Is there a d20 publication out for modifying somatic components for spells?

Ooh, I like the High Draconic idea. . .

great! go get a copy of the MGP, it has the full text of the High draconic feat in it. You can use it! I would recommend it, but as of yet, my player who wants it does not qualify for it, so he has not brought it to me for approval.

Mechanics aren't too hard. 20 + the spells level + the feats level adjustment. The feats level adjustment doubles if you don't actually know the feat (you can use the spell to add feats without increasing the level of the spell).

You earn ranks at a rate of two skiil points per 1, modified by Int.

besides back lash, you lose access to a spell per day and spell known every 5 ranks. The first is from first level, the next is from second level, etc.

Backlash has a table, but you can DM that as needed.

Spontaneous casters can also use the skill to cast a spell using a lower level spell slot (can't adjust wit a feat). I don't remember the roll though.


If you want an official copy, get dragon magic from MGP. Evil stuff. Using the skill to improve spells, gain draconic features (sorcerers only), gain draconic spell like abilites (bards only), and new 'power word' spells requiring the skill. There's also the drocomancer (1oth level ability is to negate the penalties of the other abilities).

thanks for eveyones responses. I'm looking for something that runs along the lines of MGP's material components book (there is a skill roll, but the majority of the benefit is based on DM and player imagination). I'm guessing it isn't out there.

There are very few products out there that deal with spell components -- it seems that most groups simply handwave spell components rather than deal with them. (Which I find sad but understandable.)

MGP's arcane components and foci book is a good read (for the material components anyway). Alas I have to agree. It's the only one I've seen so far that covers only spell components.
