[QUOTE="Omega Lord, post: 779178, member: 7393"] Hello all, Ive been reading these threads for a few months now and this is the first time I have actually caught up with the leading edge of the thread. RW, great idea man. Everyone else wonderful development. Too bad we started this after the setting search at wizards or else we could submit a communal entry :D , but I digress... Expect to have my particular brand of creative insanity to the mix. 1st order of business. On the Ausel divine connection. One thing that was mentioned wayy back in this thread was perhaps using shugenja's from OA. I must say the more the Ausel culture fleshes out the more I think this might be a good idea. Think about it, shugenja are element focused divine sorcerors. The elemental focus fits in with the whole Ausel magic thing and the shugenjas dont worship a god, just the elements (or perhaps the elemental dragons). Possible problems with this 1. the wood dragon, AFAIK there is no "wood" based shugenja, however this is a moderatly easy fix. Just add some spells dealing with plants to the OA spell list and call it good. 2. Not everyone has OA, not everyone likes OA. Another thing that shugenjas would do is give a very uniqe flavor to the Ausel magicians. Granted there would still be sorceror elite but the shugenjas could add the element of divine casting into the Ausel pantheon (no clerics=no magic healing= :( ) and they could serve as "high preists" of a sort. Like I said, if everyone likes the idea of incorporating OA into this scenario then I think that this would be a wonderful place to start. Other possible OA additions: weapons/items, OA critters, shamans for the cressians, perhaps centauric Ta'Jinn samuri? Just some thoughts. ACKKKKK!! I just had a very twisted idea, Ausel maho tasuki:eek: !! Granted that would require a little rules bending but yipes. [/QUOTE]
