Not much.Terry Goodkind has a lot of flavour (and thus mechanical changes) in his books which are different than D&D. I am 100% willing to help you with this; i always wanted to stat up those guys <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Damn, is this gonna be fun.Prolly the first thing to do would be re-name the post, and add in a bit of a foreword to your first post, so as to draw people in. Simply saying that adding the healing spells to the Wizards/Sorcerer was not satisfactory, and now you want to make a fresh build based on Terry Goodkinds books. hen, re-name the post to something like "Need Help with making Terry Goodkind Wizard/Sorcerer". Thats a good start; if you want to completely re-make the Wizard/Sorcerer. Yeah, this is something i don't like about D&D as well. If you are a Wizard, you HAVE to have a spellbook and material components. Ugh. What about the Zoroasterian Priests called Magi? Obviously, this lead the way to the name "mage" in English. Wizards? this used to eman Wise man > Tolkien in Middle Earth does an excellent job of distinguising this by using some very old themes, and by continually reffering to the wizards (Gandalf, Saruman, etc) as "the wise."I do not know of any other system which gets rid of this load of donkey doo-doo; but I'd be willing to give it more than a fleeting skim-over. The idea of wizards having spellbooks and spell materials is more-so comtemporary over-elaboration of soem older rituals that took much longer than "one round" etc. Who here has seem Alexzander? The ritual with the bull near to the beggining is definitively a ritual, and probably pretty accurate. Near the end of Rome time in britain, there are account of bull sacrifices in which people stood underneath a platform and the dieing/dead bulls blood would drip though specially placed pipes onto the people underneath > sorta like a permanent "Bulls Strenght" and or "Bears Endurance."Anyways, what do you think of a fresh build?</blockquote>
