[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6811327, member: 20323"] I love how talented folks on ENWorld are :) [MENTION=61095]Bravesword[/MENTION] Sounds like you have some story ideas for where to take certain things in Al-Qadim post-Spellplague? Hit us with you ideas! [MENTION=6789613]MessiahMushroom[/MENTION] Oh man, Campaign Cartographer. I played around with it back in 2009, but actually found it easier to get the look I wanted in GIMP/Photoshop. But now there are so many cool Cartographer Annuals with great add-on content. We'll see! Thankfully, I now have permission to use [MENTION=14338]hands[/MENTION]omeRob's [url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/forgottenrealms/images/8/8c/Zakhara.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100224201659]awesome zakhara map[/url] so we're covered for now in terms of cartography. One question I posed was about what sub-classes should we create for Wizards? In AQ, the normal eight schools of magic were de-emphasized in favor of 4 elemental provinces, and there were several mages who cast very differently from their Faerûnian counterparts. Between [u]Arabian Adventures[/u] & [U]Complete Shair's Handbook[/U] we have the following kits to use as inspiration: [list][*][B]Elemental Mage[/B] I'm inclined to link this to Sorcerer as an "Elemental Magic" sorcerous origin, possibly 4 linked origins? [*][B]Sha'ir[/B] I've designed this as a Warlock sub-class "Noble Genie patron" [*][B]Sorcerer[/B] Seems like a non-concept to me, plus it infringes on the Sorcerer class name. Better to cut it out. [*][B]Astrologer[/B] [*][B]Clockwork Mage[/B] [*][B]Digitalogist[/B] [*][B]Ghul Lord[/B] [MENTION=6789613]MessiahMushroom[/MENTION] has a version of this done for the Sorcerer class? is it a better fit for Sorcerers? [*][B]Jackal[/B] [*][B]Mageweaver[/B] [*][B]Mystic of Nog[/B] I'm thinking of reinterpreting this as a Monk sub-class "Way of Painted Skin" and tying it to tattooing practices. [*][B]Spellslayer[/B] seems to be covered by the PHB feat Mage Slayer, and also seems a bit evil for most heroic parties. [/list] So, if we cut out the ones I commented on, then that leaves us with the following old concepts we could try converting as Wizard arcane traditions... [list][*]Astrologer [*]Clockwork Mage [*]Digitalogist [*]Jackal [*]Mageweaver[/list] I really don't know much about these and never saw them in play, so maybe someone could comment about which of these should be converted? Or should we find a way to adapt the existing PHB arcane traditions to Zakhara? Or should we make up our own from scratch (e.g. I worked on a Scholarly Mage "generalist" arcane tradition that might fit the "kindly old vizier" archetype)? [/QUOTE]
