Book of Exalted Deeds Excerpts up

[Olive]

Here.

I think this looks very cool, and the vow of nonviolence (only hinted at here) might be perfect for a PC of mine, and lead to all sorts of RPing opportunities!

What do you all think?

 

[demiurge1138]

It looks good. It also looks as if might have some interesting information on the nature of good, as opposed to the BOVD's predominately "look what we can get away with!" approach. Not that I disliked the BOVD, it just seemed occasionally juvenile.

Anyway...
The spells are very cool, the PrCs look interesting, and I like the creature. I'm very fond of the new, masssive preview style. It lets people really get something of a feel for the book.

Demiurge out.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Mmm.....I can't wait for this book.

 

[Olive]

I'm a little worried that the spells are predominantly high level... Maybe Darrin can alay my fears?

I'd be interested to see if Monte does a review...

 

[Elder-Basilisk]

It looks quite promising. I'll be very interested to see what the rest of this is like when it finally comes out.

 

[Particle_Man]

hmmm...they mixed up the tables for Axiomatic Spell and Bolt of Glory...hope that mix-up didn't carry over into the book.

Low-level spells. Well, on the spell list for one of the prestige classes, there are 3/lvl for the first 3 levels -- so that is at least 9 new low level spells.

 

[Aaron L]

Looks promising to me.

 

[Wycen]

So now we have Sanctified spells for the opposite of Corrupt spells and new spell components. Should have expected that. Nothing from those excerpts makes me think it needs a mature title however.

 

[nimisgod]

IMO, the Lion of Talsid smacks of cheeziness. Scent and Pounce? Ouch.

 

[Psion]

Hmmm... vows as feats... that sounds a LOT like BoHM. Well see if they follow in its footsteps or not.

Classes: Apostle of Peace... ick, does one of those "new spell level per class level" things. At least this time, it doesn't get 9th level spells MUCH before a normal caster would.

The other two classes seem decent though.

The magic... sactified spells sound a lot like vile spells in effect. I would think that they would try to make the mechanic different (shrug).
