[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 4362014, member: 11821"] Ha! Yep, in my years of running AE, my players tried every class except the Akashic and Runethane. Despite my pleading. (Well, that's not quite accurate - I did have one guy who multiclassed Akashic-Magister, and another with a multiclassed Oathsworn-Runethane, but no single-classed characters of either, and never beyond 6th level or so.) And yeah, the whole Magister-melting-high-level-spells-for-lower-level-ones and the Heightened vs. Diminished stuff made them insanely powerful. One of the flaws of the system was that, by 13th level, the melee characters just couldn't keep up anymore. The magister and greenbond together just fried every opponent I threw against them. Sorcerous Blast is merrily abusive. :) I had forgotten until your post about the heightened (change type to energy and increase damage dice to 1d8 and max to 15d8) and diminished (same damage, single target) versions. Add any template on top of it, and it's even crazier. "Oh no, 20 gold for an extra 2d6 damage? How will I ever cope?" -O [/QUOTE]
