So they are lazy wizards?!

Hi. How do clerics worshipping a deity of magic differ to wizards when it comes to casting magic? Do the clerics learn spells in the same way as a wizard or are they just gifted the ability to cast them?

Any ideas what a Seeker Patron would want from the warlock? If I'm in just a general adventuring group squashing giant rats etc. how much knowledge gathering do I have to do? Would finding 1 forgotten tome keep the Gods happy? Does it need to be a constant mission to unearth knowledge? How...

Wow that is a cool class. So much fun.

I took a look at This: http://errantd20designer.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/unearthed-errata-akashic.html?m=1 Seems a bit fiddly but could be what I'm looking for. Also this: http://mfov.magehandpress.com/2015/05/master-of-masks.html?m=1 which is similar to the idea I added as an edit to my original...

I can never create a character that I can stick with. I get so influenced by what I am currently watching / playing / seeing. I devised a knowledge cleric after walking around a cathedral with a lovely library. Made a Bard after watching a ballet performance. Just thought about making a ranger...

I don't intend any abuse. I am now saying the spirit is summoned from the book and casts spells as a normal bard would. My character will have to keep book open and concentrate on it while spirit is casting spells. My character won't be flavored as a Bard. It's the spirit that casts the spells...

Actually this seems like a good idea. Much simpler. Sometimes I over complicate things. ---- This sounds like great fun. I will have to consider it.

I think you might be right. Sometimes simplicity is the best option. I think for combat this would be the best idea. For everything else I could have a bit more flexibility maybe. Using the ghost thing for roleplaying.

Yes I like the idea of Warlocks, they sound a cool class. I just wanted more of a 'skill monkey' mundane character but much prefer the Bard's spells. I wouldn't want to play a spell caster but like the utility and fun that spell casters get. I am not a dnd player, this will be my first game...

I found this from another forum: "When a spellcasting ghost manifests, its spells continue to affect ethereal targets and can affect targets on the Material Plane normally unless the spells rely on touch. A manifested ghost’s touch spells don’t work on nonethereal targets." So ghost it is...

Sorry I didn't provide more information. I won't go into too much reasoning but my character I would like to create is a lore Bard (for utility) and say the spells are not cast from him but a spirit creature. The character carries a tome that when opened conjures a spirit who defends the PC /...

I didn't want a physical companion. I guess my spirit creature won't have any hit points and stays near my character. I was thinking that my character has to have the book open to release the spirit so won't be able to attack and has to keep concentration. If I allow the spirit to roam...

I am after any spirits that are player races or monsters that are able to cast spells. Thanks.

Can either true polymorph or polymorph turn an incorporeal creature or spirit into a physical being?

The DM is quite busy at the moment, her campaign is a long way off. I just wanted to have a clear idea of my character first. I love the idea of the spirit being the actual author of the tome - thanks for that. I am hoping that this idea could provide the DM with more story telling options...

Thanks for the reply. I realised I can't have a spirit going around casting spells and then have PC free to attack as well. If I could say I have to open the tome and concentrate to maintain the spirit? Are there any spell casting spirits you could imagine that exist in dnd that fit being able...

Hi everyone. My first post here and my first ever dnd campaign (I have watched the group play before). Quickly...I'm not a massive fan of magic. My logical brain battles against magic's irrationality but I like the options it provides. So I was going with Cleric as magic is gifted. For some...
