[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 2677379, member: 63"] Nope. That was one of the greatest complaints from EOM-R. Touch attacks were just better than saves in most instances. You can still use Attack to enhance an item with bonus damage dice, but you'd have to bypass armor. So no, there aren't touch attacks. If you wanted to introduce touch attack spells, I'd have to suggest increasing the spell's level to compensate, but I couldn't say by how much. Yes. It's really a balancing act to make sure a given tradition isn't too powerful. I think I may have made a mistake when the PC Mage in my campaign just leveled and took both Telepath and Postmodern Magus at the same level, which basically gives him a +4 bonus to his Charm spellcasting, among other things. He's becoming quite the versatile spellcaster, with Wicca, Spanish Inquisitor, and now Telepath. But anyway, the traditions that can get death damage generally don't get as many of the utility spells. They have to focus on attacking. Curses are permanent (like a magic item) not permanent like a spell with a permanent duration (to use a core example, if you dispel continual flame, the spell ends for good). I'd say yes to the create question. If you make a permanent bridge, it could be dispelled temporarily. Email me. I'm sorry I forgot about that, but I've been very busy with the new store. Heck, I still have 3 proposals in my inbox that I haven't addressed yet. I'm trying to finish all my current projects before starting anything new. But yeah, email me, and I'll send you an updated copy. [/QUOTE]
