Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Glen" data-source="post: 6873633" data-attributes="member: 6800327">Dragon Sorcery and Wild Magic are more associated with the Forgotten Realms than Mystara.  Mystara's magic is extremely stable, but finite apparently.  They have null magic, but not wild magic.  The dragons don't play a major role either, it seemed extremely out of place.Will look at a header for the backgrounds, cosmetic changes aren't a problem thought I have very limited space.Fire Wizard is featured heavily in Glantri, Ierendi and Alphatia gazetteers.  It was going to be one of the initial subtypes but had some rules issues.  Gallowglass is the traditional heavy infantry of Scotland, and my ancestors would haunt me if I didn't include it in a setting that including fantasy Scotland.  As they are warriors first and foremost they aren't a background, but a form of very fast and resilient fighter.  Modeled them after the Highlander rush tactics, close fast or die.  Troubleshooter was just going to be filler, but the playtesters fell in love with it.  It's a underground locksmith, it wasn't criminal at all, and the abilities were extremely situational but very useful.  So I left it in because of overwhelming popular feedback.   Bounty Hunter was added as a request for a new ranger that wasn't geographically linked.  The playtesters didn't like the options in the PHB at all, and the Forester, while canon, was tied to a single terrain type.  People suggested opening it up to other types, but it didn't make any sense to have a forester with his abilities starting the mountains.The extra attunement in the playtests was rarely taken, and then I don't know of a group where somebody took it more than once.  Taking a feat that requires you to find physical objects to make it work was too much of a risk for them to try.The sphere domains are included for completion.  There are no domains restricted at all, everything in the PHB is allowed.  Since the spheres where extremely important in Mystara, including domains keyed to them seemed appropriate.  This is to reflect a lot of people in Mystara follow philosophies rather than single immortals.I've nuked the duplicate background, was a duplication error.  I'm still adding and editing the book, the TOC is probably going to be the last thing fixed so I don't constantly keep changing it.  I'm killing typos as I can find them, it's an extremely slow and tedious process.  Girlfriend helped with a read along last night, but her brain frazzled on page 53.  Will pick it up when she feels like trying to finish it.</blockquote>
