First Post
The 'Struggling with spells' was getting rather long, so I thought I would get a fresh start. I have compiled the my spell paths into the attached PDF, sans flavor text {not my strong suit}.
Some thoughts on the 'how to build'
Spell paths should be about 10 spells long and rather tightly focused onto one or two themed effects. A Grand Elf, apprenticed Fire-Mage I will have a LOG of 9 and plenty of room for pyromaniac goodness. Thats over 90 'signature' spells to work with. Even a less focused caster will have 4 to 6 spell paths available.. still looking at at least 40 signature spells.
In my game the casters have stuck with 4 or 5 'go to' spells.
Some Paths should 'build' on others.. I haven't done this yet but I plan on doing a 'part II' of some of these paths that cover the 10 to 20 MP range.
Update: New paths added, and fixed a formatting error that trimmed some of the spell text.
