After running my first 4E game a while back, one of the players found one bit not to his liking....as a cleric (Essentials: Sun), he had abilities to heal others, but it seemed like a lot of his powers keyed off an attack - not simply an EFFECT that happens, but truly dependent upon him whacking...

I am still preparing to run my first foray into 4E (a 4A?)...and I'm finding that my forum search skills are lousy. I would think this is covered before, but here goes: Even monsters only get a Standard/Move/Minor set of actions, and possibly action points and Free actions, right? I think...

I have not run/played 4E yet - still deciding if I will or not, but I had a question in reading the books. In 3.x, you couldn't be a 4th level Wizard and then when you hit 5th level just take the 5th level boosts from some other class - not just because it was silly, but because the...

Okay, so I used to do comics, and for a while I did Magic cards...but now apparently I collect sadly-lacking or discontinued software for D&D. My favorite was and is DMGenie, but now it's dead due to lack of interest by the creator, and the 4E "No Software" nonsense. I own Fantasy Grounds...

This didn't really feel like a 3.5 RULES issue, but if this belongs elsewhere, mods, feel free to use the thread translocationator on it. Here's the scenario -- Campaign based in 3.5 ruleset. Group of 5-6 players. Each of the characters is going to start at 1st level, with a class/race/etc...

Quick question on Elements of Magic. I am 95% sure I understand it, but just in case. A) I cast Illusion Light and create the illusion of a man. I spend nothing on range or area of effect. The man illusion sits in the 5' square in front of me doing his thang. I then move away....does...

Transform Nature in Elements of Magic allows for the Matter enhancement, which allows you to force Fire, Time, etc. to take on a physical form. Where I'm confused (okay, one of the many places where I'm confused!) is where this links to the Different Element enhancement. If I use Transform...

Back in 2005, if I'm reading correctly, RangerW was looking at ways to use EoM with the True20 system...on a lot of different sites I see a lot of abandoned threads about this, but no really clear answers. Has no one used True20 with EoM? I'm wondering things like: 1) Would you use the...

Has anyone run a WOTBS campaign with the Elements of Magic system? Here, I mean War of the Burning Sky, and not Warren Oates' Teen Bible School. I guess the question could be generalized - what do people who use EoM do with pre-written modules/campaigns? I was thinking that the easiest thing...

I have no plans to move to 4th Edition yet, but I'm trying to stay open-minded. However, the one show-stopper will be if EoM is not compatible with 4th Edition....with the way they've seemingly hacked away at magic ("You want to fly? Maybe at 18th level, but certainly not this early!") I'm...

I'm fortunate enough to be playing (instead of DMing FINALLY!) in a campaign with a lot of room for different types of characters (hmm...no forced 'roles'!)... My current character spent his first four levels as a variant rogue, giving up sneak attack for bonus feats, so long as those feats...

I don't want to hog this board, but I have a bunch of questions...rather than write an essay-length post with them all, I'll try to ask the most important ones first. 1) From my reading of the rules, any spell that is not 'simple' - meaning one spell list, must have at least one MP per list...

First time post - redirect/correct me if I've erred... I am moving to EOM rules for magic in my world, but unlike with 4E I think I can do it without abandoning my current campaign. To do this, I want to include the original spells from the PHB and other sources, but with MP costs and...
