Not only is magic-using discouraged, channellersa are actively hunted down!  And the spell lists are RADICALLY different from standard D+D.  (A channeler cannot get "Magic Missile" until they are mid-level, for instance.)2) Legates: Antoher major component of the setting.  Legates don't have to be all-powerful, but they should be omnipresent.  Even a low-level Legate could be a MAJOR thorn in the partys side for many levels.  (And if they have an Astirax?  Fuhgeddabout it!)  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />3) The new demi-human races.  Antoher cool aspect to bring into the series to illustrate the differences between "Core" D+D and Midnight.4) Heroic Paths: IMO, one of the coolest things. mechanicswise, to come out of the Midnight setting.  (Yes, some are better than others, and some are over-powered in general, but still they're a cool concept!!) And they've flavorful, too- they really should help shape a character right from character generation onward!Do you have a general story idea, so that we can give more specific comments and advice?</blockquote>
