Characters who take the appropriate feat can "psionic-ize" their spells (that made up word's not actually in the text, in case you're wondering) and cast their spells as purely mental actions. There's a price to pay, of course, but it gives a character with this feat a unique feel.The spells you know are not as important as the spells you have readied. Casters must mentally prepare themselves each day for casting spells, readying a certain number of the spells they have access to. A first level magister, with no ability score mods taken into account, can ready 5 0-level spells and 3 1st level spells.Sorry. I'm not a sports fan.Yes. I'd say so-so different. (The spells still have the same parameters pretty much, there are still 9 levels of spells, and so on). I really recommend that you look at my design diaries on my website for a full explanation. Someone in a chat on my site described it as a lot of crunch, covered in cream. As much as I actually kinda don't like the whole "crunch" terminology, I liked that description. It's very rules heavy--like the Player's Handbook, but there's a lot of flavor there. For more non-crunch, the follow-up products, like the Diamond Throne, are the way to go.We don't have partial actions. Just standard actions and move actions (with move-equivalent actions as well). I do think that partial actions did sort of muddy the waters a bit.Thanks. I'm glad the idea has been well-received and we're hopeful that it will be a success. It means a lot to me that you'd prepare for getting the book and you haven't even seen it yet.1. Sorry, not a huge sports fan. I do like baseball a bit, but I'm not really into it.2. The problem is my lack of time. Between running my own games and, well, work, I think it would be difficult to find the time.3. OK. Let me know if I answered it adequately.4. Sorry, not hiring.5. If you mean published settings currently out, I'd go with something with a lot of rich detail like Scarred Lands or Forgotten Realms. I like the Iron Kingdoms, but I don't know much about it--mostly I just really like steampunk.If I'm not limited to current settings, I'd throw in Planescape and Dark Sun and the Rolemaster setting Shadow World.If I'm not limited by published settings, I'd throw in Chris Perkin's current D&D game, Bruce Cordell's Shattered Realms campaign and a few of my old ones I guess.6. Like I said earlier, the big change is hero points.Yeah, that's the unfettered alright. You'd probably also enjoy playing an oathsworn, who tries to rely on himself rather than on equipment and weapons.</blockquote>
