Have you tried the Leadership feat? A bard likely has the same Charisma as a Sorcerer, but his spells are more in tune with buffing than the sorcerer and he does not have a familiar, meaning that he will not suffer a -2 to his Leadership score. A bard with 18 Cha is probably the only class that...

EDIT: Oh, and I did try to stay out of your other thread when you asked me to. That's largely because the bard has been played out as being useless for so long. But consider this: What size of party? And, as has already been stated, the Cleric is broken. However, for the sake of argument...

Hmmm... How about for blur, you let the caster choose between blurring for a long period of time (1 min/level), but only 15% miss chance, or as you suggest (1 round/level; 50% miss chance). Either way, for every 3 extra spell points they expend, the miss chance increases by 10% (maximum 70%/35%)

What? a +3 Sword of sharpness isn't good enough for you whippersnappers? Bah. But seriously... Good Job. This is awesome. If you're still looking for ideas on that spell, I think Break Enchantment would be about par for the course (wih a range of touch, that means that the sword could cut...

Obviously, the third area that will need work is a new system for metamagic feats. At this point, I’m leaning toward a # of uses/day as in Unearthed Arcana, but I’m not setting anything in stone at this moment. Okay, that's all for now. Thoughts?

The second area, which I already have a rough draft of here, is my complete overhaul of how the Wizard casts his spells. The Wizard has the ability to cast a number of arcane spells. She is dependant on two abilities for her magic, Charisma and Intelligence. Charisma determines the forcefulness...

On this, and any else, if something is unclear, ask me and I’ll edit to clarify. My purpose is not to hash out the wording, but the concepts. The first area that I will be overhauling is the Wizard’s spell list. This overhaul will be divided mainly into three sections. 1. Spell levels- All...

Spell theory This is an idea that has been bouncing around in my head for a long time. I don’t know if it’s ever been done before. I fully recognize that it will make mages more powerful. Basically, my qualm with magic as it stands now is that I personally believe that there is an unreasonable...

In response to original poster: Might want to get that looked at. It's almost certainly nothing, but Jung says that it can indicate a real problem.

For a first level spell? Sure. Is it balanced? According to a statistically correct D&D? No. But!!! Do you trust your player? Yes, you obviously do. I would just say that as long as it's a non-damaging spell (or armor providing) then it is probably fine. Hell, it's the only way that hold...

Hate to ssay it, but they're right. hmmm, how to balance.... First off, the healing definitely needs to be lowered as far as power goes. If I were playing one of these, I would use a healing blast in any round that I couldn't use anything else. Set healing blast to 2/3 progression, maxing out...

The Last Unicorn says yes. Vote YES on Skeleton Speak for the Lady Amalthea! Now give me the wine....

You should specify whether or not one creature can use the tether to pull the other closer to him or her. Because personally I would not, as a Wizard, want to cast this spell on an escaping fighter only to have him pull me behind him.

Oh, I forgot. Your sorcerer spells should be true strike and eyes of the avoral (again BoED) I'll do a full write-up when I get back from dinner, but that pretty much covers it.
