Besides, the whole new magic system with its 1,200 new spells is just one of the customizations of the 3rd edition system that the EverQuest Role-Playing Game has to offer fantasy gaming aficionados.

Is this a typo?

If not I'm tempted

I'm tempted to pick it up just to have a mana based magic system. However if it does have that many spells in it thats even more reason to pick it up.

Salutations,

You may want to note their classes go to atleast 30th lvl- so their magic progression rate may be different then d&d.

1200 spells... thats' friggin overwhelming.

Of course, what I do not like is the "Weapon Delay Factor." Now what does that remind me of? Hmm!

sonofa I was about to say hey wouldn't a DAoC RPG based loosley aorund d20 be cool, but no instead they make an evercrack game. DAoC has a much cooler baground story IMO.

That's up to the trademark owner of Dark Ages of Camelot, Shard.

I'm just glad that Sony is willing to make their online fantasy world available for PnP RPG. Now if Lord British would follow suit making their Ultima world a commercial PnP RPG.

What you have to understand about EQ magic is all the spells are upgraded versions ov\f older spells. Like: the lvl 1 fire spell does 4 damage then when you hit lvl 4 you get the new fire spell which does 8 damage. So yea they have over a thousand spells but they are just the same old spell that does more damage or heals more etc.... though some spells are unique like invis etc

The delay mechanic is actually pretty cool, I must say...

 

[Ranger REG]

Hmph. If it reminds me of an old rules mechanics that should have gone the way of the dodo (along with the THAC0 formula), I'll probably ignore it, including any skills, feats, and magic affecting this mechanics.

I'll wait and see on the delay mechanic. If it is like the combat and tactics round system it is kinda cool, but not really worth the slowdown.
