I have a problem about having monsters with spellcaster class levels: - a kobold, with 8 sorcerer levels, is a CR 8 - a bugbear with 8 sorcerer levels is a CR 10 (maybe, but maybe only 9) - I don't think a Succubus with 8 sorcerer levels is comparable to a CR 17 ! If a creature is already...

I made this some time ago for a low-magic renaissance world (jet unfinished). http://digilander.libero.it/gpetruc/crystaldawn/mystic.html Probably is not what you are thinking of, but just for giving some ideas, that's it.

It looks like there is still a lot to do. Interesting, anyway

I didn't read trough all the tables, but it seems ok. Maybe the +1 spellcasting/level to the wild mage could be a little too much (expecially for sorcerors it leaves no reason to keep the base class)

Save DC is 10 + level + charisma (It seems best than Intelligence) ----------------------------------------------- Ars magica has lots of disciplines: it has 5 (creation, control, knowledge, transform, destroy) + 10 (animal, fire, mind, ...), and you conbine skill checks (add up the ranks...

I was working on a simple variant spellcasting system for a moderatly magic world. The system is partially inspired to Ars Magica, and the Dusk setting -------------------------------------------------- The Art This is a variant spellcasting system for D&D, to give...

Seems ok to me

Very nice. About the Hide Display I don't remember well what it did: if you have to choose one display type for the feat, then with these rules it becomes stronger, as you'll take it only for the spells you would use, and only if they have suble effects (Telepathy, mostly, I think). If the...

In a low magic world where healing is needed you could consider also some house rules for herbalism (some of them have been discussed on this boards in the last months)

Nice system I think timble's idea to have the weapons deal the critical multiplier to WP on a treat (in addition to the weapon's damage). Maybe all the "keen" and "improved criticals" should be changed from x2 threat range to +1 threat range (like in SWd20), but I'm not that sure In Star Wars a...

Very nice. What about ascension/demigods ? are they possible in you world ?

For the wizard part I don't think is overpowered; maybe for the sorcerer, who probably won't ever have taken any spell in the opposing color, it's slightly overpowered. Maybe if you want to tone it down you could restrict the rearrangement of spells known at a maximum of 1 spell/character...

this is the pdf version

I'm working on a spellcasting system based on mana (of different colors) and skill checks, where casters will have a much greater freedom in what to cast (but, I hope, they won't get more power). Basically: When you want to cast a spell you decide what you want it to do (using the schemes and...

I think there are some calculators on the net (Class Calc, Class construction kit or some similar names) but I don't have the link.

I've managed to have a look at the magic rules in Ars Magica. Very nice Anyway I won't try a straight conversion mostly because that magic does not fit the standard D&D world. After some tries I thought about this for the spellcasting system: To cast a spell you pay an amount of colored mana...

I've downloaded Ars Magica, but it's long (272 pages) so I don't know how much it will take to me to browse through it. I had some other ideas about the mana and the spell per day limits: Allow two ways to gather mana: - a complex ritual that lasts 1 hour that replenishes your mana pool; the...

I haven't got the pdf, but I will look for it.

The fact that NPC classes have decent combat stats in D&D IMHO is due to the fact that the world is full of monsters, and expecially those who live in small villages or travel in roads through the wilderness may face attacks often (for example merchants) In Star Wars d20 is the opposite: while...

Maybe it's a little too high magic: the spellcasting classes get lots of bonuses, while non casters get less. The fighter, expecially, looses also the fact of being the only one with lots of feats (the other classes would get about two/three additional feats that is probably enought to have...
