[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7386673, member: 6803337"] A) Thank you for chiming in. It helps to hear from somebody who is 'doing DS in real life' (as opposed to me who 'might do DS again someday'). B) IIRC, defiling magic is the normal state of affairs. Preserving magic is an act of will. So you might need a feat or a class feature added to indicate that you [U]don't[/U] kill everything around you. One thing I can see is rules for defiling extra when you up-cast a spell. The 4e [I]Dark Sun Campaign Sourcebook[/I] mentioned that Hamanu destroyed a rival city with one spell (and slew his own army to empower it), which sounded a lot like [I]Meteor Swarm[/I] with metamagic applied and a few hundred Sorcery Points to work with. There should also be a class feature on Sorcerer where, at high levels, you can create a 'positive feedback loop' between your defiling and the Sorcerer Points you are gaining - to expand the defile radius (and cover more victims) - before the main spell has to be cast. Of course, if you ever display this ability and leave witnesses, the Sorcerer-Kings send agents and assassins after you before you can become a rival to them. [/QUOTE]
