[QUOTE="Izerath, post: 1523088, member: 6743"] [b]Some initial kudos.[/b] Ryan, I know you asked for questions here but regardless, I want to say: Well done! I purchased the first EoM release and found that the spirit of the rules were in the right place, but the system was clunky; So much so that I continued to use my own rules for just this type of magic. I've never been satisfied, even with my own rules. With that said, I have been scouring your new release and while I am not yet finished reading, I am pleased. I want to commend you for breaking loose of the common "must be in levels" power rating. This is the one "stigma" I believe is holding back the industry as a whole. Nearly every author is concerned about "levels." I understand that old habits die hard, but in this case, your use of a "caster level" mechanic did the trick and opened up the possibilities for the system without having to work through the whole "levels stack/do not stack" issue. Bravo. I am already taking notes on how to adapt my house rules (more like a core rulebook at this juncture with over 200 pages) to use EoMR as the core system for arcane spellcasting.
