Mesa's Class? Well it looks like I will be going more along the Rogue/Ardent->Psychic Weapon Master. As for powers, I haven't fleshed that out yet, but things that would help with the martial arts theme of this guy, and add to his stealthiness. Looking for a westernized ninja type concept, but...

Mesa's Class? Just a quick question, will there be any psionic material? I have an idea for the mechanics of Mesa Crawe involving multiclassing in both Ardent (C. Psi.) and Swordsage (Bo9S). Putting them together would make a very fun and potent martial artist. It seems that Mesa has been...

FF Impaired I will admit that my experience with video games has been limited for quite some time. The last one I played seriously was Resident Evil (the first one). School, work (I recently resigned from the fire department as a firefighter to go to medical school) and a new baby have...

Character concepts Criminal/Rich person- Mesa Crawe is the youngest son of the head of a criminal organization. His father wants to keep him out of the worst of the criminal activities, but despite his best efforts, Mesa was just arrested for fixing a gambling ring. Needless to say, the...

You know, I personally hate Vancian Magic because it is not represented in much fantasy literature, but I love Bo9S, which is vaguely Vancian, but on a per encounter basis! Weird, but the arbitrary "one time Ancient Mountain Hammer" seems more plausible to me and has more literature/movie/comic...

Other books possible? This may be heresey, but I have never played FF, would this be a problem? Would you consider allowing Bo9S? I have wanted to play a Jade Pheonix Mage for a while, and I think that I could fill the Main, best friend/relative, criminal, or swordsman/gish role.

Hong, I have been working on this idea for a while, but you did it better than I had come up with. I will be stealing this idea. Per encounter magic that is not overly powerful, but stays on par with other gish types. I like it very much. The flavor of the JPM is good, but I don't like the...

Basically the argument about whether Bo9S belongs in D&D comes down to the "fighters should not get to have nice abilities", or the "melee characters should not do anything they couldn't do in real life" camp verses the "if casters can do cooler things, why can't melee characters" and the...

Why is all this unbeleivable, but fireballs and teleport perfectly understandable? D&D has tons of unbeleivable stuff, why can't warriors have any? If it doesn't make you happy, don't use it, but stating that it does't belong in D&D is stupid. Escapism is the name of the game in fantasy...

Spiritual Metabolism The rules or reality work as a great biological metabolism, it recycles energy into new forms. Those who know the inner workings of spiritual metabolism can change the way things work. Various "exercises and diets" can create different effects in the system. Suplements and...

Psionics is really the best "variant" magic system. Since it works similarly to the UA spellpoint system, that would get my vote if psionics doesn't work.
