[QUOTE="Jer, post: 3781624, member: 19857"] This part screamed out at me: It makes me think that whatever underlying system they're using for wizard implements is being used for other things too. And the way the "disciplines/traditions" and implements are being talked about, I'm getting a distinct "Mage the Awakening" vibe. I hope they're not that tightly integrated. I don't mind the idea of having magical traditions in my D&D games - in fact, I like it so much that I've been using them in my games for a long time[*] - but I want to be able to easily make my own traditions, not just get stuck renaming the traditions that they've already outlined because the spells that they've assigned to each tradition have to be kept the way they are due to "balance" reasons. I mean, it won't stop me from doing it, but it'll annoy me to no end.
