[QUOTE="Dykstrav, post: 3183253, member: 40522"] If you're looking for alternate magic systems, there's a plethora of them out there. I personally dig the pact magic from [I]Tome of Magic[/I]. It has a very eldritch, Lovecraftian feel to it. I'd love to play a binder in a future game. I'm certainly planning on using one as a villain some time. [I]Magic of Incarnum[/I] is... Interesting. The chakra and soulbind system is a real departure from the classic D&D magic system, and I can see how it'd be alot of fun to play an incarnum-using character. At the same time, it's alot of material to digest. I may be willing to play an incarnum-user, but it'd be a bit much to chew as a DM when you have so many other tasks to juggle. As a DM, I tend to view my own source material as stuff that either helps me design the setting or the adventures. I pick up tons of monster books. Unbalanced monsters are easier to deal with than unbalanced character stuff (such as new classes or spells), and besides, new monsters are just fun. :D I'm really digging some of the Green Ronin products. My own games have always had an ancient world flavor to them. I found [I]Testament[/I] and [I]the Trojan War[/I] to be incredibly well designed and executed. The material for Rokugan and Nyambe is also fresh and evocative for D&D. Have you got ideas for a campaign yet? :) [/QUOTE]
