This is my go through of some of the truenamer powers trying to convert them to fourth. I should have them all done eventually but would like input on what I have so far before I continue going through their big list. After truenamers I want to mess around with shadowcasters.
True namers were designed as a utility class and I have attempted to keep that in mind. As you will see my approach is to give them powers that are minor actions. This is because most truenamer powers don't deal damage at all. This allows you to say your words while striking at your foes or doing whatever else.
Again, this is not fully done and I have many more levels of powers to go through and consider. My favorite classes come from Tome of Magic and Magic of Incarnum.
NOTE: you may only use one power in a turn. All powers without a range entry should be ranged 5 or 10 but I"m not sure what to give them. my primary reasoning is "should you be allowed to make an attack after this" when determining what should be minor/move/standard.
