[QUOTE="Matthias, post: 6093930, member: 3625"] I'm designing a campaign world where magic users are feared and hunted down, but I still want to be able to have PC casters who can still reasonably practice their art undetected. All my players who want to do a magic caster have an idea of what they're getting into, but I also want to give them good advice of how to protect themselves rather than throw them into the lions' den (so to speak) with no idea of how to survive in such a world. Several players are inexperienced with D&D/PF style spellcasting, even though their PCs would know how to get along in this world without being caught, having been taught such tricks of the trade by whomever trained them. So what methods exist in the RAW to do this? I can think of Silent and Still Spell feats right away, but there must be others, magic items or something class-based, which can conceal the evidence of a spell being cast (if not its observable results) or at least obfuscate the direction or origin of a spell which is being cast or has just recently been cast. I've considered writing some custom archetypes which would give casters the ability to trade some of their class features for Silent and/or Still Spell as bonus feats, but our PCs are starting at 3rd level so there isn't a whole lot to give away. If there are certain class archetypes that might already do this, please let me know. Finally if there are any good 3rd party resources which can help in this regard, I'd like to have a look, even if written for a non-Pathfinder d20 system. [/QUOTE]
