[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 7866543, member: 70"] The Shadowend is pretty intensely magical, with a lot of what might be considered divine "activity". D&D alchemy doesn't fit the mix well, but philosophical alchemy would. No one (including myself) has bothered getting into it though. Artificers could be justified because The Smith's Wife, has been up-and-coming as an Envidier (saint/patron/hero-deity) possibly transitioning to the ranks of the Dalerain (most deities), and employing adventurers and other parties to work on her behalf. As a creation of the smith-god, she's the patron of living/intelligent magic items, magical item creation in general, and things of that sort. She did some Bad Things, and gave away some Bad Secrets, in the past, and is trying to fix those mistakes now. Technically the entire Wyrld is one infinite (and flat!) plane, encompassing the inner and outer plans as well, so there's plenty of room for everything, but yeah, psionics doesn't really float my boat. I had a really nice rune magic class & system for a while in 2e, but it made an incomplete leap to 3e and I haven't done enough 5e design to even think about it. I did recast the Rokugan Void mechanics as Wyrd/Glamour, which I thought was pretty excellent, but quit DMing around then so they didn't get much use. Totally on my 5e "to-do" list. Undead probably eat life because they've got a tiny fragment of Nothing inside them, and so are just so[I] hungry[/I]. Endlessly, infinitely, hungry. Hadn't really thought about it. Blog. Have a couple of posts in draft form actually, getting back into it. [URL='https://secretsoftheshadowend.blogspot.com/']Secrets of the Shadowend[/URL] Edit: The thing is, I made an early decision to throw science out the window. Stuff works because the gods say so. Sometimes stuff is because the gods said so a really long time ago, and That's Just How It Is (code for: even they've forgotten why, but they're sure they had A Really Good Reason). [/QUOTE]
