Complete Mage ToC

[Razz]

I am glad for no more new base classes. They were getting annoying now. But I do like alternate class features.

I, too, am a little upset that there's only 2 measly pages of Warlock invocations. Was hoping for at least 4-5 pages worth.

But I am really excited to see that 95% of all this is original and not repeat prints from other books. And my Warlock player will be very interested with the new invocations and Warlock PrC!

Hexblade spells! Glad they are getting a little more love. Mind you, Rangers and Paladins are also getting new spells, which seems a little odd since they are divine casters, but maybe this is part of the "arcane class feature variant" package?

So my big guess:

Eldritch Theurge: Warlock/Wizard (or other arcane spellcaster), need 2nd level arcane spells and, what, 2 or 3 invocations known?

Eldritch Disciple: Warlock/Cleric (or other divine caster).

Or are they going to be more like the Arcane Heirophant, I wonder?

So what the heck is an Ultimate Magus? Dare I ask?

Where's that mouse when you need him. . . eh, never mind that actually. NDAs and all, no doubt.

This looks good and has helped cinch the deal -- I'll pick Complete Mage up when it hits Australia.

I was all set to pass on this book. The first 30 pages look excellent, at least. Beyond that, it mostly falls into the category of "stuff I've got too much of, already".

We'll see, though. If there were another couple pages of Invocations, it'd shift me closer to a purchase.

"Ultimate Magus" sounds like what I've wanted ever since I saw the Mystic Theurge: Sorcerer/Wizard.

Glee!

Also, new Warlock Invocations and more alternate class features! Huzzah!

So, looks like the table of contents for Complete Mage is up.

Thoughts at this stage?

Spying the list, I see alternative class abilities but (read my lips) no new (base) classes.

I'm so happy, I could almost shed a tear.

 

[Pinotage]

I like what I'm seeing. Seems to add a lot to already existing classes and material without adding a lot of new stuff.

It looks good to me, but I have to agree with theredrobedwizard, what is the Ultimate Magus? Is it going to beat the Archmage?
