[QUOTE="Belgarath, post: 186503, member: 3418"] [b]problems with the rules[/b] I myself have found some admittedly nit-picky details that do not add up. 1) Spontaneous Wizard Spells - this ability requires arcane mastery( which means no spellbook), but the text states that a diety still needs a book unless he/she has Divine Spellcasting. 2) Increased Energy Resistance - adds additionial resistance to acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic energy. Being divine gives IMMUNITY to three of those. 3) Arcane Master - gives the diety all spells in the spell list as long as he/she has enough levels and intelligence. Minimum intelligence is 29! How many 20th levels spells are you aware of? 4) Divine Ranger - this is the only divine class salient ability that requires anything else except 20th level in that class. Looks like rangers got shafted again. 5) Alter Reality - says that it can work like Create Object including the required rest period. What rest period!? 6) Rest Period - where does it state anything about a rest period, besides in Alter Reality? 7) Godly Attributes - if I was creating a deity from scratch, how can I figure out what STR, DEX, etc to give him. Seems the official ruling has been left out. Looking at the web enhancement it gives a 0 rank deity anywhere between 22-40! 8) Sorecers - I see all kinds of neat salient abilities regarding wizards, but where are the ones for sorcerers? These are just things that I have found just glancing through the book. I have not done a detailed analysis yet. I am almost afraid to. [/QUOTE]
