[QUOTE="Nightfall, post: 1863593, member: 374"] Not necessarily unreasonable, but I will admit bias. And yes you folks can ignore me if you wish. So far though few have been able to shut me off. Gez, Eh. I figured Mesos spread himself across the multiverse when he when boom/sunder. Sae, I played a Sorcerer/Blessed of Mesos. I got a ring of Mesos before I even hit 8th level which is when you generally qualify for Blessed of Mesos. Ring of Mesos acts like a more powerful ring of wizardry but it increases the number of spells 1st through 4th. I felt dirty doing so since the power of the Blessed of Mesos, (as one of its special abilities) grants me MORE Known spells than just blowing feats for Extra slots, based on my Cha Score. (However because of the requirements for the class, I still have to burn available slots for my Scion Feat which is what powers the Blessed of Mesos). So combined with that, I could, in theory, out blast a War Mage or even a Warlock. And that's not even counting the fact I get at 5th level of the class, the ability to counterspell just rolling opposed Spellcraft versus some other spellcaster (any spellcaster's) Concentration check. (DC is my Spellcraft roll.) Oh and I also can cast using Concentration checks and a pool of points that allow me to freely cast (without taking a full round action), any metamagic feat I know. (Same is true of the ring but the combined might is very cool nonetheless.) HOWEVER, when I ran a Scarred Lands game with a PC using Blessed of Mesos, it was quite fun. I had his blood "sing' alot and have effects akin to "spellfire" in terms of it was reactive to many different magic effects and/or blood memories. Overall I didn't see him blast away much of anything. (Course I'm not STUPID enough to let him see them coming but still!) So while I felt guilty for PLAYING a Blessed of Mesos, I had 0 compunction about having one in my Scarred Lands game. And I still don't. [/QUOTE]
