[DungeonmasterCal]

I'm really trying NOT to buy this, as I need to hang on to some money at the moment...but people keep taunting me with it's goodness.

The Corpsespinner.

What's good?

Everything. Seriously.

I particularly liked the Spell of Opportunity and Spell Cleave feats. There are lots of books I missed that I'm going back for now.

What can anyone tell me about the skills based magic system?

Its the same used in Sword and Socerer's Advanced Players Guide.

Basically spellcasting is skill and the differnet level spells have a certain DC. And after you cast so many spells the DC starts to rise.

I liked that time monster that can erase your history from the world's consciousness so you go from being "Fred, the famous hero" to "some unknown hero".

 

[Hussar]

Is the book primarily D20 fantasy or is it straight d20 with a mix of rules for other d20 systems?

Ahh...not having that book I've never seen the variant. Living where I do, I don't see many of the 3rd party books. Thanks!

It's entirely d20 fantasy, i.e. D&D compatible. There's no d20 Modern, historical etc.
